Die gemordete Stadt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[2]
