Bornaer Straße 25-31 Chemnitz-Borna/Heinersdorf, Protected residential complex in Chemnitz-Borna, Germany
The Bornaer Straße 25-31 is a residential complex in Chemnitz-Borna with two street-facing buildings, a garden courtyard, and a longer residential block with gallery access in the rear section. The entire site includes multiple entrance points and extends across building numbers 25 to 31.
Construction of the residential complex began in January 1929 during the interwar period when suburban areas expanded to meet growing housing demands. This phase of urban growth fundamentally shaped the development of Chemnitz-Borna at that time.
The residential complex reflects interwar housing culture through its functional design approach and communal courtyard layout. The way residents could move between individual units and shared spaces shows how architects of that era thought people should live together.
The residential site combines individual housing units with communal areas and offers multiple entrance points for visitors and residents. The extended building sections allow for different routes through the complex.
The original garden courtyard contained a central water well that gave the complex its name Brunnenhof. Though the well has deteriorated with time, this feature remains part of the site's identity.
