The aim of the article is to clarify the influence of housing construction by a non-profit organization on the second-hand rented housing market in 1920s Germany through a case study of the construction of "Weegerhof Siedlung (housing estate)", Solingen. The rented housing construction there was mainly undertaken by the non-profit cooperative society "Spar- und Bauverein Solingen" (SBV). In 1920s Germany, shortage of housing became a serious problem and was characterized by two different forms. The first kind was housing shortage for low-income people. This was due to the increase in urban population following industrialization in the late nineteenth century. The second kind was the housing shortage for young couples, especially newly married couples. Shortly after the end of the First World War, the number of newly married couples increased drastically and these people sought new housing. In an attempt to overcome this housing shortage, considerable public subsidies were given to non-profit organizations trying to supply small flats. The construction "Weegerhof Siedlung" was the biggest of the housing estate projects conducted by the SBV in the 1920s. This article focuses on two groups of people: those who lived as first dwellers in Weegerhof and those who moved into rented second-hand housing which was made available when the first dwellers of Weegerhof moved into the new housing estate. The first dwellers of Weegerhof were mainly young people and many of them were either skilled workers or belonged to the middle class. As such, the construction of the Weegerhof housing estate eased the housing problem for young couples. People on low income did not move into the new housing but still benefited from their construction; many of those who moved into the second-hand housing left behind by the first dwellers of Weegerhof were young, less skilled workers. The housing problem for low-income people was thus alleviated by the second hand rented housing market that had been created by the construction of new flats in Weegerhof. As such, the new social housing estate for skilled workers created a chain of vacancies in the secondhand rented housing market that filtered down to benefit low skilled workers.
