With the flat settlement between Nauplia- / Soyerhof- and Rotbuchenstraße the development of Neuharlaching began in 1928 . The settlement is a listed building (E-1-62-000-38) under ensemble protection .

history

Based on a competition held in 1927, the Gemeinnützige Wohnungsfürsorge AG Munich planned a large housing estate similar to a garden city on the heights east of Harlaching in 1928 under the artistic direction of the architects Lechner & Norkauer and Eugen Dreisch and Wilhelm Scherer . The settlement area could be considered an ideal location: With the Perlacher Forest behind, it faces the city in a visual connection; A tram line has been set up to provide traffic connections to the city. When the world economic crisis brought building activity to a standstill in 1930, however, only less than half of the planned buildings were built; In particular, the community facilities that were intended to be necessary were missing - and are still missing. But even as a fragment, the large estate is a telling testimony to the special, artistic and social intentions of its creators. Obviously, different needs and levels of living space should be offered here in community: modest demands in compact, but enclosed around large courtyards or as long lines, shielding the lines from the tangential traffic; high demands in similar single-family houses in a preferred location above the slope; including multi-family houses in between.

The structure of the blocks and lines is designed in such a way that there are also points of interest and guidelines in terms of urban planning. The abundant green is basically a general one, only the plots of the single-family houses are separated by fences. The humble art of building is part of the planning; This also applies to the integrated Hochvogelplatz, the fountain of which Andreas Lechner was supposed to serve as an identification feature. Overall, the settlement differs through its open composition, through the majority of its building types, from the tightly grouped complexes of purely social housing as well as from the loose groupings of upscale, garden-urban villa districts. Instead of isolation on the one hand and condensation on the other hand, she seeks to achieve coexistence, also in a social sense. This claim is also documented with the contemporary programmatic catchphrase "Flachsiedlung". Unfortunately, demolitions and new buildings in the row of single-family houses have disrupted and reduced the ensemble in this area.
