The Exhibition "Berlin Housing Estates of the 1920s" was on 24 July 2007 and is open until 8 October 2007 to visit the Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design . It was created in cooperation with the Berlin Monument Authority and is supported by the Senate Department for Urban Development and the German Foundation for Monument Protection and promoted GEHAG group . The German Commission for UNESCO eV is patron. Berlin is characterized by a rich portfolio of new developments of the Weimar Republic, which not only highly influential works of modern architecture, but also witnesses to the social optimism of the 20s are. Six of these settlements are candidates for the World Heritage List of UNESCO: Falkenberg Garden City, Schiller Park settlement, Hufeisensiedlung Britz, residential Carl Legien , Siemensstadt and White City. Their architects are among the main actors of the new style: Otto Bartning, Fred Forbat, Walter Gropius, Hugo Häring, Paul Rudolf Henning, Otto Rudolf Salvisberg, Hans Scharoun, Bruno Taut and Martin Wagner or Ludwig Lesser and Lebrecht Migge for the gardens.
over a newly introduced Mietsteuergesetz initiated the Weimar Republic, one of Europe's housing program, the should keep the promise of a democratic constitution, "every German decent housing" to guarantee a basic right. Preferably inexpensive land on the periphery of cities, but within reach of public transport, residential complexes of different sizes were blank. Clients were predominantly non-profit housing associations and cooperatives. Color concepts, new forms of design, combinations of low terraced houses and higher apartment buildings, spacious parks, optimum sunlight are important signs of architectural diversity and geglückter housing policy. Since the 19 to 70 years Berlin examples of this exemplary historic preservation to housing reform concepts repaired. By 2006 for application of the Federal Republic for the inclusion of the six settlements in the list of UNESCO world heritage makes Berlin a further step to secure its architecturally unique heritage of a place in the heritage of humanity.
