Large Housing Estate Britz

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.

Britz is the second site I visited in February 2014.

Constructed 1925 – 1930

Urban Design: Bruno Taut (together with Martin Wagner)
