Die Stadtkrone or City Crown is a concept of Urban planning put forward by German expressionist architects, and particularly championed by Bruno Taut in the early part of the 20th century.

This particular strain of humane, functionalist urban planning would eventually lead to the extensive German housing projects of Ernst May and Bruno Taut in the 1920s, May's plans for Magnitogorsk and other Russian cities, and then widespread influence through Tessenow's student Otto Koeningsberger, an urban planner who worked in Asia, Latin America, Africa and particularly India, for instance the 1948 plan for the Indian city of Bhubaneswar.
Several landmarks are located on the Weyerberg, such as the Cheese Dome House after designs by Bruno Taut, the Lower Saxony Stone by Bernhard Hoetger, and the Zion's Church.
Bruno Taut was accompanied by Martin Wagner (1885-1957), who acted as an outstanding political organiser and networker and is regarded as the key figure in the construction of Berlin’s housing estates.
