The Ziegelklinge settlement in the south of Stuttgart is a housing estate in the Bauhaus style or in the style of New Objectivity or New Building . It is located on the outskirts of the Südheim district and is the fourth Bauhaus settlement in Stuttgart after the Weißenhofsiedlung , the Wallmer settlement and the island settlement and is now also a cultural monument in its entirety under monument protection .

history

The Ziegelklinge settlement, named after the neighboring brook Ziegelklinge , was built in 1927 and 1928 by the building department of the City of Stuttgart according to the plans of the local architect Albert Schieber (1875-1946) and finally completed in 1929. Originally it was a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients , popularly known derisively cough mountain or cough castle named because the the edge of the Deer Park and in the fresh air swath of Nesenbach valley located area was estimated in the 1920s for its good air.

Because the concept didn't work, the buildings were later converted into a single dormitory , and are now open to all walks of life. Today the settlement belongs to the housing cooperative Stuttgarter Wohnungs- und Städtebaugesellschaft mbH , SWSG for short , which it extensively renovated in the years 2016 to 2018 in accordance with the requirements of the monument authority of the city of Stuttgart - according to the historical original condition.

description

In detail, the Ziegelklinge settlement consists of five three-storey flat - roof building blocks in a row construction , each consisting of four to six individual buildings and separated from one another by extensive communal green spaces. There is also a playground. The parallel alignment of the rows of houses, in combination with the pronounced south-facing slope on the so-called Heslacher Wall, guarantees all apartments optimal access to light, air and sun and was considered particularly modern at the time. On the top floor of each of the 100 square meter apartments there was a loggia designed as a hospital room , on which the patients were supposed to soak up the air and sun. The other two floors were originally used by relatives, meaning that the sick were to be housed close to their families.

The total of 26 terraced houses, plus a free-standing and slightly lower auxiliary building, are distributed over two streets as follows:

  • Sperlingstraße 18 (adjoining building)
  • Sperlingstrasse 20, 22, 24 and 26
  • Sperlingstrasse 28, 30, 32 and 34
  • Sperlingstrasse 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46
  • Sandweg 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12
  • Sandweg 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24

However, the Ziegelklinge settlement does not yet comply with the principles of new building in every detail. Although the layouts and proportions, the balconies on the upper floor and the design of details such as railings are completely kept in this style, in return, lattice windows with shutters were installed.
