Gewobag's name comes from a shortening of its former legal name, German: Gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau-AG Groß Berlin, roughly "Public Housing Construction Corporation of Greater Berlin".

In September 2019 Gewobag bought 6000 apartments, mostly in Spandau and Reinickendorf.[2] The purchase from ADO Properties cost 920 million euros[3] and is considered the largest such purchase of apartments ever for Berlin.[2]
