Description

In the two blocks, 72 apartments with flats of 35 or 45 square meters were built for civil servants, employees and workers. The constructions began in 1931 and the apartments were ready to move into in March 1932. The houses are simply designed, only the stairwells protrude a little. The stairwell windows are still original. The houses had no balconies, these were added during the modernization (around 2000?). The plans for this block are showing, that on the corner of Elisabeth-Schumacher-Str./Dybwadstr. was planned a single-storey low-rise building for a shop, which was not implemented.
