Workers´ accommodations (today August-Meier-Settlement)

1937 1939

Former workers´accommodation, diagonal view


(Disparate attribution to Albert Speer or Heinrich Wallraff and Max Timme) Immediately before the beginning of the war the architect (respectively the architects) uilt a settlement for the workers of the huge building site of the nearby buildings of the Nazi party rally grounds. The buildings for the accommodation of the workers are long one storey houses with high framework gables. They were built in a row with long connecting corridors. This style imbued with tradition (which the monumental buildings in the Zeppelin grounds are completely lacking) is proportioned in an excellent way. The flight of gables and the construction volume remind of Low German rows of farm houses (see photo 4, compared to Jork in Altes Land). Non-residential buildings complete the group of enclosed buildings. Dr. Pablo de la Riestra

Location: Nuremberg, Regensburger Straße 368-392

Design: Speer, Albert
