Description

The architect built this house for his own needs. It differs significantly from the other single family houses in the street, which were built in traditional architectural styles in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s.Thanks to its formal language, this building is one of the best examples of modern architecture of the interwar time in Leipzig. The foot print of the house is 10 x 15 metres and all rooms were exclusively on the ground floor. Only a drying floor was designed on the first floor and surprisingly the flat roof was not used as a terrace.The Blochwitz family moved into the house on March 24, 1932.
