The »Haus am Horn«

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.
