Siemensstadt Housing Estate

The labor colonies Falkenberg, Schillerpark, Britz, Carl Legiens Weiße Stadt and Siemensstadt built in Berlin between 1913 and 1934 were declared World Heritage UNESCO in 2008, considering the remarkable influence exerted on contemporary architecture and urbanism and what was at the time as a new type of social housing, which in contrast to the overcrowded and unsanitary typical tenements the time possessed airy rooms with plenty of light, spacious gardens and modern sanitary facilities. The diaphanous forms of modernism inspired the construction style of the twentieth century.

The Siemensstadt settlement arose between 1929-1931-1934, under the direction of architect Hans Scharoun and participated in its construction, Walter Gropius Hugo Haring, Bartning Otto, Fred and Paul Rudolf Henning Forbat who were part of a progressive group of young architects called Der Ring ” the Ring “, which is why the settlement was called ” Siemensstadt Ringsiedlung “.

The linear blocks, or ” Zeilenbau ” generally oriented in a north- south axis to maximize access to daylight, in parallel stripes, with green spaces between them and individual balconies. Within each of these parameters individually expressed architect in designing different blocks coexisting trends in modern German architecture of the time.
