The rent hasn't changed since 1521 at world's oldest social housing in Germany
A general view of the streets at the Fuggerei in Augsburg. — Photos: AFP When German pensioner Angelika Stibi got the keys to her new home in the southern region of Bavaria this year, a huge financial weight was lifted from her shoulders. Stibi has to pay just 88 euro cents (RM4.30) a year for her apartment in the social housing complex known as the Fuggerei, where rents have not gone up since the Middle Ages. Founded in 1521 by the wealthy businessman Jakob Fugger and believed to be the oldest such project in the world, the Fuggerei in the city of Augsburg provides living space for 150 residents facing financial hardship. Consisting of several rows of yellow terraced buildings with green shutters and sloping red roofs, the complex still resembles a medieval village. "I had a truly wonderful life until I was 55," said Stibi, a mother of two in her 60s from Augsburg. The Fuggerei provides living space for 150 residents facing financial hardship. After she was diagnosed with cancer, "everything went from bad to worse" and she was left with no other option but to apply for social housing, she said. Waiting lists are long for apartments in the walled enclave not far from Augsburg city centre, with most applicants having to wait "between two and six or seven years", according to resident social worker Doris Herzog. "It all depends on the apartment you want. The ones on the ground floor are very popular," Herzog said. Applicants must be able to prove that they are Augsburg residents, Catholic and suffering from financial hardship. Climbing plants line the walls of homes on a street at the Fuggerei. Relative of Mozart Martha Jesse has been living at the Fuggerei for 17 years after finding herself with monthly pension payments of just €400 (RM1,972), despite having worked for 45 years. "Living elsewhere would have been almost impossible," said the 77-year-old, whose apartment is filled with religious symbols. The Fuggerei was heavily damaged in World War II but has since been rebuilt in its original style. Renowned composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's great-grandfather, the mason Franz Mozart, was once a resident and visitors can still see a stone plaque bearing his name. Founded in 1521, the Fuggerei is believed to be the oldest such project in the world. For Andreas Tervooren, a 49-year-old night security guard who has lived at the Fuggerei since 2017, the complex is "like a town within a town" or "the Asterix village in the comic books". The meagre rents at the Fuggerei are all the more remarkable given its location an hour's drive from Munich, the most expensive city in Germany to live in and one of the most expensive in Europe. Rents have also risen sharply in many other German cities in recent years, leading to a wave of protests. A bronze bust of the entrepreneur and banker Fugger. Daily prayer But not at the Fuggerei, whose founders stipulated that the rent should never be raised. Fugger (1459-1525), also known as Jakob the Rich, was a merchant and financier from a wealthy family known for its ties to European emperors and the Habsburg family. Fugger set up several foundations to help the people of Augsburg, and they continue to fund the upkeep of the Fuggerei to this day. The annual rent in the Fuggerei was one Rhenish gulden, about the weekly wage of a craftsman at the time - equivalent to 88 euro cents in today's money. The church of the Fuggerei. Although some descendants of the Fugger family are still involved in the management of the foundations, they no longer contribute any money. "We are financed mainly through income from forestry holdings, and we also have a small tourism business," said Daniel Hobohm, administrator of the Fugger foundations. The Fuggerei attracts a steady stream of visitors, and the foundations also receive rental income from other properties. In return for their lodgings, residents of the Fuggerei must fulfil just one condition - every day, they must recite a prayer for the donors and their families. – AFP

Israel's Smotrich advances West Bank settlement plan to block Palestinian state
MAALE ADUMIM, West Bank/TEL AVIV: Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced that work would start on a long-delayed settlement that would divide the West Bank and cut it off from East Jerusalem, a move his office said would 'bury' the idea of a Palestinian state. The Palestinian government, allies and campaign groups condemned the scheme, calling it illegal and saying the fragmentation of territory would rip up peace plans for the region. Standing at the site of the planned settlement in Maale Adumim on Thursday, Smotrich, a settler himself, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump had agreed to the revival of the E1 development, though there was no immediate confirmation from either. 'Whoever in the world is trying to recognise a Palestinian state today will receive our answer on the ground. Not with documents nor with decisions or statements, but with facts. Facts of houses, facts of neighbourhoods,' Smotrich said. Asked about his remarks, a U.S. State Department spokesperson said: 'A stable West Bank keeps Israel secure and is in line with this administration's goal to achieve peace in the region,' and referred reporters to Israel's government for further information. The spokesperson said Washington remained primarily focused on ending the war in Gaza. The United Nations urged Israel to reverse its decision to start work on the settlement. 'It would put an end to prospects of a two-state solution,' U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters. 'Settlements go against international law ... (and) further entrench the occupation.' Israel froze construction plans at Maale Adumim in 2012, and again after they were revived in 2020, amid objections from the U.S., European allies and other powers who considered the project a threat to any future peace deal with the Palestinians. Restarting the project could further isolate Israel, which has watched some of its Western allies condemn its military offensive in Gaza and announce they may recognise a Palestinian state. Palestinians fear the settlement building in the West Bank - which has sharply intensified since the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel that led to the Gaza war - will rob them of any chance to build a state of their own in the area. In a statement headlined 'Burying the idea of a Palestinian state,' Smotrich's spokesperson said the minister had approved the plan to build 3,401 houses for Israeli settlers between an existing settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem. In Maale Adumim, Smotrich, an ultra-nationalist in the ruling right-wing coalition who has long advocated for Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank, told Reuters the plan would go into effect on Wednesday. Breaking the Silence, an Israeli rights group established by former Israeli soldiers, said what it called a land grab 'will not only further fragment the Palestinian territory, but will further entrench apartheid'. Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the Palestinian president's spokesperson, called on the United States to pressure Israel to stop settlement building. 'The EU rejects any territorial change that is not part of a political agreement between involved parties. So annexation of territory is illegal under international law,' European Commission spokesperson Anitta Hipper said. British Foreign Minister David Lammy said the plan must be stopped. 'The UK strongly opposes the Israeli government's E1 settlement plans, which would divide a future Palestinian state in two and mark a flagrant breach of international law,' Lammy said in an emailed statement. HOUSE BUILDING 'IN A YEAR' Peace Now, which tracks settlement activity in the West Bank, said there were still steps needed before construction but infrastructure work could begin within a few months, and house building in about a year. 'The E1 plan is deadly for the future of Israel and for any chance of achieving a peaceful two-state solution. We are standing at the edge of an abyss, and the government is driving us forward at full speed,' Peace Now said in a statement. Consecutive Israeli governments have initiated, approved, planned and funded settlements, according to Israeli rights group Yesh Din. Some settlers moved to the West Bank for religious or ideological reasons, while others were drawn by lower housing costs and government incentives. They include American and European dual citizens. Palestinians are already demoralised by the Israeli military campaign which has killed more than 61,000 people in Gaza, according to local health authorities, and fear Israel will ultimately push them out of that territory. About 700,000 Israeli settlers live among 2.7 million Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israel annexed East Jerusalem in 1980, a move not recognised by most countries, but has not formally extended sovereignty over the West Bank. Most world powers say settlement expansion has eroded the viability of a two-state solution by fragmenting Palestinian territory. The two-state plan envisages a Palestinian state in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, existing side by side with Israel. Israel cites historical and biblical ties to the area and says the settlements provide strategic depth and security. Most of the global community considers all settlements illegal under international law. Israel rejects this interpretation, saying the West Bank is 'disputed' rather than 'occupied' territory. Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand imposed sanctions in June on Smotrich and another far-right minister who advocates for settlement expansion, accusing both of them of repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. - Reuters

AARP Celebrates 90 years of Social Security
Events Across Mississippi Highlight Social Security's Impact and AARP's Commitment to Protecting Social Security for Future Generations JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ninety years ago today, the Social Security Act was signed into law, marking a watershed moment for our country by providing American workers with a foundation for their financial security and dignity in retirement. Today more than 69 million Americans receive Social Security, with that number expected to increase to 82 million people by the time Social Security turns 100. Social Security helps tens of millions of Americans stay out of poverty and retire with dignity after a lifetime of hard work. For more than 40% of older Americans, Social Security is their primary source of income. And for many people, Social Security is the only inflation-protected income they have in retirement. In Mississippi, 691,000 people rely on the Social Security they've earned, including 281,000 who rely on it for over 50% of their income. As we look ahead to the next 90 years of Social Security, it's critical that it remains strong for Mississippians for years to come. 'If Social Security were taken away, we would barely have enough to pay our bills, with no spending money at all,' said Audrey Bell of Horn Lake. 'Social Security injects roughly $13.1 billion into Mississippi's economy every year,' said AARP Mississippi State Director Kimberly L. Campbell, Esq. 'AARP is proudly honoring the legacy of Social Security—while fighting to protect and strengthen it for older Americans today, and for our children and grandchildren.' AARP Mississippi has been presenting anniversary events throughout the summer. AARP members are showing up to celebrate Social Security and urge Congress to keep the promise of Social Security today and in the future. On Thursday, August 14, AARP Mississippi hosted a Picnic in the Park to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Social Security at LeFleur's Bluff State Park, 3315 Lakeland Terrace, Jackson from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The day included fun, music, Social Security information, games, food and more. On Social Security's 90th birthday, we commit to our members, and all older Mississippians, that AARP will fight to keep it strong for the decades to come.
