Carl Legien Housing Estate

In 2008, six housing estates of Berlin Modernism were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. This decision corresponds to the UNESCO strategy of increasingly protecting sites of Modernism as World Heritage. The housing estates stand out internationally not only because of their great importance, but also due to their good state of preservation.

Carl Legien Housing Estate is the fifth and final site I visited in February 2014.

Constructed: 1928 to 1930
Urban Design: Bruno Taut
Architects: Bruno Taut, Franz Hilinger
Landscape Architects: Unknown, presumably Bruno Taut
