    ... planned by Gagfah in cooperation with the so-called Race and Settlement Main Office and carried out in 1938-39. The design planning comes from the technical director of Gagfah, Hans Gerlach.

    Apartment types and sizes were based on the rank of the future residents: The lower ranks of the SS were accommodated in the multi-storey apartments with a maximum apartment size of 2½ rooms, which were arranged on Argentinische Allee. To the north of an L-shaped apartment block with shop fittings, a curved driveway, which is lined with alternating semi-detached and terraced houses, leads to the planned community building, which will house sports facilities, camaraderie and party rooms and a day nursery, but also serve as a student residence. The few individual houses that were intended for the higher and highest ranks of the Berlin SS were in the southwest and northeast of the complex (...)

      Quermatenweg, which creates the east-west connection between Fischerhüttenstrasse and Onkel-Tom-Strasse, is largely only built on on the south side; in the north there is extensive forest area as far as the Krummen Lanke. In the eastern section, the semi-detached houses of the Gagfah estate, which stand on elevated terrain with the eaves facing the street, form the perimeter development. In the further course of the Quermatenweg, after a short stretch of undeveloped road, you come to the northern part of the former "SS-Kameradschaftssiedlung", today's Krumme Lanke forest settlement. Even at first glance, it becomes clear that you are dealing with a special settlement plan: Although the saddle-roofed small house is a single, semi-detached or terraced house, the arrangement is relaxed; the buildings are generously set into the landscape with high, dense pine vegetation.

        GAGFAH, owned by Fortress Investment Group LLC since summer 2004, has the word “non-profit” in its name. However, that does not prevent her from giving notice to a 94-year-old tenant.

        Dora Dick has lived in the Krumme Lanke forest settlement in Zehlendorf since 1946, built from 1937 to 1939 by GAGFAH as an “SS comradeship settlement”. After the end of the war, the approximately 700 apartments were largely empty because the residents had fled. By order of the Allies, the houses were reserved for victims of Nazi terror. Prisoners from the concentration camps and prisons, resistance fighters, bombed out opponents of the Nazi regime, political emigrants and Jewish illegals who had survived the Holocaust moved in here - including Dora Dick. In 1937 she emigrated to England via Prague, where she co-founded the “Free German League of Culture in Great Britain” with Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kerr, Stefan Zweig and other anti-fascists
