Weiße Stadt, Modernist housing estate in Reinickendorf, Germany
The Weiße Stadt complex features white-plastered buildings with colored accents on doors, window frames, and rainwater pipes across 1,268 residential units.
Between 1928 and 1931, architects Otto Rudolf Salvisberg, Bruno Ahrends, and Wilhelm Büning designed this estate to address Berlin's housing shortage.
The estate incorporates green spaces and communal areas within its linear block arrangement, reflecting the social principles of 1920s German architecture.
The residential complex includes central heating, shops, kindergarten facilities, and a combined heat power plant on Aroser Allee for resident needs.
The Bridges House on Aroser Allee stands as the central architectural element, marking the entrance to this UNESCO World Heritage site.
