Caputh, Germany



The summer house of Albert Einstein, built in 1929 by Konrad Wachsmann,
where Einstein spent most of days before emigrating to the US in 1932.
Initially, the city of Berlin had wanted to give the scientist a summer house
as a present upon his 50th birthday, but failed to agree on a location and
suitable dwelling. Albert politely told them to forget it, and he built his
own.
