When it comes to safety, factors such as lighting, locked front doors, fire safety, burglary prevention, and accident prevention play a crucial role.

In addition, our building superintendents conduct regular inspections and promptly address any reported issues. Through the Meine WGL-App , tenants can quickly and easily send us their feedback.

WGL has launched a neighborhood support program to encourage tenant involvement. To this end, WGL provides 2.00 euros per year for each rental unit.

The WGL has chosen to focus on regional support for youth programs in the areas of sports, the arts, culture, education, and social services. By supporting young people in Leverkusen, the WGL helps foster the independence and education of children and adolescents, with the goal of helping them develop into responsible individuals capable of contributing to the community.

In particular, the WGL focuses on supporting children from socially disadvantaged families so that they, too, can experience a sense of community, belonging, and support.

Although youth work is the primary focus, selected projects that assist people in need or promote and preserve regional traditions will continue to receive support.

A successful request for a donation or sponsorship should ideally include the name of the organization and the name of a specific contact person. The project for which support is being sought should be described briefly and concisely so that the purpose of the funding is clearly understood.

It is also helpful to specify a specific donation or sponsorship amount. Finally, you should include the bank account details to which the financial support can be transferred.

Since WGL is a subsidiary of the City of Leverkusen and offers housing exclusively within the city limits of Leverkusen, we are particularly committed to supporting only social organizations, institutions, or projects in Leverkusen or those with ties to the Leverkusen region.

Requests for donations or sponsorship should be sent via email to Ms. Mayhack at mayhack@wgl-lev.de along with our application form. If you have any further questions, please contact Ms. Mayhack at 0214 384 42.
