Sennestadt, Modernist housing estate in Bielefeld, Germany.
Description

History
The district was built during the 1950s as a planned settlement to house people displaced by war and seeking refuge. Urban planner Hans Bernhard Reichow designed the layout according to modern housing ideals of that period.
