history

In 1958, the company earned Brown the right of first refusal for future construction area on the southern slope of the Altkönig next to today's forest pool. The estate was planned in 1968 and 1969 by the Kramer architects together with Braun's chief designer Dieter Rams . The settlement was built from 1972 to 1974. In the center of the settlement are grouped bungalows arranged in terraces . Two-storey terraced houses were built on the southern edge of the settlement, and multi-family houses in multi-storey buildings in the north. Rams himself lives in one of the bungalows. The writer Peter Handke lived in the settlement in the 1970s. It is the setting for his story “ The Left Handed Woman ” (the film of the same name, however, is set in the south of France). In 2005 the development plan was canceled for legal reasons. In order to control structural changes, the city has been trying to be classified as a cultural monument since 2014 .

At the end of July 2016, the chief curator Dr. Dieter Griesbach-Maisant, the settlement as a whole and the Rams double bungalow as a single monument should be listed as a historical monument.
