The Oldest Social Housing Complex in the World
Established in 1521 and still in use today to help the underprivileged/needy live a respectable life. Annual rent is a mere 0.88 euro cents.
There are rules to apply and a seven page charter that stipulates who is eligible.
It is a great read and a beautiful piece of property.
The price of the tour is 6 times the annual rent per person!

For centuries, the streets of the Fuggerei were not lit during the night.
The residents had to navigate by touch.
Each unit had a different bell pull that set itself apart.
