Rundling (Leipzig)

The Rundling, also called "Nibelungensiedlung",[1] is a circular housing estate in the southern part of Leipzig in the Lößnig neighborhood.

[2] Ritter built 24 houses in a row construction on a flat hill on what was then the outskirts of the city, arranged in the form of three concentric rings.

The western entrance is emphasized by two front buildings with neighborhood shops on the ground floor areas.

According to the architectural historian Winfried Nerdinger, the Rundling is a "symbol of the ideals of the Neues Bauen style of the Weimar Republic".

[5] The Siegfriedplatz in the center of the complex, planned by the city garden director Nikolaus Molzen (1881–1954), received a large paddling pool for the children of the settlement.
