Althoffblock, Residential architectural ensemble in Innenstadt-West, Germany
The Althoffblock features four-story residential buildings arranged around large internal courtyards with green spaces, playgrounds, and lawns covering several thousand square meters.
Construction of the Althoffblock began in 1914 through the Spar- und Bauverein Dortmund cooperative, which managed approximately 12,000 apartments across Dortmund by 2007.
The residential complex maintains individual garden designs by residents in its courtyards, reflecting a strong community involvement in the maintenance of shared spaces.
Most apartments measure between 45 and 75 square meters, with vehicle access restricted to maintenance purposes and several gardens completely inaccessible by car.
The complex includes seven blocks of buildings arranged in a cross pattern formed by Althoffstrasse and Roseggerstrasse, with gated entrances separating it from busier streets.
