The topics of these exhibitions are the charac- teristic field of conflict between craft and industrial produc- tion at the Bauhaus institutions in Weimar and Dessau, and the continued influence of Bauhaus teachings, as exemplified by photography at the New Bauhaus in Chicago. With its universal means, the Bauhaus is seen worldwide as standing for collective, interdisciplinary design, for the unconditional search for utopias, opportunities and inspirations. The Bauhausler were concerned with nothing less than the success of living together in a rapidly changing world, a concern that is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago. Weimar 1919. The architect Walter Gropius foun- ded the Staatliches Bauhaus, a school of design that would become the symbol of modernism in Germany. For fourteen years – at first in Weimar, as of 1925 in Dessau, and from 1932 until its closure in 1933 in Berlin – it brought together masters of the avant-garde and students, artists, and craftsmen in order to enable them to collectively design the world of tomorrow. In 2019, Germany celebrates 100 years of Bau- haus. The centenary year is being organized and supported by the strong community of the Bauhaus Association 2019. international exhibition project called “Migrant 100 y ears of bauhaus.

Moreover, a substan- tial number of contemporary scholarly works have erased the thin line between material evidence and its interpretation. As a consequence, the architectural remains of Polish Romanesque edifices are often considered the basis for wider comparative research. Meanwhile, fragmentarily preserved structures of Romanesque buildings have allowed scholars to conduct research on their origins and models, but they have rarely provided enough information for spatial recon- structions of them. This means that one might investigate the process of transposing patterns from the Holy Roman Empire to Poland instead of the influence of Polish masons’ lodges on each other. Therefore, this paper has two aims. The first is to look at how imperial pat- terns affected the main stone structures (cathedrals and collegiate 1 Originally, my paper entitled ‘In the Shadow of Salian and Hohenstaufen Cathedrals: The Artistic Influence of the Holy Roman Empire on Polish Romanesque Architecture in the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries’ was given at the ‘Borrowing Images of Empire’ seminar during the Medieval Congress in Leeds in July 2014.

Together with specialists and ordinary individuals the congress would like to go into the questions of the role that the historical heritage of the city can play in its future and what actual opportunities arise from this for some IBA cities in particular. At the same time emphasis will be given to international discourse on this topic from the aspect of cities subject to demographic change. Maintaining, renewing and reconstructing the historic cities that have evolved, and ensuring their viability are central tasks and a challenge for local politics and urban planning. For East German cities in particular, that are very severely confronted with a dwindling population, economic stagnation and social disintegration, tackling the material and immaterial historical heritage seems to be of special importance. New, innovative approaches to the historical monuments discourse are under discussion. This starting point opens up special perspectives.
