City historian and Neukölln expert Henning Holsten will tell us about the next Berlin settlement, the Hufeisensiedlung, as part of this year’s architecture theme. It is an architectural landmark of international renown. Who moved into what is today a World Heritage Site in the 1920s? Which demands did architects and housing administrations make on the new residents? And how did this new style of living look in practice?
Past event
Museum Neukölln, postcard Tree blossom festival in the Hufeisensiedlung, 1964.
The tour takes a peek behind the doors of the Hufeisensiedlung architectural monument, where politics and everyday life, united departure into the future and retreat into the private sphere still present a peculiar mix today. Last but not least, we welcome the head of temporary exhibitions, Gregor Lersch, as a resident of the Hufeisensiedlung.
