HELLERAU WAS ONE OF THE FIRST SO CALLED EUROPEAN GARDEN CITIES AND WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1909 AND 1939. SOME VERY FAMOUS ARCHITECTS HAVE CAME TOGETHER THERE TO REALIZE A NEW TYP OF ARCHITECTURE BASED ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF BAUHAUS. THE GARDEN CITY SHOULD OFFER A CHEAP AND FUNCTIONAL LIVING FOR THE FAMILIES OF WORKERS OF THE NEARBY FACOTORIES. NOWERDAYS THIS LIVING AREA IS ALWAYS VERY POPULAR.
