The Hufeisensiedlung (“Horseshoe Estate”) is a housing estate in Berlin, built in 1925–33. It was designed by architect Bruno Taut, municipal planning head and co-architect Martin Wagner, garden architect Leberecht Migge and Neukölln gardens director Ottokar Wagler. In 1986 the ensemble was placed under German heritage protection. On 7 July 2008 it was inscribed as one of six estates that constitute the Berlin Modernism Housing Estates World Heritage Site
Germans be putting communist-type blocks in a horseshoe and calling it high quality.
This looks like the perfect filming location for The Innocents 2.
