Weißenhofsiedlung was built in record time in 1927 as part of the Werkbund exhibtion about new forms of building. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was responsible for the project for which 16 renowned architects (among them Le Corbusier with Pierre Jeanneret, Mart Stam, Peter Behrens, Walter Gropius, Max and Bruno Taut, J.J.P.Oud, Hans Scharoun and Mies v.d.Rohe himself) designed houses. Of the original 21 houses 11 are left, most of the others were destroyed in WWII bombing raids, among them the ones by Gropius and Taut. But the war thankfully also stopped Nazi plans to demolish all houses of what they called "Araberdorf" (Arab village). In 1958 Weißenhofsiedlung got protected status, in 2016 the Le Corbusier buildings were awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wei%C3%9Fenhofsiedlung vielfaltdermoderne.de/en/stuttgart-scharoun-house-weissenhof
