The Kaiser & Weippert office was located in the Gerberstr. 28 in Stuttgart, property of Weippert's father Karl. The community of architects mainly built villas and country houses in the Freudenstadt districtand in Stuttgart. Their collaboration ended with the death of Kaiser as a result of a car accident. Weippert continued the office under both names until 1917.

Architecture characteristics

In the villa buildings by Kaiser & Weippert, the homeland style is combined with the characteristics of British and North American reform architecture . A consistent example of New Building is Weippert's so-called Mörike-Gymnasium in Stuttgart, a two-wing complex built on a narrow street into the hillside with a flat staircase projection in the southwest corner. The steel frame construction is faced with light yellow bricks. On the other hand, Weippert's buildings from the second half of the 1930s can be assigned to the South German Heimatstil.
