The White City was built between 1929 and 1931 and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, alongside five other Berlin housing estates. It is also a special examp- le of modernist housing estate construction in Berlin. An open cell construction, cubic structures with flat roofs and bright white façades made the estate a symbol of „Neues Bauen“ even in its day.

The architect Bruno Ahrendts was in charge of the realisa- tion of the building. His buildings along Aroser Allee form a closed, smooth front that ends in two protruding tower buildings. They mark the southern end of the estate. Brick- framed front doors, blue loggias, stairwell windows and roof overhangs as well as brown-yellow windows give the buildings their colour contrasts.

There is a small business area consisting of a pharmacy, a dry cleaner, a pet shop and a small pub in the south of the estate. Towards the north, where the street is bridged by a residential building, there is a bakery. The eastern part sports a building with curved front window that used to house a restaurant. It serves as office space nowadays. The responsible housing association is Deutsche Wohnen AG.
