Weihnachtsgrüße von Zuhause

das eigene ZUHAUSE ist der Ort, an den wir jeden Abend zurückkehren; er ist ein Teil unserer Identität und ein Ort vieler Erinnerungen und Emotionen. Wir schaffen ihn, verändern ihn und passen ihn unseren Wünschen und Bedürfnissen an.

Die cds Wohnbau freut sich, ein Teil dieser Verwirklichung sein zu dürfen und ist stolz auf 73 erfolgreich realisierte Wohnprojekte.

Dafür möchten wir Danke sagen und freuen uns auf eine weiterhin erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit.

Wir wünschen Ihnen frohe Weihnachten und einen guten Start ins Jahr 2024.

Christmas greetings from Frankfurt

The new Buddy Bear colleague has strengthened our team since the 20th anniversary of the cds Wohnbau Group. It was presented in Frankfurt by all colleagues and artistically embodies the success of the cds. That had to be celebrated properly. All three locations used the time together for extensive discussions and gathered strength for the challenges of this time.

We wish our customers and business partners a peaceful celebration and lots of energy for the coming year.

Buddy Bear Berlin also celebrated its 20th anniversary. In 2002, Eva and Klaus Herlitz were guided by the idea of bringing art to the streets of the metropolis and invited artists from all over the world to design a bear for their country and exhibit it in Berlin. Many other bears followed and have shaped the cityscape ever since. Today, the Buddy Bears are the unofficial symbol of Berlin and are even known beyond the city limits.
