was
built in 1923 as a trial house for the great Bauhaus exhibition.
The design was conceived by Georg Muche, the Bauhaus‘s
youngest teacher; the construction was carried out by Gropius‘s
construction office under the directorship of Adolf Meyer.
The
house is the very first realized example of Bauhaus architecture
(and unfortunately the only one in Weimar)and belongs to the
UNESCO
World Cultural Heritage.
On
the occasion of the Bauhaus‘s 80th anniversary, the house
was comprehensively renovated by the Bauhaus University Circle
of Friends with support from public donors and the »Sparkasse«
Finance Group.
Today
it is used by the Circle of Friends for exhibitions and events.
