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.
Siemensstdat is the first site that I visited in February 2014.
Constructed: 1929 to 1934
General Management: Martin Wagner
Urban Design: Hans Scharoun
Architects: Hans Scharoun, Walter Gropius, Otto Bartning, Fred Forbat, Hugo Häring and Paul R. Henning.
