Grundlage hierfür ist die jahrtausendealte Gerechtigkeitsformel suum cuique, zu Deutsch Jedem das Seine, die von den Nationalsozialisten als zynische Inschrift am Innentor des Konzentrationslagers Buchenwald angebracht wurde und bis heute für Leidtragende ein Sinnbild des Nationalsozialismus darstellt. Da die Phrase jedoch ebenfalls für Gerechtigkeit, Individualität oder Gleichheit stehen kann und nicht zu den eindeutigen sprachlichen Pejorisierungsstrategien wie Zigeuner oder Neger gehört, wird sie in Printmedien hochfrequent gebraucht. Weiterhin finden sich zahlreiche Verwendungen der Phrase in der Werbebranche, um beispielsweise für einen hohen Grad an Individualität zu werben. Es herrscht somit kein öffentlicher

  • Sleep Like a Bauhaus Master
    P R E S S E M I T T E I L U N G 1. November 2013 Sleep Like a Bauhaus Master The studio building of the Dessau Bauhaus now offers you the opportunity to stay in rooms that were once lived in by Josef Albers, Alfred Arndt, or Franz Ehrlich - and the interior of Marianne Brandt's studio has been reconstructed as well. Visitors to the Bauhaus studio building in Dessau can now stay overnight in rooms that were occupied by Anni and Josef Albers, Gertrud and Alfred Arndt, or Franz Ehrlich in the 1920s. Recent research has made it possible to say exactly who resided in which apartment during the period between 1926 and 1932. These rooms have now been given a personal touch in the form of furni- ture and works of art by the respective members of the Bauhaus. The Preller- haus, as the studio building is called, can once again be experienced in its historical, programmatic function as a collective residence. Why not soak up the heady atmosphere of the 1920s and the wild excitement of life as it went on here at the Bauhaus? The Albers Room: The painter, sculptor and art theoretician Josef Albers (1888-1976) probably oc- cupied room 204 from September 1926 until he moved into a master's house in 1928. The Bauhaus master distinguished himself as a furniture designer, creating remarkable single items of furniture and furniture groups in the 1920s. Among them are an oak wood rack for periodicals and sheet music from 1923, a tea table of oak and white-painted glass from 1927 and a nesting table from 1926.

  • Bauhaus · Modernism · Design 
    Bauhaus · Modernism · Design Editorial The State Bauhaus School was founded in 1919 and became more than just a world-famous school of architecture and art: The Bauhaus was a trailblazer, representing the modernism movement that gained interna- tional acclaim. Today it is considered to be the most influential German cultural export of the 20th century. The Bauhaus stands for great ideas in both design and social reform. It significantly shaped architecture, art, and design, and its influence has lasted up until the present day. Experi- ments in form and colour, architectural icons and everyday design, wild parties and minimalist buildings are closely associated with the Bauhaus. The roots of this modern movement — how it evolved, how it inspired and polarised — can all be experienced in and around Weimar more impressively than in almost any other region. Revolution. New begin- nings. Departure into a new era in Germany’s first democracy, which was also founded in Weimar in 1919. Full of hope, with the absolute will to design and to change. Courage to experiment and zest for life. But also: Arguments and contradiction. Rejection. Expulsion. In Weimar and the surrounding cities of Jena, Erfurt, and Gera, along with the nearby countryside, the bountiful architectural testimonials, the artistic works and historical venues, the current exhibitions and events explain the suspenseful history of the Bauhaus and modernism. Travellers in Thuringia not only find the heritage left by the international artistic avantgarde during the Bauhaus era, but they can also discover the in spiring designers who are working there today and will continue to do so in the future.

  • “Indestructible Idea” of the Bauhaus and Its East German Reception
    FROM AN “ALIEN,HOSTILE PHENOMENON” TO THE “POETRY OF THE FUTURE”: ON THE BAUHAUS RECEPTION IN EAST GERMANY, 1945–70 Wolfgang Thöner The “Indestructible Idea” of the Bauhaus and its East German Reception The Bauhaus, the most influential modern design movement of the twen- tieth century, made its presence felt in East Germany (meaning the Soviet Zone of Occupation from 1945 to 1949 and, later, the German Democratic Republic) not only through its intellectual and material legacy, but also through the activities of former teachers and students from the school. The reaction to this legacy was always a politically charged affair in East Germany, linked with fundamental questions of culture, lifestyle, or, as it was called in the GDR, the socialist way of life.1 When one considers the legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly its adap- tation in different cultural contexts, it is important to distinguish the Bauhaus reception from the general reception of modern art.2 Through- out its existence, from 1919 through 1933, the Bauhaus considered itself part of an international avant-garde. Decades after the school was closed, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe spoke of the “indestructible idea” of the Bauhaus, without specifying whether this idea was more a question of style in the art-historical sense or, rather, one of lifestyle.3 The Bauhaus strove to shape the human environment comprehensively; in this regard, it was much more effective and complex than other institutions and movements concerned with design. It was a school which developed and applied new pedagogical methods; it was active in the fields of architec- ture, urban planning, landscape design, industrial design, and graphic design, as well as in the fine arts.
