The constricted nature of the housing market in Munich creates considerable challenges for trainees. Average training allowances are frequently insufficient to cover the high rental costs of flats. Against this background, Munich City Council has initiated a scheme entitled “AzubiWerk”, in which it joins forces with other civic partners to create affordable accommodation for trainees. The association running the scheme combines housing provision with pedagogical support measures and opportunities for co-determination. This article provides insights into the services of the association and the impacts these are having.
