Luisenhof-Siedlung, Residential complex in Reinickendorf, Germany.
Luisenhof-Siedlung is a residential complex of two-story row houses arranged along Luisenweg and Freiheitweg streets, forming a connected neighborhood. The individual properties feature gardens and outbuildings that originally supported small-scale farming and self-sufficiency.
The settlement was built between 1919 and 1920 by architect Georg Heyer on land acquired from the Hasser family estate. It emerged as part of the residential building movement in Reinickendorf during the Weimar period.
Memorial stones at Luisenweg 10 honor the Marcuse family members who were deported during World War II. These plaques serve as reminders that shape how residents experience and remember the neighborhood today.
The area is best explored on foot to appreciate the architecture and layout of the individual homes. Street access is open, allowing you to see the neighborhood structure without barriers.
The settlement sustained minimal damage during World War II and retains its original 1920s architecture today. This rare preservation makes it an uncommon example of intact residential buildings from that era in Berlin.
