Berlin Modernism Housing Estates (GermanSiedlungen der Berliner Moderne) are an ensemble of six subsidized housinge states from the early 20th century, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dating mainly from the years of the Weimar Republic (1919–1933), when the city of Berlin was particularly progressive socially, politically and culturally, they are outstanding examples of the building reform movement that contributed to improving housing and living conditions for people with low incomes through novel approaches to architecture and urban planning. - in: wikipedia

  • Gartenstadt Falkenberg
  • Siedlung Schillerpark
  • Großsiedlung Britz
  • Wohnstadt Carl Legien
  • Weiße Stadt
