		The architectural heritage of post-war Modernism greatly infl uences the identity of our cities. A total of 60 percent of all urban construction stems from the postwar era, and in many cities these functional buildings have long since become nuisance in the overall cityscape. This leads to the question of how to handle this inheritance? And how to turn this modern city into our home? »Heimat Moderne« documents and elaborates through numerous, occasionally very personal, discussions, pictures and essays the multifaceted aspects of this debate carried out by artists, architects, urban planners, musicians, film directors and publicists. The project was supported by the Kulturstiftung des Bundes.
