Weissenhof Museum, Architectural museum in Stuttgart, Germany
The Weissenhof Museum displays buildings constructed in 1927 to show new ideas about housing and building design. The collection includes several preserved houses and exhibitions about the modern building principles of that era.
The buildings were created in 1927 as part of a national exhibition where renowned architects from several countries designed experimental houses. The project aimed to show what modern building and living could look like.
The houses here reflect how architects imagined modern living should be different, with new ideas about comfort and how families could live better. You can walk through actual rooms to see how these designs were meant for everyday people and their daily routines.
The museum is located on a hillside and is accessible on foot, though some paths are steep. Comfortable shoes are recommended, and you should allow time to walk between the different houses.
Some of the original buildings were designed by internationally renowned architects, making this a place where you can actually see how some of the earliest modern houses were built. Being able to explore these houses from the inside is relatively uncommon.
