List of German utopian communities

"The settlement is the way to the healthy, strong human of the future, to a completely new, organic lifestyle and thereby closes all other questions of our times."

Gustav Adolf Küppers[1]

"We are striving for the paradise of the earth. [...] We have recognized and banned the inhuman brutality and degeneracy of today's society."

Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach[2]

German utopian communities are historic intentional communities that were formed in wake of various social movements from the mid-19th century until the 1930s. Estimates show that around 100 communities were created between 1918 and 1933,[3] but data is unreliable.[4] Although communities were ideologically diverse, they shared a common sense of mission as role models for German society at large.[5]
