Haus Lange Haus Esters

Die Häuser Lange und Esters in Krefeld

Birgit Hamers

The villa ensemble known as Haus Lange Haus Esters was commissioned in 1927 by Hermann Lange (1874-1942) and Josef Esters (1886-1969). Mies completed the private residential houses in the spring of 1930. They were to be home not only for the families of the clients but also, in the case of Hermann Lange, for his comprehensive collection of contemporary art. The first designs were submitted in the summer of 1927. The design assignment for the architects included the concept for all utility areas kitchen, darkroom, bathrooms, as well as, in the case of Haus Esters, the layout of the garden.
