The estate consists of 21 houses designed by renowned modernist architects, including Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius and Bruno Taut.
It is considered a milestone of modern architecture and a pioneering example of international housing construction. The settlement was intended to serve as a showcase for modern living and was an important step towards creating affordable and functional housing for broad sections of the population.
Since 2016, the settlement has even been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
