A walk through the Weissenhof Estate reveals the diverse ideas behind the houses built in 1927 and explains their significant role in architectural history. A wayfinding system guides visitors through the estate, providing information about the privately owned houses that are therefore not open to the public. Only the double house by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret can be visited as a museum. The floor plans from the 1927 book "Building and Living" form the basis for the information displayed on the wayfinding system's steles. Ten of the original 33 houses were destroyed during and after the war and replaced with new buildings.

The Büsnau meadow valley is a last remaining piece of nature on the outskirts of the city. It was designated a nature reserve as early as 1989. The area is characterized by meadows, streams, ponds, reeds, and hedgerows. At least 300 plant species and over 150 bird species have been recorded within the protected area.

This was my third visit to the museum. This time, I enjoyed an excellent guided tour led by a very friendly young woman—I believe she's an art historian. I'll double-check this and correct myself if necessary. She provided a wealth of detailed information about the period and, of course, the museum itself. The tour lasted about an hour and a half, and the time flew by. Highly recommended!

What's special about this museum is that the exhibition brings to life the revolutionary ideas that were at odds with the zeitgeist of the time. The crowning glory, of course, is the LeCorbusier House, restored to its original condition. I recognize his formal language in many of today's modern buildings.
