A good five years before the 500th anniversary of the Fuggerei in August 2021, preparations began for the big anniversary. All activities prepared the groundwork for the big idea of the anniversary under the motto "Fuggerei NEXT500". Sending the core ideas of the Fuggerei into the world as an impulse, as a recipe for success that can be implemented worldwide with "Fuggeries of the future" became the big theme of the anniversary year. An important decision by the Fugger Family Senate, which thus opened a whole new chapter in the history of the Fuggerei. Fuggerei NEXT500 passed the acid test. The anniversary theme is a success. The Fuggerei shows that it is far more than the oldest social settlement in the world - it offers an answer to global challenges and a concept that can have an impact everywhere.
