World Heritage: Siemensstadt III - a photo on Flickriver

Großsiedlung Siemenstadt is one of six housing estates that testify to innovative housing policies from 1910 to 1933, especially during the Weimar Republic, when the city of Berlin was particularly progressive socially, politically and culturally. The reform movement contributed to improving housing and living conditions for people with low incomes through novel approaches to town planning, architecture and garden design. The projects had considerable influence on the development of housing around the world.
Striving for "Light, air and sun" the buildings were erected in a line construction that was still little tested at the time. The living rooms and balconies were oriented to the west (shown on the photo) and the bedrooms to the east.
Built: 1929-1931. Architect for this building: Hans Scharoun (he lived himself in an apartment in one of the buildings nearby from 1930 to 1960).
