Curated: A responsible committee implements the founder's intentions and an administration looks after the residents on site.
Perpetuity: The continued existence of a Fuggerei must be sustainably guaranteed by a forward-looking management and sufficient financial resources.
Minimum spiritual consideration: Stands for the sense of prayer or moment of calm in order to perceive one’s own connection with other people.
Minimum monetary consideration: This goes back to the annual rent of Rhenish Guilder (currently 88 cent). The consideration itself has always been important, as the residents make their own contribution with it and are not recipients of charity.
Foundation: A Fuggerei must be managed as a foundation.

A life in dignity: A Fuggerei is oriented towards a life of self-determination in a good environment thanks to high-quality architecture, fittings and details.
From the region: A Fuggerei is specifically for people who have been at home locally for a while.
Standards since 1521: The Fuggerei has set a good example in its orientation, size and quality since 1521. An example: since the start, considerably more people in need have found a roof over their head than in other housing foundations. One feature of a Fuggerei, therefore, is that if offers optimum space for lots of people.
