Germany gains 41st UNESCO World Heritage Site

UNESCO title for Le Corbusier Houses in Stuttgart. On July 17, 2016, the two Le Corbusier houses at the Weissenhof Estate in the Southern German city of Stuttgart were designated as #UNESCO World Heritage Sites, making it the first World Heritage Site for #Stuttgart and the 41st for #Germany.

The two Stuttgart houses are the architect’s only buildings in Germany and include the Weissenhof Museum, which illustrates the radical change in architecture around the time of the Second World War as well as Le Corbusier’s visionary thinking.

Germany’s other 40 UNESCO World Heritage Sites include the majestic Cologne Cathedral, the expansive Wadden Sea habitat, Classical Weimar and Regensburg’s charming Old Town. They can be explored via eight different themed routes, from natural wonders to architecture to palaces and parks.
