History and description
The entire workers' houses complex includes houses on the eastern edge of Darmstadt that are unique in terms of their architectural history.
Workers' houses at Erbacher Strasse 138, 140 and 142
In 1908 the workers' houses at Erbacher Strasse 138, 140 and 142 were built for an exhibition on Mathildenhöhe . As part of the major Hessian state exhibition for fine and applied arts, the organizers also designed an exhibition for “small apartment art ” with a total of six single-family and semi-detached houses.
The “model workers' houses” were designed by well-known architects such as Georg Metzendorf , Joseph Maria Olbrich , Heinrich Walbe and Arthur Wienkoop . These buildings were demolished after the exhibition ended. Three of these workers' houses were moved to Erbacher Strasse.
