Description

A small housing estate with six entrances and five floors was built in 1933 and 1934. They stand out from the rest of the houses in this neighbourhood, which were mostly built around 1900. This housing estate was built according some ideas of modernism in architecture. Possibly influenced by the surroundings, the houses were built very stately, but also quite heavily with ornamental elements on some parts of the façades.

The two houses in Waldstr. and the buildings in Wettiner Str. 15 and 15a were built in 1933, Wettiner Str. 17a and 17b in 1934.

The architect(s) and further information are unknown so far.
