The Lautertal between Bensheim and Schönberg has been developed since the beginning of the 19th century. Towards the end of the century, a number of historicist, upper-class villas were built, mainly on the north slope, adjacent to the site of the former Guntrum brewery. At the foot of these representative residential buildings, one of the first planned country house settlements was finally built on Bergstrasse in 1908. It is one of the first country house settlements in Germany to be uniformly designed from a practical and artistic point of view and, with its partly older peripheral buildings, it is therefore of particular importance in terms of architecture and the history of the settlement as well as architectural art. | 1908 to 1912 |

| Complete facility at Rodensteinstrasse | Hospitalstrasse 22; Hermannstrasse 23; Neckarstrasse 65, 66; Rodensteinstrasse 66–96, 73–93 | The entire complex, located south-west of the old town, is characterized by a largely uniform development of houses from the last quarter of the 19th century.

The two-storey houses that were built there show the typical style of late classicism . |
