Bright sunshine accompanied Mr Bienert to the “Flusspferdhofsiedlung” in Berlin-Lichtenberg. He wasn’t here to cool off from the summer temperatures in the fountain but rather to take us on a small exquisite tour around the garden monument. And we wanted to know: who lived here and how did they live here? Who was the architect? And most importantly:
“Tell us, Mr Bienert: How did the ‘Flusspferdhofsiedlung’ get its name?”
Curious? You can also come and see the settlement in person. The “water horses” (Flusspferde) are located in the courtyard between Große-Leege-Straße and Goeckestraße in 13055 Berlin-Lichtenberg.
Do you know any interesting districts or neighbourhoods that Mr Bienert should visit? Do you have any questions that you would like to ask our historian? Then send us an email:
