Summary

This study highlights the significant yet often overlooked contributions of women architects who trained at the Bauhaus school (1919–1933) and later achieved international recognition. Initially comprising half of the student body, these women faced unique challenges due to the institution's evolving policies. The research focuses on three prominent figures—Lotte Stam-Beese, Annemarie Mauck, and Wera Meyer-Waldeck—examining their trajectories from Bauhaus students to esteemed professionals. By analyzing historical records and original documents housed in the Bauhaus-Archiv Museum für Gestaltung (BHA) in Berlin, the study sheds light on the gender dynamics within the school during the Weimar Republic era. It reveals how these women navigated institutional constraints while making enduring impacts on architecture, challenging traditional narratives about their roles.
