Gartenstadt Falkenberg
[Garden City Falkenberg]
Bruno Taut got a contract in 1912 from the "Berlin construction and housing cooperative 1892" to develop a construction plan for a 75 hectare site in the south-east of Berlin (Treptow district-Köpenick). His overall plan for the garden city at Falkenberg scheduled about 1500 homes for about 7000 residents. It should string together houses with two-storied rows which are staggered in the rhythm of the rising topography. Each house should have its own colour and should bear reference to the garden and to the public spaces.

Rathaus Köpenick
[City Hall Köpenick]
The main building was created from 1901 to 1904 according to plans by Hugo Kinzer and Hans Schutte and was rebuilt and expanded several times. The Köpenick City Hall became famous in 1906 when the unemployed shoemaker William Vogt, dressed in an officer's uniform which he bought in a secondhand market, arrested officials from the city and extorted from them ample amounts from the city treasury. Although he was arrested later, the play "The Captain from Koepenick" by Carl Zuckmayer made him famous as a typical Berliner.
