Mustersiedlung Ramersdorf

Mustersiedlung Ramersdorf is a residential complex built in 1934 as an exhibition project, containing 192 single-family houses displaying 34 different architectural styles. The homes sit among spacious green areas, each with private gardens and a central church structure.

The settlement was constructed in 1934 as part of a German Exhibition under architect Guido Harbers and several colleagues. It was afterward regarded as a model example of residential construction design from that era.

The Gustav-Adolf Church, added in 1935, serves as a social focal point where residents gather for community events and celebrations. The church building shapes the settlement's center and creates a space where shared life comes into view.

The houses are subject to strict monument protection rules, requiring approval for any external changes. Visitors can walk freely through the streets and view the varied architectural styles from outside.

Each house follows detailed design guidelines that precisely specify window divisions, shutters, and roof overhangs. These rules create a coherent settlement despite the 34 different styles, which approach residential design from varying angles.
