Großsiedlung Siemensstadt, Modernist housing estate in Charlottenburg-Nord, Germany.

The residential complex features numerous multi-story apartment buildings with clean lines, functional design elements, and large windows optimizing natural light throughout the structures.

Six prominent architects, including Walter Gropius and Hans Scharoun, collaborated between 1929 and 1931 to create 1,379 apartments for workers at the nearby Siemens factory.

The settlement stands as part of the Berlin Modernism Housing Estates, receiving UNESCO World Heritage status in 2008 for its contribution to 20th-century architecture.

The residential area maintains its original purpose with occupied apartments, while information columns provide details about the different architectural sections throughout the complex.

Each architect implemented distinct design features, such as Scharoun's maritime-inspired circular windows and Häring's organically shaped balconies with warm building materials.
