Spiegelkolonie, Worker housing complex in Waldhof district, Mannheim, Germany
The Spiegelkolonie consists of residential buildings characterized by a two-story plastered construction with a saddle roof and wooden galleries at the rear.
Built in 1852, the settlement housed French workers from the Saint Gobain mirror factory, making it the earliest worker housing development in Mannheim.
The settlement included facilities such as kindergarten, school, Catholic and Protestant churches, and a medical station for its French-speaking community.
Each residence features garden spaces, separate entrances from front and back, and access to modern amenities including electricity and water systems.
Soccer coach Sepp Herberger was born in 1897 at house number 171 in the Spiegelkolonie, where his father worked at the mirror manufacturing plant.
