Flusspferdhofsiedlung, Heritage monument in Alt-Hohenschönhausen, Berlin, Germany
The residential complex consists of three parallel four-story buildings with flat roofs arranged in a symmetrical layout between Simon-Bolivar-Straße and Goeckestraße.
Architects Paul Mebes and Paul Emmerich designed this residential settlement between 1932 and 1934 for the Gewobag housing association, initially planning 1554 apartments.
Two limestone horse sculptures by Hans Mettel stand near a water basin in the courtyard, giving the settlement its name Flusspferdhofsiedlung.
The complex features communal areas with children's playgrounds, wooden benches, trees, lawns, and a fountain that operates at scheduled times during weekdays.
The building exteriors display narrow windows revealing stairwells, while gallery access houses in the courtyard area facilitate communication between residents.
