Forum Kreuzberg is a co-operative in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Founded in 1972, we have spent more than 50 years showing that affordable housing, self-management and a living neighbourhood go together well. Six buildings, 88 flats and 36 spaces for trade, culture and craft.
What the Forum is, where it comes from and how it organises itself.
Living at the Forum means being a member: 88 co-operative flats, taken off the market, managed together.
The second pillar next to the co-operative: the Förderverein owns the land, and its income pays for culture, education and social projects.
Forum Kreuzberg is more than housing. This is where initiatives start and keep growing.
36 commercial units full of craft, art, therapy and culture: the businesses and studios of the Forum.

Our self-organised organic shop on the ground floor of Köpenicker Straße 172 is open to everyone, including neighbours from outside the Forum. Around 1,500 products, access by token, payment on trust. We have no flats to offer at the moment, but here we are glad about every new name on the list.
Children grow up here whose parents were children here too. The courtyards connect flats with workshops, the theatre rehearses next to the kindergarten, and around the corner is the Vorratskammer, the small organic shop the house runs itself. The members organise around 70 per cent of the shared tasks themselves, in about 18 working groups.
There are no flats available at the moment, but you can still get to know the Forum: on guided tours about architecture and co-operative living, at the festivals through the year or at the theatre. Groups from co-operatives, universities and public administration visit regularly.
