Gartenstadt Falkenberg, Garden city in Bohnsdorf, Berlin, Germany
The residential complex spans 4.4 hectares and contains 128 housing units arranged in rows with individual gardens throughout the development.
The Berlin construction cooperative commissioned architect Bruno Taut in 1912 to develop the project on 75 hectares in southeast Berlin.
The development incorporated gardens of up to 600 square meters per residence to promote food self-sufficiency and strengthen community bonds.
The estate features two-story houses connected to essential utilities including gas, water, and electricity, with direct access to transportation.
Each house received specific exterior colors, leading to the German nickname Tuschkastensiedlung, meaning Paint Box Settlement.
