Die Arbeiter-Wohnhäuser in ihrer baulichen Anlage und Ausführung : sowie die Anlage von Arbeiter-Kolonien
A late nineteenth-century German architectural manual by Ludwig Klasen, published in Leipzig in 1879 by K. Scholtze, on workers' dwellings and the layout of workers' colonies. Its pictures are plain line-drawn elevations and floor plans with dimensions in metres, showing small two-room cottages with a Stube, Küche, Kammer and central stair. A designer might take from them the economical compact plan and the simple rhythm of shuttered windows and doors on a pitched-roof row house.
