Life at the Azubiwerk
Living in small shared flats and the many communal areas and activities make our building more than just a collection of flats - it is a real home with a strong social environment, not on the outskirts of the metropolis, but conveniently located in the centre of the city.
"Great hall of residence for trainees. There are 2- and 4-bed shared flats, with their own kitchen and bathroom. Great communal rooms. Highly recommended"
- Tanja P.
"Extremely modern and very well equipped hall of residence. Great rooms, favourable rents and friendly staff on site. Highly recommended!"
- Rune L.
The non-profit Azubiwerk Foundation creates affordable housing and also offers educational counselling and support services for trainees - true to the motto: "More than just affordable housing for trainees".
Due to high rental costs, it is hardly possible for young people in vocational training to live close to their place of training. Attractive cities, such as Berlin, Munich or Hamburg, are increasingly becoming unaffordable for young people in training. This is in stark contrast to the mobility demanded by the labour market. The housing shortage in many large cities is increasingly becoming a criterion for not starting an apprenticeship there.
The Azubiwerk Foundation has therefore been running a residential complex for 156 trainees in Hamburg-Wandsbek since 2016. At the beginning of 2020, the foundation completed a second residential home in Hamburg-Harburg with 191 places, the third residential home with 209 places in Münzviertel (Hamburg-Mitte) was completed in 2022 and our fourth residential home in Hamburg-Altona will be completed this year. Further residential complexes are being planned.
In addition to educational support, affordable rents and spacious communal areas are an essential part of the residential offer.
Together with many sponsors, politicians, social partners, chambers and associations, as well as companies, we want to offer even more trainees a home and support in the future. In this way, we are doing our part to further increase the attractiveness of vocational training in Germany.
