The horseshoe settlement was built between 1925 and 1933 and is considered a pioneering achievement of social housing and modern urban development.

The whole settlement has an interesting language of forms and colors. It is worthwhile to explore the whole settlement once.

The settlement was added to 2008 with five other settlements of Berlin Modernism in the list of UNESCO World Heritage.

The initiative of the residents 'Horseshoe Against Right' is also worthy of praise

The settlement was rightly included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites 🔝

Closely linked to the heart of Berlin, the development combines a unique architectural style with the social ideal of a terraced garden home for everyone. Hufeisen is the German term for horseshoe, which describes the shape of the impressively curved 350-meter long structure which gave name to the project. It consists of 25 housing units joined together around a pond that dates back to the ice age. The central building structure is surrounded by townhouses and embedded in a suburb that feels urban and rural at the same time.[citation needed]

The facades of the terraced houses are painted in dark red, yellow ochre and - especially at the end of a terraced row – in deep blue or gleaming white. Doors and windows and individual building elements of the blocks of flats like loggias, stairwells or low-ceilinged attic floors are painted to contrast clearly with the facades. The front and rear sections are often designed in separate colour combinations. Further contrasts in material and colour are created by the use of bright red and yellow clinker bricks in the area of the chimneys, the entrances and the base of the walls. Perhaps the most striking design feature is the construction and colour of the entrance doors.
