Marines settlement (Berlin)
The marine settlement in the Berlin district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf was built between 1938 and 1943 according to plans by the architect Rudolf Kühn . The client was the Gemeinnützige GmbH for the creation of housing for members of the Reich .
The residential buildings for senior naval officers had become necessary after the National Socialists had enormously enlarged the navy before the Second World War . The settlement road was given the obvious name Marinesteig on March 29, 1939 . Until the end of the war, the settlement was almost exclusively reserved for captains and staff officers.
After the Second World War, the settlement, which lies above the south bank of the Schlachtensee , developed into a popular residential area. The most prominent resident was the governing mayor and later Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt in the house at Marinesteig No. 14.
The marine settlement is a listed building : the state conservators see it as "a remarkable complex of high conceptual value". Some buildings were renovated in the years 2000–2005.
