Weissenhof Settlement; Stuttgart, Germany :: Modernist Abroad
The Weissenhof housing colony was erected for a 1927 Deutscher Werkbund exhibition by the City of Stuttgart, directed by Mies van der Rohe. Its 21 buildings by 17 architects, including Le Corbusier and J.J.P. Oud, were a showcase of the International Style.
Phillip Johnson, who visited the site in 1929 and selected it for MoMA’s 1932 Modern Architecture show, called it “a little suburb made by all the famous modern architects.” The buildings, intended for workers’ housing, consisted of terraced and detached houses and apartment buildings. Prefabrication made it possible to erect of all the buildings in just five months.
Weißenhofsiedlung Stuttgart
Zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten Stuttgarts mit internationaler Bedeutung gehört die Weißenhofsiedlung. 1927 in nur wenigen Monaten zur Werkbundausstellung Die Wohnung errichtet ist die Architektur in vielen Dingen bis heute richtungsweisend geblieben. Leider wurden im II. Weltkrieg einige Gebäude im Mittelbereich der Siedlung zerstört und auch sogar noch welche in den 50er Jahren abgerissen. Trotzdem sind die erhaltenen Gebäude sehr eindrucksvoll und zum Glück teilweise sogar wieder in den Ursprungszustand zurückversetzt worden.
Die Weissenhofsiedlung / RE-PORT 01
Auf dem Weißenhof im Stuttgarter Norden hat das Who’s Who der Klassischen Moderne gebaut: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Hans Scharoun, Walter Gropius und viele andere. Über die wechselvolle Geschichte der Siedlung und ihr gutes Ende haben wir mit Karin Kirsch gesprochen. Wir haben sie im Garten des Weißenhofmuseums im Doppelhaus von Le Corbusier getroffen. Sie ist Autorin der umfangreichsten Monographie über die Weißenhofsiedlung. Seit Jahrzehnten erforscht sie deren Geschichte und ist heute fast so etwas wie ein wandelndes Lexikon. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen erarbeitete sie die erste große Ausstellung über die Weißenhofsiedlung, die an über 20 Orten auf der ganzen Welt gezeigt wurde.

STREAMING:
In the small town of Löbau in Saxony, tucked away behind a closed-down factory, lies one of the most striking houses of architectural modernism, the Schminke house. It was designed and built by the architect Hans Scharoun (1893-1975) from 1930 till 1933 for the noodle manufacturer Fritz Schminke, his wife Charlotte und their children.
The architect and the couple who commissioned him created a world class architectural monument shortly before the nazi years began. It's a house full of light and open spaces, a common man's Sans Souci as the architectural writer Adolf Behne put it in 1933.
The people in the town called the house behind Schminke's noodle factory the noodle steamship. With its portholes, the bridge and the exterior stairways, it does justice to this name. Hans Scharoun, who came from Bremerhaven, actually took some of his ideas from shipbuilding. And in a metaphorical sense he understood the house as a ship of life for the whole family.
Your life's new ship - toot, toot, toot - is under steam. It will serve you well in the coming cheerful battle.
wrote Scharoun in the Summer of 1933 in the family's guest book. The new building should be a house without luxuries, the Schminkes want a house which is easy to run, with an abundance of light and comfortable in all weathers.
Notwithstanding the functionality throughout the house, the building goes way beyond the cubic modernism of the twenties. Scharoun didn't build with a box of ready-mades. He perceived the house as a mediator between a human being and the nature surrounding him. At the same time he exercised all the freedoms of an architect and the end result is a multi-layered work of art, a masterpiece of organic building.
The film tells the story of a modern house, which seems to have fallen outside of its time. Klaus Kürvers, an historian of architecture, leads the viewer through the house, while Helga Zumpfe, the youngest daughter of the Schminkes, and Ello Hirschfeld, who as a Jewish girl and foster child survived the Nazis here, tell us how the noodle steamship, the cheerful place to live in, meant carefree childhood days for them. Achim Wendschuh, an architect and close colleague of Hans Scharoun, explains the principles of the undertaking. In this way the film combines architecture with what a house can mean for its inhabitants.
The house that I loved most, was bulit for the industrialist Schminke in Löbau in Saxony. - Hans Scharoun, in the fifties of 20th Century
