Leberecht Migge (1881-1935) was one of the most innovative landscape architects of the early 20th century. With work ranging from large urban parks to housing settlements with allotment gardens, he sought to create functional green spaces that would not only meet the environmental challenges of the industrial metropolis but also improve the social conditions of modern life. The nationalistic rhetoric of 'Garden Culture of the Twentieth Century' marks it as a political tract of the late Kaiserreich, and its deep influence within the Siedlung communities of the Weimar era attests to its lasting cultural impact.
