Ketteler settlement
A Ketteler settlement is a housing estate in various places in Germany that was named after the Catholic bishop Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler (1811–1877). The settlements mainly consist of one and two-family houses and were built with a high proportion of personal contributions, especially after the Second World War, to alleviate the housing shortage. Associations or cooperatives of the same name were founded in line with Kettler's social ethics to build homes and rented apartments with the aim of creating affordable housing. The construction of the one- and two-family houses was carried out in joint work under the guidance of a few skilled workers for cost reasons.
