Weissenhof Estate

Weissenhof Estate (Weißenhofsiedlung) in Stuttgart is a landmark of modern architecture, built in 1927 for the Deutscher Werkbund. Curated by Mies van der Rohe, it features pioneering houses by Le Corbusier, Gropius, Behrens, and others, showcasing early International Style ideas—flat roofs, open plans, and functional design. Two Le Corbusier houses now host the Weissenhof Museum, offering context on modern living experiments. The compact site is easy to explore on foot, pairs well with nearby museums, and appeals to architecture enthusiasts, design students, and curious visitors interested in the roots of 20th‑century housing.
