All roads lead to the Bauhaus§The present-day perception of the icon that is the Bauhaus concerns a curiously isolated phenomenon in terms of time and space. But the historic Bauhaus (1919 1933), the legendary design school and its renowned exponents that this travel guide is devoted to, operated within a very concrete, tension-filled political and geographical framework. It left its mark here. From here, from the fascination of the authentic historical site that is complexly mirrored in the present, the history of the Bauhaus model is now told in a new way in three chapters. The journey leading from Weimar and Dessau to Berlin for example combines the well known architectonic signets by Henry van de Velde and Walter Gropius or the three leading museum collections in these cities with previously hardly noticed matters. Interspersed short essays highlight insights into the past and present.
