Webersiedlung Engelbleck

Webersiedlung Engelbleck is a residential complex in Mönchengladbach containing about 110 two-story double houses built in three construction phases between 1927 and 1929. The homes stretch across several streets including Weberstraße, Spinnerstraße, Eupener Straße, and Rauherstraße, forming a connected neighborhood.

The settlement was built during the Weimar Republic as social housing for workers. Construction took place from 1927 to 1929 and documents the housing policy of that period.

This settlement reveals how working-class residents lived and arranged their homes in the early 20th century. It stands as the only surviving example of its kind in Mönchengladbach and shows the everyday reality of that era.

The neighborhood can be explored on foot with all houses visible from the streets. Visitors can walk through the different streets at leisure to observe the architecture and layout of the homes.

Residents have developed a tradition of elaborate Christmas decorations that began more than 30 years ago with a Saint Nicholas celebration at Weber Square. This yearly embellishment of the street has grown into a local event that brings the community together.
