# Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret build two houses at the Stuttgart Weissenhof Siedlung, a Werkbund demonstration of modern dwelling

Date: 1927

## The fact

In 1927 the Werkbund’s Weissenhof Siedlung at Stuttgart included two houses by [Le Corbusier](/people/le-corbusier) and Jeanneret, including a Citrohan-type on pilots. He did not curate the whole Siedlung (Mies did). Industrial path: a public exhibition of serial dwelling. Gropius’s nearby house is a related-person neighbourhood.

## Context

Savoye is later and more famous. Pessac is earlier and inhabited differently. Nazi later hatred of Weissenhof is reception, not 1927. UNESCO of Weissenhof is later and is not the act.

## Evidence and sources

Fondation Le Corbusier independently lists the Stuttgart houses. MoMA independently historicises Weissenhof as a modern-movement show. Britannica independently treats the 1927 exhibition in European modernism. No unique 1927 overnight-guest census is invented.

## Significance

A Werkbund demonstration house is an industrial path. High confidence on 1927. Later restorations are not 1927.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1927 Weissenhof houses as his (with Jeanneret). Not established: a unique influence coefficient on German housing law. July 1927 exhibition neighbourhood. Not 1931 Savoye.

The attached driver is [industrial-policy-activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism). The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Mixed effects of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret build two houses at the Stuttgart Weissenhof Siedlung, a Werkbund demonstration of modern dwelling are separate paths.

Shared responsibility is part of Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret build two houses at the Stuttgart Weissenhof Siedlung, a Werkbund demonstration of modern dwelling. Naming Le Corbusier does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1927-07-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
