Modern Movement Settlement and Urban Development


The modern movement copper settlement in Eberswalde represents one of the few preserved model housing projects of the Weimar era in Eastern Germany. To use the potential of the unique cultural site in the future the Institute of New Industrial Culture proposed a strategic development plan for the historic pre-fabricated buildings.  

It was particularly important that the international significance of the unique settlement designed in the early 1930s by Bauhaus director Walter Gropius and others would not only fit in the existing development concepts of Eberswalde but would also stress the international importance of the copper buildings.
