📍 Where to Apply

Wohngeld is handled by your local Wohngeldstelle (housing benefit office), usually part of the Rathaus or Bürgeramt.

How to find it: Search "[Your City] Wohngeldstelle" or ask at your local Bürgeramt.
Processing time: Usually 4-8 weeks. Wohngeld is paid from the month you apply, not retroactively.
