Studentendorf Schlachtensee
The Studentendorf Schlachtensee is a landmarked residential complex in the Berlin district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf. The building and garden monument is a testimony to the transition period after the Nazi dictatorship. The Studentendorf Schlachtensee eG cooperative was founded in 2002 to preserve the complex, which was in acute danger at the time (1959-64). Thanks to the cooperative’s many years of commitment, the student village was renovated in several stages and carefully modernized, also from an ecological point of view. In 2020, the cooperative and Berlin architect Winfried Brenne received the German Prize for Monument Protection, the highest award for monument preservation in Germany, presented by the German National Committee for Monument Protection (DNK).
