    The name Weißenhof goes back to the baker Georg Philipp Weiß, who in 1779 established an agricultural business (dairy) on the fallow land. The settlement and the Stuttgart district of Weißenhof are named after him.

    It's very interesting to see the revolutionary housing and building ideas presented in Stuttgart around 100 years ago. The "Grand Tour," which also includes a short walk past other buildings in the ensemble, is worthwhile. Much of what we consider modern or practical living today was already being put into practice by the Werkbund architects back then, and they were far ahead of their time.

    A must-see for art and architecture enthusiasts, and for those who simply want to experience the contemporary history of the 1920s in a tangible way. Curiously, many of the building techniques pioneered at that time were forgotten for decades. It's astonishing how buildings that are considered modern today were actually built in this form a hundred years ago.
