The UNESCO World Heritage Site "Großsiedlung Siemensstadt" (Large housing estate Siemensstadt) has a large stock of excellently preserved Bauhaus architecture from 1930, in addition to the so-called organic architecture. An almost unique opportunity to compare the two architectural schools in one construction project.
This exciting and entertaining tour covers not only the architectural highlights, it also explains many interesting facts about Berlin around 1930: Who was the settlement designed for, who actually lived here? Did the architects forget the shopping facilities? What did Siemens have to do with the project? And isn't the housing estate in fact located in Charlottenburg? These and other questions will be answered during a tour lasting more than two hours. During the tour, there are also many partly hidden special features to be discovered in the buildings and green spaces. In addition, we will look at the background of the 'Berlin Modernism' and the construction of the housing estate.
This is not dry, boring tour stuffed with numbers, but relaxed, entertaining and interesting for everyone.
