Tour 3

The modern metropolis reimagined: experience the state capital Stuttgart and its famous Weissenhof estate with the museum in the Le Corbusier house. From here we continue to Ulm, where you can look forward to two examples of modern university architecture with the university and the HfG. In Karlsruhe, take in the Dammerstock housing estate, an impressive example of Walter Gropius' ribbon constructions (Zeilenbauweise). The route can be rounded off in culinary fashion with a visit to the Kreutzenberger winery in Kindenheim.
