What to expect
Visit the suburb of Zehlendorf and discover its residential buildings of the 20s in the light of modern living culture during a guided tour!
Even before 1918, wealthy Zehlendorf citizens wanted to shape a new type of individual retreat by building a classic single-family home. In this quiet, affluent residential area, they joined forces with architects such as Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and tried out new forms of living: simplification and thrift became the leitmotif in building.
Discover the joint commitment of building contractors, architects and municipal administration in the first pioneering housing project of modernism: the forest settlement Onkel-Toms-Hütte with Hugo Häring, Bruno Taut and Otto Rudolf Salvisberg. Learn more about this radical social and artistic approach that needed aesthetic correction under National Socialism. Visit other architectural examples - some of which are listed buildings - that answer the key question of the 1920s on how to live.
