Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft Rüdersdorf eG traces its origins to September 1954, when the cooperative was founded as the Arbeiterwohnungsbaugenossenschaft „Karl Marx“ (Workers' Housing Construction Cooperative "Karl Marx"). This founding took place in the context of the German Democratic Republic, where workers' housing cooperatives were a common form of housing provision. The cooperative was established to provide housing in Rüdersdorf, a historically significant town in Brandenburg known for its limestone deposits. Following German reunification, the cooperative was entered in the cooperative register in 1990 under the new name Wohnungsbaugenossenschaft Rüdersdorf eG. This renaming and re-registration marked the transition from the East German cooperative system to the legal framework of the Federal Republic of Germany. Over the decades, the cooperative has continued to manage and develop its housing stock in Rüdersdorf. According to its own information, it currently manages 640 well-maintained residential units and 8 commercial units, and it also provides third-party property management services, with 23 externally managed residential units at present. It offers two guest apartments to members at reduced prices. In September 2024, the cooperative celebrated its 70th anniversary with a jubilee event held on 21 September 2024, referred to as "70+1" — a celebration of its long history. The cooperative continues to hold annual members' meetings; the 2025 meeting took place on 19 June 2025 with 77 participants, and the 2026 meeting was held on 18 June 2026 with nearly 700 members invited. It also holds elections for its supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat), with members elected for three-year terms. The cooperative remains active in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin, Brandenburg, Germany, and continues to serve its members with housing and community services.
