Children's Village "Marienpflege" in Ellwangen
The planning of the children's village was based on a clearly defined educational concept: 250 children were grouped together in large groups. The aim was to create family-like communities, each living in its own house. Within this house, a "family" was not meant to isolate itself, but rather to form the larger community of the village together with its neighbors. Connected living arrangements are more conducive to community building than widely scattered individual houses. Therefore, semi-detached houses were built, designed in such a way that the complex could be expanded in the same manner.
