Garden City Erika
The construction of the aluminium plant in Lauta marked the beginning of the factory colony.
The garden city Erika was built by the architect and builder Ewald Kleffel around 1917. He was a student of the architect Mayenburg, who designed the garden city Marga.
A school, an inn, a cultural centre, business premises and a church were built around the central market. Almost 1000 mining flats were built under the architectural direction of Ewald Kleffel. All the buildings are two-storey. Among other things, four civil servants' flats, four senior master's flats and A and B houses were built. The B-houses were exclusively for civil servants/employees and the A-houses for workers. The houses were connected by walls and each flat had a garden.
Guided tours through the garden city are available by appointment and during special opening hours of the arts centre.
In the future, a cycle path will also lead through the garden city of Erika, with various explanatory signs along the route.
