Short description

The Ensemble Eigen Heim in Fürth is one of the early ventures influenced by the garden city movement. The older part was built by the Fürth architects Peringer & Rogler in the area of ​​Vacher Strasse, Heimgartenstrasse and Feldstrasse in 1910/1911. The semi-detached houses with half-timbered motifs correspond to the house types that were also characteristic in other garden cities before the First World War .

Above (to the west) of this part of the settlement, the settlement was continued after the First World War. The architects of the Nuremberg garden city Lehr & Leubert planned and built here. From 1919 to 1922 more strictly designed terraced house groups were built on Weingartenstrasse and Damaschkestrasse for economic reasons, which nevertheless attempted to create a diversified urban structure with an archway motif and square-like widenings.

E-5-63-000-3 Ensemble own home

The Eigenes Heim ensemble consists of two historical parts, one of the oldest on Vacher and Heimgartenstrasse and the more recent one on Damaschke and Weinbergstrasse.

This settlement activity began with the establishment of a building cooperative Eigenes Heim on October 22, 1909, which set itself the task of building, acquiring and looking after small apartments. The own home in Fürth is therefore one of the early undertakings influenced by the garden city movement, as it came into being one year after the Nuremberg Garden City was founded and at the same time as its first plans. The older part was built by the Fürth architects Peringer & Rogler in the area of ​​Vacher Strasse, Heimgartenstrasse and Feldstrasse in 1910/1911. These semi-detached houses with half-timbered motifs, which are mostly picturesque and varied, correspond to the house types that were also characteristic in the garden cities at the beginning of the garden city movement before the First World War. The characteristic street name of Heimgartenstrasse, named in 1909, also points to the relationship between a small house unit (= home) and garden, which is opposed to the tenement houses as healthy living.

Above this part of the settlement on the Schwand, the settlement was continued after the First World War. The architects of the Nuremberg garden city Lehr & Leubert planned and built here. Now (1919–1922), for economic reasons, more strictly designed terraced house groups were built on Weingartenstrasse and Damaschkestrasse. The development on the east side of Damaschkestrasse was completed in 1914. Despite the more objective design, the architects succeeded in creating a diversified urban area with an archway motif and square-like widenings. The renaming of the former Schwandstrasse to Damaschkestrasse in 1925, in memory of the land reformer Adolf Damaschke (1865–1935), also expresses the reform intentions of this settlement. As usual with these settlements in front of the city, a consumer building and a restaurant were not forgotten.
