The three-part work Deutsche Werkstätten depicts small houses set in various rural settings.
The houses were built in Hellerau in 1934 – a model settlement of wooden houses produced by the "Deutsche Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst."
The series is part of a study of architectural housing estates, which especially in the early twentieth century and also in the aftermath of World War II, were part of progressive, even utopian, social agenda.
The houses depicted are, from left to right:
Holzhaus Musterhaussiedlung, Hellerau, Deutsche Werkstätten, Hellerau, 1934-1937
Ferienhaus, Reinerzau, Deutsche Werkstätten, 1923
Erstes Musterhaus, Hellerau, Werkstätten Hellerau, Architekt Adelbert Niemeyer, 1920
