Schneeweiderhof

The residential complex features two and three-story buildings constructed with basalt quarry stone, forming a cohesive architectural ensemble in Rhineland-Palatinate.

Between 1922 and 1924, architects Heinrich Mattar and Eduard Scheler from Cologne designed this settlement to house workers from the local quarry industry.

The buildings demonstrate the regional Heimatstil architecture, incorporating elements that represent the connection between industrial development and residential needs.

The settlement includes functional spaces such as courtyards and goat stables, which were essential components for supporting the daily activities of quarry workers.

The structures maintain their original basalt stone construction, reflecting the direct use of local materials from the quarries where residents worked.
