Stauffenbergstraße (1929)

The house has been built in an L-shape. The long sides face south and west to take advantage of the best possible light conditions. The east side forms a small courtyard in which the staircase is located. This area of the house very clearly shows the architect's modern architectural approach, and is not visible from the street. The staircase is designed as an independent glazed tower. To the south and west are balconies that are plastered and painted. Even on the east and north facade, small balconies have been added next to the entrance. The rest of the building is cladded with dark red clinker bricks. The building is composed of four floors. At the southeast corner the third floor is not used for flats. Behind the little windows is situated the drying floor.

The house has been built between 1929 and 1930. As a private investment, this is Leipzig's first apartment house built according to modern construction principles. The architect established a connection between Leipzig and Wrocław, one of the most progressive centres for modern architecture at the time.
