Die gemordete Stadt

Die gemordete Stadt ("The Murdered City") is a classic critique of post-war German urban planning by journalists Wolf Jobst Siedler and Gina Angress and photographer Elisabeth Niggemeyer.

It was originally published in 1964, and re-published in 1979 and 1993.

It has been called the most influential book on architecture in post-war Germany,[1] and its effect has been linked to that of Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities in the United States and Canada.

[1] The year after its initial publication, a film on the topic was produced by architectural critic Ulrich Conrads [de].
