To see the diversity and urban development possibilities offered by Modern Architecture, often reviled today, one has to look at a country outside Europe. In the 30s, in what was then Palestine, called Eretz-Israel by Jewish immigrants, whole urban districts were transformed into areas of Modern Architecture in the Bauhaus spirit; the variety offered is unequalled, but so far this work has been largely ignored by architectural historians. Architects and Engineers trained in Europe were able to continue and develop what they had started in Dessau, Paris or Berlin, unhampered by ideological shackles; this was particularly true in Tel Aviv. Thus architecture was created that in a certain sense brought Modernism to completion.Will man sich vor Augen führen, welche Vielfalt und welche städtebaulichen Möglichkeiten in der heute oft geschmähten modernen Architektur stecken, muß man den Blick auf ein Land außerhalb Europas richten. In den 30er Jahren wurden im damaligen Palästina, von den eingewanderten Juden Eretz-Israel genannt, ganze Stadtbezirke aus dem Geist des Bauhauses heraus in Zonen moderner Architektur verwandelt, die in ihrer Vielgestaltigkeit ihresgleichen suchen, doch bis heute bei den Architekturhistorikern kaum Beachtung fanden. In Europa ausgebildete Architekten und Ingenieure konnten besonders in Tel Aviv unbehindert durch ideologische Fesseln fortsetzen und weiterentwickeln, was sie zuvor in Dessau, Berlin oder Paris begonnen hatten, und so eine Architektur schaffen, die die Moderne in gewisser Weise vollendete.
