Landhaus Horn, Art Deco residence in Schwachhausen, Germany.
Landhaus Horn is a residential complex with three- to four-story buildings featuring brick facades arranged in an H-shape that defines the ensemble. The structures connect at ground level, creating one unified layout across the site.
The complex was built in 1930 based on designs by Heinz Stoffregen, who died during construction, with Carl Eeg and Eduard Runge overseeing the work. Following World War II, United States military authorities converted it for soldier housing.
The building was originally designed as a foundation residence to blend housing with community support for older adults. This mission still shapes how the complex functions and is used by people who live there today.
The site is best explored on foot, allowing you to view the buildings and their arrangement from the outside. It sits in a quiet residential neighborhood that is easy to walk through.
The complex was called Hotel Bremen from 1946 to 1952 when the US military repurposed it as lodging for officers and troops. This name change shows how postwar history briefly reshaped the identity of the place.
