Erfurt, Germany, March 2019 100 years of Bauhaus: the Bauhaus Anniversary 2019 in Thuringia On the occasion of the big Bauhaus anniversary, Thuringia is offering visitors and residents alike the chance to go on an inspirational journey of discovery right back to where it all began. In 1919, Walter Gropius founded his legendary school of art and architecture in the German city of Weimar. The Bauhaus ideas continue to inspire architects, designers and artists all over the world in the present day and still play a role in our day-to-day lives. Thuringia was the home of an artistic revolution that signalled the start of a new era and still provides an interactive insight into the pioneering spirit and love of experimentation of the Bauhaus and Modernism today. HIGHLIGHTS IN THURINGIA Opening on 6th April 2019 – the “The Bauhaus Comes from Weimar” exhibition at the Bauhaus Museum Weimar As the location in which the Bauhaus was founded, the city of Weimar is the focus of attention of the anniversary celebrations. The opening of the new Bauhaus Museum Weimar will not only be a highlight in Thuringia but also throughout Germany. With its contemporary architecture and multimedia exhibition, the museum shines the spotlight on the Bauhaus collection of the “Klassik Stiftung Weimar” foundation, which was initiated by Walter Gropius himself back in as early as the 1920s, in a brand-new presentation. The museum brings together the history of the Bauhaus in Weimar and questions concerning life both in the present and the future. As an open meeting place for dialogue in a new cultural quarter being established in the city, the museum enables visitors to look at the history and impacts of Modernism from its beginnings right through to the present day from a contemporary perspective. Visitors will be provided with a clear and interactive insight into what influenced the Bauhaus artists and get to know the Bauhaus ideas from their origins through to their lasting legacy. The new Bauhaus Museum is closely connected to the “Haus am Horn” building, the first example of architecture created by the Bauhaus, which will also open its doors to the public from 18th May 2019 onwards. www.bauhausmuseumweimar.de Opening on 6th April 2019 – the “Van de Velde, Nietzsche and Modernism in around 1900” exhibition at the New Museum Weimar Even back at the start of the century, art, design and the way of life at the time told the story of the pursuit of new forms of expression and life with a wide range of different approaches. This exhibition showcases outstanding international works of art from the Realism, Impressionism and Art Nouveau movements in the form of paintings, sculptures and applied arts. It also presents Harry Graf Kessler and Henry van de Velde as pioneers of early Modernism in Weimar in the field of tension surrounding Friedrich Nietzsche as a mastermind and cult figure. www.klassik-stiftung.de

Pressinformation:

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and its Bauhaus walks The anniversary celebrations are also, of course, focusing on the current main building of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar University as the location in which the Bauhaus was founded. This is where Walter Gropius officially opened his “Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar” back in spring 1919. Founding the Bauhaus enabled Gropius to attract international avant-garde artists such as Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer and László Moholy-Nagy to Thuringia and in turn to boost the reputation of his school of art. Nowadays, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar still stands for openness, creativity and internationality. Students can currently chose from approx. 40 different courses and programmes of study. The main building of the university, the Van-de-Velde Building and the Haus am Horn were all added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1996. Bauhaus fans should definitely make the most of the opportunity to go on one of the Bauhaus walks offered by the university, on which current students take participants on a tour of the building, showing them its originally preserved stairwells, murals and the reconstructed Gropius Room. The Bauhaus walks take place at 2pm every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from April to October and at 2pm every Friday and Saturday from November to March. www.uni-weimar.de The Grand Tour of Modernism in Thuringia 30 buildings, some of which are listed, have been selected to take visitors on a journey back to the origins of the Bauhaus and Modernism in Thuringia. On this grand tour, participants can discover classic icons, key constructions, individual buildings and exhibitions at a broad spectrum of attractions ranging from authentic Bauhaus sites and UNESCO World Heritage Sites through to smaller locations that tell the story of Thuringian Modernism. One of the highlights of the tour is the Margaretha-Reichardt-Haus on the outskirts of the city of Erfurt. The building was once home to the hand-weaving mill of the Bauhaus artist Margaretha Reichardt, where she taught weaving and shared the intellectual and cultural ideas of the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus Workshop at the museum in Dornburg is another top location on the route of the Grand Tour through Thuringia. Bauhaus students attended the workshop to learn the art of pottery and the building, which is the last Bauhaus workshop to still be preserved in its original location, still enables visitors to experience the works and lives of the Bauhaus scholars up close and in person in the present day. bauhaus.visit-thuringia.com The BauhausCard A special edition of the ThüringenCard has been created especially for the Bauhaus anniversary year in 2019. The BauhausCard can be purchased at the ticket desks of the Bauhaus Museum Weimar and the Neues Museum Weimar for a price of 11 euros. It provides holders with admission to both museums and to 70 other tourist attractions and exhibitions on the day of and day after their visit. www.bauhauscard.info

Weimar 2019: Celebrating the Bauhaus centenary year with a new museum

The Bauhaus-Museum Weimar will open in Weimar on 6 April 2019 to mark the 100th anniversary of the most prominent design school of the 20th century. The city will be celebrating the birth of the Bauhaus, founded in 1919, with parties, theatre and exhibitions, while the opening of the “Haus der Weimarer Republik” to commemorate the 100th birthday ratification of the Weimar Republic's Constitution, coupled with the opening of a new permanent exhibition on modernism, is also set to attract great interest.

The new Bauhaus-Museum will give the world's oldest Bauhaus collection a contemporary gallery in the city in which the school was founded. It will be a modern museum focused on interaction, openness and discussion, forming the central hub of a completely new museum district emerging at the crossroads of classic Weimar and the former Nazi Gauforum. The Klassik Stiftung Weimar will be reinterpreting the history of the Bauhaus at the Bauhaus-Museum Weimar, showing that the Bauhaus is not, in fact, a style or method, but was the catalyst for processes bringing about critical changes in terms of a new society, new co-existence and – consequently – new technologies, material testing and much more in the early 20th century. The collection of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar comprises 13,000 objects and documents.

The Neues Museum Weimar will also be opening on 6 April 2019, and will tie in directly with the bauhaus museum weimar by featuring a permanent exhibition on Bauhaus trailblazers, from the Weimar Art School to Henry van de Velde. This will ensure that Weimar has a permanent venue closeby showcasing modernism as the precursor of the Bauhaus.

The founding of the Weimar Republic 100 years ago is very closely linked to the Bauhaus centenary in Weimar. The ratification of the constitution in the Nationaltheater laid the foundation for Germany’s first democracy. To mark this occasion, 2019 will see the opening of the “Haus der Weimarer Republik” opposite the theatre in July 2019, the authentic historical venue, fittingly representing this important chapter of German history with an exhibition and as a place of interaction.

These anniversaries will be accompanied by a number of highlights in 2019. While Weimar’s other renowned festivals such Genius Loci and the Kunstfest will offer further highlights throughout the year.

The Bauhaus anniversary in 2019: The Grand Tour of Modernism

On the occasion of its commemorative anniversary programme ‘100 Years of Bauhaus’ themed ‘Thinking the World Anew’, the Bauhaus Alliance 2019 invites you to rediscover historical evidence of the Bauhaus and its significance, both present and future.

In Rhineland-Palatinate the journey will take you to the Kreutzenberger Winery in Kindenheim in the Palatinate, Westendsiedlung (a housing development) in Ludwigshafen and the Lutheran church in Mainz.

Kreutzenberger Winery in Kindenheim

Winegrower Emil Kreutzenberger was sympathetic to modernism and the New Objectivity. He appointed the architect Otto Prott to design the family’s country estate in Kindenheim in 1929. Although Prott had not studied or taught at the Bauhaus himself, he was open to its avant-garde ideas.

Emil Kreutzenberger’s austere, low-rise building was a rather unusual first for the Palatinate. To this day, the family winery has remained true to this course, and has even dedicated an entire series of labels—depicting a perspective drawing by Prott—to the architect.

The Westendsiedlung in Ludwigshafen

Architect Markus Sternlieb, GAG’s technical director at the time, was committed to sociopolitical principles. Apart from that of Westendsiedlung, he supervised the development of Friedrich-Ebert- Siedlung (formerly Hindenburgsiedlung) from 1927 to 1930 and Christian-Weiß-Siedlung in the southern part of the city in 1931. Sternlieb set out to create affordable and good housing.

The flats had an area of up to 50 square metres, each with its own bathroom and toilet, which was not at all common at the time. They were intended for a family of four, with separate bedrooms for parents and children, and a living room. The majority of them included a ‘Frankfurt kitchen’, designed by architect Margarete Schütte-Linotzky in 1926 and considered the forerunner of the modern fitted kitchen.

Lutheran church in Mainz

Otto Bartning is considered Germany’s most eminent master church builder for Protestant churches and the founder of modern Protestant church construction. He built 150 churches in and outside Germany. Together with Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, he was one of the leading minds that developed the Bauhaus idiom in 1918. After the Bauhaus had relocated to Dessau, Bartning took over as director of the newly established Staatliche Bauhochschule (State University of Building) in Weimar from 1926 to 1930. However, after the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) won power in Thuringia, he had to relinquish his role and went to Berlin.

After the Second World War, Otto Bartning devised a programme for the construction of ‘Notkirchen’ (makeshift churches). In the first phase, 43 were built across Germany with the help of foreign support.

The Lutheran church on Zitadellenweg 1 in Mainz is one such church. Bartning’s serial construction produced an impressive church, despite its modest design. Plenty of light and warm wood PRESS RELEASE, March 2019 contributed to a feeling of security. The Lutheran church has always considered itself a gathering place for people in need.

Former general post office in Pirmasens becomes youth hostel

When the general post office was built in Pirmasens in 1928, it was one of the most modern postal buildings of the time: it had a mechanised parcel handling system that shipped millions of parcels from the city, which was famous for the manufacture of shoes, all over the world. The Schuhkurier (shoe courier), the postal service’s own shunting locomotive, transported the parcel-laden carriages directly to the trains at the nearby train station.

Palatinate architect Heinrich Müller (1892–1968) would have never laid claim to having learnt his trade from a member of the Bauhaus. Rather, he studied under the tutelage of Theodor Fischer and German Bestelmeyer at the Technical University of Munich. He worked for Munich’s Regional Postal Directorate from 1923 to 1924, before moving to Speyer’s Regional Postal Directorate as Chief Postal Building Officer. As head of the structural engineering department, he was responsible for the construction and conversion of all new postal buildings in the Palatinate. Hence, he was in the enviable position of being able to grant the building permits for his own projects. Heinrich Müller was appointed to teach building theory and design in the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University of Karlsruhe—today the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)—in 1936.

Gutenberg Museum in Mainz

On the occasion of the ‘100 Years of Bauhaus’, the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, one of the oldest museums of printing in the world, is featuring the Bauhaus typography that revolutionised and continues to define graphic and communication design around the world to this very day.

Bauhaus professor László Moholy-Nagy and other members of the Bauhaus movement, including Herbert Bayer, Josef Albers and Joost Schmidt, developed this ‘new typography’ or ‘Elemental Typography’, which was used in applications as diverse as advertising, posters, journals, books and the corporate design of international brands. Thus, they defined the international style of modernism. The grotesque typefaces in particular became the epitome of modernism in the USA, defining the style for future generations.

In autumn 2019, the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz will give prominence to the work of the Bauhaus in the fields of printing, typography and poster art by means of an extensive special exhibition on typography and an accompanying publication.

The Bauhaus pavilion in the inner courtyard will herald the anniversary. The geometrical form of the structure, an elongated block with a rounded end, is reminiscent of the Regina kiosk by Bauhaus associate professor Herbert Bayer. www.romantic-germany.info/bauhaus

SAXONY – ICONS OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE

Berlin/Dresden, 6 march 2019 - With its 1000 years of cultural history, Saxony, like almost no other German federal state, offers the whole architectural range – from Gothic architecture to modern-minimalist. Aside from art and music, this rich variety of architecture shapes Saxony as cultural destination no. 1 in Germany.

A lot of the groundwork for the Bauhaus movement was laid in Saxony where renowned architects of the so-called “Neues Bauen” (New Building) style left their mark. Germany’s first garden city “Hellerau” (1909) in the northern part of Dresden was rooted in the “Deutsche Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst“ (German Workshops for Craftmanship) who were also co- founders of “Deutscher Werkbund” (German Association of Craftsmen) that is closely related to the Bauhaus movement.

Architecture and design lovers will also find numerous icons of Classic Modernism throughout the region, such as Josef Albers’ large-scale glass window in Leipzig’s Grassi Museum, the “Versöhnungskirche” (Church of Reconciliation) in Leipzig and the Schocken department store in Chemnitz, which today houses a museum for archaeology. “Haus Schminke” in Löbau is one of four global eminent examples of the “Neues Bauen” style of avantgarde architecture that originated in Germany in the 1920s. In preparation of next year’s 100th Bauhaus anniversary, the house has been completely renovated and will be open to the public. Another hidden gem can be found in the small town of Niesky not too far from the Polish border where architect Konrad Wachsmann, a friend of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, built a modernist wood house in block design, now known as “Konrad-Wachsmann-Haus” and open to visitors.

DER MODERNE BLICK - THE MODERN VIEW The Modern View presents a total of 20 constructions built in the 1920s and 30s in Saxony. The book tries to tel1 their stories, which revolve around the owners and builders, the architects, and also those whose biographies have otherwise been inseparably linked to their history. We think that the modern ideas behind the buildings can be described perfectly weil with these stories. The residential buildings, cinemas, churches, factories and schools this book introduces are not all in one of Saxony' s major cities. The countryside also surprises with ambitious constructions and sophisticated designs. The book comes with an additional app. lt allows you to look at the buildings in 3D through your smartphone or tablet, making it an interactive art book that foregoes specialist jargon in favour of pictures. All you' II need to bring your own copy of the book to life is this app: The Modern View. You can find it in your app store or at www.dermoderneblick.de.

We hope you enjoy reading this book, and we hope you will marvel at what you discover. Please remember: The exhibition is already there, now here comes the catalogue! Publication date: March 2019 German/English www.dermoderneblick.de

BAUHAUS_SACHSEN April 18th, -September 29th, 2019 In 2019, many places will use the motto "100 years of Bauhaus". In the anniversary year, the museum will show off its 18 legendary Josef Albers windows, and the focus subject "Bauhaus" in its permanent exhibition, the large special exhibition BAUHAUS_SACHSEN follows the Saxon contacts of the legendary avant-garde forge. The industry and publishers of the state, its museums and collectors, its intellectual heads and workers' associations turned out to be potential partners for the art school and its graduates in many areas. The Bauhaus has maintained fruitful contact with the trade fair city of Leipzig, and specifically the Grassimuseum, early on and continually. One focus of the exhibition is on these and the works of Saxon Bauhaus artists, as well as characteristic masters such as Wassily Kandinsky, Làszlò Moholy-Nagy, Paul Klee or Josef Albers and their connections to the region. Another one is the constant inspiration of Bauhaus. The historical Bauhaus works combine the exciting dialog with works of contemporary artists. Artists Judith Raum and Katharina Jebsen reconstruct Bauhaus subjects in their project, and make it possible to experience them anew. Felix Bielmeier photographically guided through the Haus Rabe characterized by Oskar Schlemmer. The second Bauhaus graphics folder that was announced, but never put into practice, is presented by Felix Martin Furtwängler as a surprise contribution. Oskar Rink continues image spaces of the Bauhaus artists. Joachim Brohm follows the architectural implementation of a sketch by Mies van der Rohe. Alexej Metschanow's furniture assemblies finally bring up questions about seat icons.
