Siedlung Ziegelklinge, Bauhaus residential complex in Stuttgart, Germany
Siedlung Ziegelklinge is a residential complex with five three-story buildings featuring flat roofs, arranged in rows and separated by shared green spaces. The 26 row houses sit along Sperlingstrasse and Sandweg, with each unit oriented toward the south to receive natural light.
Stuttgart's city building department constructed this settlement between 1927 and 1928 following architect Albert Schieber's designs. The project originated as a sanatorium intended to treat tuberculosis patients.
The settlement was a Bauhaus experiment to show how people could live in a modern and practical way. The open loggias reflect the idea that fresh air and light should be part of daily living.
The buildings are easy to access on foot with walkable and navigable streets throughout. The south-facing orientation and open areas between the houses provide plenty of brightness and good air flow, especially during warmer months.
Each apartment features an open loggia area on the top floor, originally designed to allow fresh mountain air from Nesenbach Valley to flow through. These specially designed spaces show how healing was built into the architecture for patients.
