The architectural style is also very similar to the 'Plattenbau' buildings found extensively in the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany). Cities like East Berlin (particularly districts like Marzahn-Hellersdorf), Leipzig, and Dresden are filled with these prefabricated concrete panel buildings. While the overall aesthetic fits, the specific design of the continuous recessed balconies feels slightly less common than in the French equivalent, making this a plausible but secondary candidate.

This style of large-scale social housing was a common solution to post-war housing shortages across many Western European countries. Belgium, particularly in the suburbs of cities like Brussels or Charleroi, has numerous similar housing estates. While possible, this architectural style is less iconic or widespread as a national stereotype compared to the French 'grands ensembles' or German 'Plattenbauten', making it a less likely, but still plausible, option.
