|
In that part of Berlin known as Britz, lying south of the Teltow Canal in the Neukölln district, visitors can find the "Horseshoe Development" designed by Bruno Taut and Martin Wagner, one of Berlin's best-known large housing developments dating from the 1920s. There are 1,024 flats in all, centered on those built in 1924-27 around the pool on Louise-Reuter-Ring. Extensions to the east and south were added in the 1930s and 1950s, respectively.
