Old new building

As Altneubauten is called between 1950 and about 1965 newly built four-storey residential buildings in many cities of the GDR . They were the first state-owned housing projects in the GDR and were still built using the brick-on-brick construction or large-format blocks ( e.g. Q3A construction ) and not from industrially manufactured prefabricated parts. The external distinguishing feature to prefabricated buildings, which were built later, is the lower storey height of four floors ( prefabricated construction : usually five, less often six) and the pointed roof (prefabricated construction: flat roof ). However, old new buildings were already erected as apartment blocks with several staircases (similar to the later prefabricated buildings).

The term is used to distinguish between old buildings (erected before 1949) and new buildings (in the GDR, apartment blocks in prefabricated construction after 1965). Some of the old new housing estates were also built by workers' housing associations .

Until the start of the prefabricated building program around 1970, these apartments were considered new apartments. The residential buildings from the Weimar and Nazi era (e.g. Rundling in Leipzig) were called old new buildings .
