Das Staatliche Bauhaus Weimar auf dem Weg zur Institution 1919–1921

A groundbreaking analysis reveals the pivotal role of Weimar Bauhaus's predecessor institutions in shaping its revolutionary program between 1919 and 1921. Contrary to prior assumptions, these early structures were not merely obstacles but catalysts for the Bauhaus's self-discovery and institutionalization. The study employs a social science framework to dissect the tensions between assimilation and demarcation, political challenges, and the constant need for justification—highlighting how these conflicts fueled the movement's evolution. By re-evaluating the academic legacy of Weimar's art schools, this research sheds new light on the Bauhaus's emancipation from traditional constraints, offering a nuanced understanding of its formative years.
