For over 500 years: The oldest social settlement in the world is in Bavaria. Around 150 needy people live there and only pay a symbolic rent of less than one euro.
But the symbolic, low rental price is tied to one condition: three prayers every day are part of the rental agreement. The Catholic residents must say the Lord's Prayer, a Creed and a Hail Mary once a day for the salvation of the Fugger family. In 2021, the Fuggerei celebrated its 500th anniversary.
