Masters settlement

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Master settlement of the Gerresheimer Glashütte

The listed Meistersiedlung of the Gerresheimer Glashütte is located at Bottle Street 2-12, Heckteich Street 30-54, Höherhof Street 25-51, Paulinen Street 1-7 and 2-20 in the Gerresheim district of Düsseldorf . The settlement was built in 1906 according to plans by W. Jacobi in the style of homeland security architecture as an example of the "more individually designed garden city colony". This was designed as a garden city based on the English model , such as the Margarethenhöhe Krupp settlement in Essen or Hellerau in Dresden: "The English garden city colonies were exemplary for the settlement". The complex consists of one to two-storey buildings with white plastered surfaces, brickwork and timber framework. A path leads from Paulinenstraße through an archway to the garden parcels of the houses.
