Under the direction of the architect Richard Paulick, a "film committee for construction and settlement" in 1926 produces the cultural film series WIE WOHNEN WIR GESUND UND WIRTSCHAFTLICH? (HOW DO WE LIVE HEALTHY AND ECONOMICALLY?) . It decries the housing shortage in large cities and points to alternatives such as settlement buildings and Walter Gropius' residential building in Dessau. DAS BAUHAUS UND SEINE BAUWEISE (1926) presents the rational building methods applied in the settlement Dessau-Törten. Spots advertise for free homeownership through home purchase savings, for furniture made by the reform workshops of Gildenhall and for hygiene in everyday life. Informational films on the "Frankfurt kitchen" and the Haarer kitchen demonstrate how the work of the housewife can be optimized. In 1930 Slatan Dudow states that the housing situation of workers is a problem of time that can only be solved politically.
