  • Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus
    Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term Bauhaus, literally "house of construction" stood for "School of Building". The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a The Bauhaus Dessau 'total' work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1] The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography. The school existed in three German cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933), under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, 1921/2, Walter Gropius's Expressionist Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Monument to the March Dead from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The changes of venue and leadership resulted in a constant shifting of focus, technique, instructors, and politics. For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an important revenue source; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes Meyer to attend it.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School The College of Arts and Architecture FROM ACTIVISM TO KIETISM: MODERIST SPACES I HUGARIA ART, 1918-1930 BUDAPEST – VIEA – BERLI A Dissertation in Art History by Edit Tóth © 2010 Edit Tóth Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 The dissertation of Edit Tóth was reviewed and approved* by the following: Nancy Locke Associate Professor of Art History Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Sarah K. Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

  • Decision Taken in Closed Architectural Competition for the Bauhaus- Archiv / Museum Für Gestaltung, Berlin Berlin, 23 October 2015
    Press release Decision taken in closed architectural competition for the Bauhaus- Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, Berlin Berlin, 23 October 2015. The winner of the closed competition for the ‘Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum for Gestaltung, Berlin’, announced in June 2015 by the Senate Administration for Urban Develop- ment and the Environment, has been decided following a two-day meeting of the jury on 21 and 22 October 2015. The jury has awarded the first prize to the design submitted by Berlin architect Volker Staab and has recommended that the design should be implemented. Senate Director of Urban Development Regula Lüscher: ‘Volker Staab has given us a design that will cause a sensation. It has an attractively modest quality and it will complete the landscape ensemble of the Villa von der Heydt and the Walter Gropius building. An open, flexible museum setting will be created that upholds the experimentational quality of the Bauhaus idea. It will attract people to meet up there, exchange views and rediscover the many different aspects of the Bauhaus idea. A lantern shining in the night will be created, a glittering gem on the new square with a view opening onto the Landwehrkanal. The lower-lying courtyard will form the heart of the complex, enabling the existing building to enter into dialogue with the new one.’ The Minister of State for Culture, Monika Grütters, comments on the result: ‘I am delighted that Volker Staab, who already has an established reputation in the field of museum architecture – in Bayreuth and Münster, for example – has now presented a convincing design for Berlin as well.

  • The Napoleon Series
    The Napoleon Series Officers of the Anhalt Duchies who Fought in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, 1789-1815: Harsleben, [?] By Daniel Clarke Harsleben, whose first names could not be found, was most likely born in either the Principality of Anhalt-Dessau or Anhalt-Köthen during the latter part of the eighteenth century. No information could be found about his family relationships, or military service before or during the early part of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, if indeed he was in service at this time. Harsleben first appears in the records during the first two months of 1814. He had the rank of an Oberleutnant (1st Lieutenant) and commanded what is referred to as the Anhalt Freiwilliger Jäger Detachment, or the Anhalt-Dessau Freiwilliger Jäger Korps. This small unit had no more than 50 men and was formed during February 1814. Some of the recruits came from the Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen Jäger Battalion, which had been organised in the spring and summer of 1813 by the Allies from former prisoners of war under the command of a Major Krohn, a Russian. These experienced soldiers from its scharfschützen detachment stiffened the ranks of the volunteers who made up most of the company. It is possible that Harsleben was one of these men from the Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen Jäger Battalion, or perhaps an officer from the Anhalt-Dessau Gendarmerie who volunteered for the command, as he wanted to see frontline, active service. Either way, being mostly a unit of volunteers, the soldiers actually had to purchase their own weapons and they seem to have chosen to arm themselves with the short, German scharfschützen rifle first manufactured in 1790.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. ABSTRACT The Bauhaus, one of the most prestigious colleges of fine arts, was founded in 1919 by the architect Walter Gropius. Although it is closed in the last century, its influence is still manifested in design industries now and will continue to spread its principles to designers and artists. Even, it has a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, fashion design and design education. Up until now, Bauhaus ideal has al- ways been a controversial focus that plays a crucial role in the field of design. Not only emphasizing function but also reflecting the human-oriented idea could be the greatest progress on modern design and manufacturing. Even more, harmonizing the relationship between nature and human is the ultimate goal for all the designers to create their artworks. This essay will analyze Bauhaus’s influence on modern design and manufacturing in terms of technology, architecture and design education.

  • Anhalt-Köthen (1820-1853)
    Anhalt-Köthen (1820-1853) Staatsgebiet Das Herzogtum Anhalt-Köthen befindet sich in Mitteldeutschland. Es verteilt sich auf 4 Gebietsteile: Roßlau, Köthen, Warmsdorf und die Exklave Dornburg. An den äußeren Grenzen liegen das Königreich Preußen und die Gebietsteile von Anhalt-Dessau und Anhalt–Bernburg. Im Köthenschen Staatsgebiet befinden sich die preußischen Enklaven Repau und Pösigk. Zudem verfügt Anhalt-Köthen mit "Askania Nova" über eine Besitzung im südlichen Russland und in Schlesien über das Fürstentum Pleß. Hauptstadt und Sitz des Hofes ist Köthen. Nach dem Tod des letzten Herzogs von Anhalt-Köthen, Heinrich (1778-1747) am 23. November 1847 wird das Land zunächst unter die gemeinsame Verwaltung von Anhalt-Dessau und Anhalt-Bernburg gestellt und 1853 mit Anhalt-Dessau zum Herzogtum Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen vereinigt. Geographie/Topographie Für das Herzogtum Anhalt-Köthen wird 1815 eine Fläche von 15 Quadratmeilen angegeben. Der GIS-Wert beträgt 732km². Das Land liegt an den Flüssen Elbe, Saale, Wipper, Fuhne und Nuthe; Seen gibt es keine. "Die Verschiedenheit des Bodens in den Landen diesseits und jenseits der Elbe ist so groß, als sie in Anhalt irgend sein kann; zwar ist das ganze Herzogtum eben und nur hier und da erheben sich einzelne Anhöhen etwas mehr über den Spiegel der benachbarten Flüsse, aber während der Köthensche Boden wegen seiner Ergiebigkeit fast sprichwörtlich geworden ist, bietet das Zerbster Land nur alle Abstufungen von lehmigem, gemischtem und sandigem Boden bis zum toten Sande dar." (H. Lindner) Geschichte bis 1815/20 Die Linie Anhalt-Köthen, welche nach dem 1115 erstmals erwähnten slawischen Ort Köthen benannt ist, entstand 1252 aus dem Hause Anhalt.

Reviewed by Almut Spalding (Department of Modern Languages and Program of Gender and Women's Studies, Illinois College) Published on H-German (October, 2005) To Represent a Dynasty When Princely Heirs Are Scarce: Castles of the Princesses of Orange Together, these two books explore the castle complexes that four succeeding generations of princesses of the house of Orange built in the seventeenth to mid-eighteenth centuries, among them Oranienburg near Berlin, Oranienbaum near Dessau, Oranienstein near Limburg/Lahn, and Mosigkau, also near Dessau. Wörlitz, another castle and park complex in the same tradition and also near Dessau, developed in the late eighteenth century by a male scion of the family, is considerably larger and in 2000 was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The two present studies show, however, how the women in the family transmitted the interest in architecture and landscaping, and how their castles provided models when subsequent generations of the family embarked on building projects of their own.
