In the cover were eight cards about the Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart. The Weissenhof Estate is a housing estate consisting of twenty-one buildings. It was built for the Deutscher Werkbund exhibition in 1927 and was an international showcase of the International style of modern architecture. Seventeen architects were involved in the design of the buildings including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius. Because of bombing damage during World War II only eleven buildings survived until today. As a part of the Architectural Work of Le Corbusier are two buildings in the Weissenhof Estate (I think the third card shows one of them) since 2016 on the UNESCO World Heritage List and together with the other Werkbund Estates in Europa got the entire Weissenhof Estate also the European Heritage Label in 2019.
Thank You very much Marcel!
