Description
Almost all houses were built with four floors and balconies. Some of the upper floors are designed as apartments or serve as attics, marked by the small windows. However, the house at Heinrich-Heine-Straße 34 has five floors due to its lower location on the hill and a shop has been added on the ground floor. The two blocks Goethestraße 6 and Schillerstraße 21 differ from all other houses, as they stand alone and break up the row buildings. They rather correspond to the ideas of modern architecture, to dissolve terms like "back" and "front", "accessible" and "inaccessible".

History
The houses, built in 1930 and 1931, complete two blocks, of which the older houses are located more north along the streets Kleiststraße and Schillerstraße in 1929/30.
G.W.F. is not an official name of the housing estate. We only decided to do this for a better characterisation of the housing estate.
