The history of the Weissenhofsiedlung Stuttgart
<p>The Weissenhof Siedlung, or exhibition estate, was built in Stuttgart, Germany in 1927 as a solid manifesto of modern movement architects, a demonstration of their abilities in the field of housing. The white stuccoed, flat-roofed buildings were designed by architects who would later become well-known: Peter Behrens, Victor Bourgeois, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Richard Döcker, Josef Frank, Walter Gropius, Ludwig Hilbersheimer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Jakobus Johannes Pieter Oud, Hans Poelzig, Adolf Rading, Hans Scharoun, Adolf Gustav Schneck, Mart Stam, Bruno Taut and Max Taut. Weissenhof soon achieved fame - some would say, notoriety - and was generally taken to be the first public exhibition of what was later called “International Style”.</p>
