About the landmark

The WBS 70, short for housing construction series 70, was the most widely built type of prefabricated slab building in the GDR. From the 1970s onwards, entire residential districts from Rostock to Suhl were built using this system. For many people in eastern Germany, the "Neubaublock" is a piece of childhood and everyday life that still shapes the cities today.
