Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
The Ernst-Neufert-Haus (sometimes also known as the Meisterbau) is a massive, brown clinker-clad residential building in Darmstadt, Hesse, designed by Ernst Neufert. It was built in 1955 as the "Script error: No such module "Lang"." (single men's hostel) and was part of the 'Script error: No such module "Lang".' (Master Builder's) programme to give Darmstadt, which had lost much of its historical substance in World War II to bombing, a new architectural emphasis.[1]
While the attempt to guide the newly burgeoning city into a stylistic direction failed, and the small rooms of Neufert's building were later redesigned to more typical apartments, the building is considered a prime example of his style, and is now heritage protected.[2] A restaurant occupies part of the lower floor, reached via a large freestanding staircase on the western side.[1]
