    Glossary: German mortgage terms explained

    Back to glossary

    Wohn-Riester is the state-subsidised pension scheme under the Riester model that can be used to buy or pay off owner-occupied housing.

    It is subsidised with allowances and, where applicable, tax benefits. The later taxation of the Wohnförderkonto is complex, so independent advice before signing is worthwhile.
