Dortmund settlement reflects evolution of modern housing
The Hombrucher settlement in Dortmund, located on Hohe Braukstraße, illustrates the transformation of former worker housing into highly sought-after modern real estate. Originally constructed between 1949 and 1956, the settlement consisted of 94 simple, functional houses designed to accommodate two families each.
Over time, many of these properties have been expanded and adapted to meet contemporary living standards. While the houses often maintain a similar exterior appearance—characterized by simple layouts and slate-clad upper floors—the interiors and rear extensions have changed significantly. This evolution has turned the area into a desirable location due to its space, community atmosphere, and setting.
