“Take a copper house with you to Palestine. Despite the intense heat your rooms will remain cool” – this was once the slogan used by the “Hirsch Kupfer und Messingwerke AG” to advertise in the <i>Jüdische Rundschau</i>. When the German-Jewish entrepreneur Siegmund Hirsch started production of copper houses back in spring 1931, he saw a double function in this: his company was not working to full capacity and there was a need for housing in the Weimar republic; on the other hand he wanted to make a contribution to the development of the future state of Israel.

New models were developed especially for Palestine – and were given names such as Jaffa, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or Lebanon. One special adaptation for the climatic conditions was “washable walls”, which were supposed to afford protection against pests and insects. The smallest model, which had 70 m2 of useable floor space, cost 6550 Mark. For one Reichsmark per kilogram the homes packed in crates were transported from the factory in Eberswalde to Hamburg, and from there they went by ship to Haifa.

A good dozen of these prefab houses found their way to Palestine back then. Three are still standing on Mount Carmel in Haifa (including one in Tel Mane Street and one in Leonardo da Vinci Street), as well as one on Mount Canaan near Safed. They are now protected by a monument preservation order.
These buildings are prefabs made from copper plate, which should ideally be ready to move into within a day. The prefab construction method was developed in 1929 by architect Robert Krafft and engineer Friedrich Förster. Two years later at the International Colonial Exhibition in Paris their project won a Grand Prix. Then the famous architect Walter Gropius was awarded the contract to improve the initial house models. Gropius designed them to be more “modern” by for instance putting flat roofs on them. In Germany the different models were called Lebensquell (Source of Life), Frühlingstraum (Spring Reverie), Kupfermärchen (Fairytale in Copper) or Sonnenschein (Sunshine).{{#newBox:listbox}}

New models were developed especially for Palestine – and were given names such as Jaffa, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or Lebanon. One special adaptation for the climatic conditions was “washable walls”, which were supposed to afford protection against pests and insects. The smallest model, which had 70 m2 of useable floor space, cost 6550 Mark. For one Reichsmark per kilogram the homes packed in crates were transported from the factory in Eberswalde to Hamburg, and from there they went by ship to Haifa.

A good dozen of these prefab houses found their way to Palestine back then. Three are still standing on Mount Carmel in Haifa (including one in Tel Mane Street and one in Leonardo da Vinci Street), as well as one on Mount Canaan near Safed. They are now protected by a monument preservation order.

Two young Germans have thoroughly researched and retold this largely unknown episode in German-Israeli architectural history in their book “Heimatcontainer: Deutsche Fertighäuser in Israel” (Home from Home - German Portakabins in Israel; Friedrich von Borries, Jens-Uwe Fischer, published by Suhrkamp 2009).
