About Single-kitchen home

The single-kitchen home was a reform model of urban residential development in which a centrally managed canteen kitchen within a multi-party house replaced the kitchens of the individual apartments. The concept was based on the ideas of the women's rights activist and social democrat Lily Braun. With the basic idea of liberating women from housework, at the beginning of the 20th century it was an explicit counter-design to the establishment of the isolated nuclear family in mass housing. Single-kitchen houses, sometimes also called central kitchen houses, were implemented in various European large cities in isolated and different ways until the 1950s. As key works of an idea of modern living, some of these buildings were nominated for the European Heritage Label in 2009, expressly as a network of common European architecture spread across various countries.
