The factory and its associated residential quarters, owned by Czech shoe manufacturer Tomáš Baťa, were built between 1931 and 1935, modeled on the model town of Zlín in the Czech Republic, Bata's hometown. It is best reached from the Rhine-Marne Canal via the former railway bridge at Lock No. 8 and the former train station building. The dirt road is easily accessible even on a racing bike in dry weather. First, you reach the former factory buildings with their typical red and white color scheme. In accordance with the Athens Charter, the living areas were separated from those used for work. Accordingly, the actual residential settlement is laid out a few hundred meters up a hill. Here, too, the residential buildings are constructed in the Classical Modern style as cubic structures with flat roofs. I particularly liked the red-brick houses in the first section, but the church at the highest point of the settlement is also worth a look.
