Ley settlement

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Robert Ley settlement is a type of settlement that was widespread throughout Germany in the 1930s . It was named after the Reich Organization Leader and Minister Robert Ley . This type of settlement consists of single-family houses surrounded by gardens. The aim was to make workers and miners down-to-earth by adding the rent as a payment for their property, which after a while became their property. Those who let their property go to ruin were removed from the settlement. Ley settlements built in 1934 and 1936 are for example the Alsdorf districts of Begau , Broicher Siedlung and Zopp .
