A4 (or „letter“) size map of the nominated See end of summary property, showing boundaries and buffer zone (if present) Justification With the construction of the Fagus factory, Statement of outstanding universal value Gropius made a breakthrough to new, modern art that went hand in hand with the age of technology. The Fagus factory, with a radical break from the conventional design practice, represents for the first time a new expression of architecture, which develops space and form from function, takes into account the light, air and lucidity require- ments of its users and makes use of the new technical possibilities of construction with glass and steel in industrially pre-produced processing. Glass, which is actually an unsubstantial material,becomes a formative building material and mode of expression of architecture.The design concepts underlying this construction had a decisive influence on the development of twentieth century architecture not only in Germany and Europe, but around the globe.

The year 2019 marks the 100 th anniversary of the celebration, but the allure of an idea that transcends founding of the Bauhaus. Established in Weimar both time and borders.

  • Timetravel by Train (PDF)
    IN COLLABORATION WITH Michael Turtle www.timetravelturtle.com 18th June – 17th July 2014 #timetravelbytrain #welterbegermany TimeTravel by train There are 39 World Heritage Sites in Germany and only three other countries have more. They range from ancient Roman ruins to modern housing estates. There are royal residences, grand churches and old industrial sites. Together they tell a story of a country that has made its mark on Europe over the cen- turies through leadership, cooperation, hard work and ingenuity. I decided to make this trip by train because I love watching the countryside go by as I travel between the sites. It’s also convenient and comfortable and takes me right to the centre of dynamic cities, into charming rural communi- ties and through stunning landscapes. Along the journey are the constantly changing cultures, cuisines and environments of the country’s diferent regions. One of the most enjoyable parts of this trip is being able to see the whole breadth of Germany from north to south and east to west. Each night I stayed in one of the hostels in the German Youth Hostel net- work. It added another level to the experience, with many of the properties in authentic cultural or historical buildings across the country I set myself a challenge to see all of the 39 World Heritage Sites in just 30 days. Most Blogger Michael Turtle people would probably prefer to spend longer at many of the sites to learn more about their signiicance and explore the region. So feel free to use this Michael Turtle left his full time job in the Australian media guide to visit every single one of Germany’s World Heritage Sites or choose industry three years ago to travel indeinitely and really a selection to it your interests.
