This and other must have been in the minds of leaders of state government when they asked the director of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius to present the first results of the school's work. The Gropius's response to the political establishment of Thuringia, which helped subsidize the school, came in the form of the world's first Bauhaus building, the Haus am Horn. Within a week of exhibitions in 1923, the Bauhaus School has demonstrated its capacity for innovation with this project and others.
financial and political pressures but led the Bauhaus to leave Weimar to Dessau, Germany, and the house was sold. Haus am Horn survived the dark years of Nazism and World War II. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage site, because it is the place where the ideas of classical modernism revolutionaries were first in full screen.

What do we think when we hear the word Bauhaus today? Most people would probably say "architecture". The Bauhaus building and houses in Dessau Masters are well known. And architects Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe are associated with the Bauhaus movement. But Gropius and others Bauhaus, it was all about interdisciplinary work.
"The basic concept was the unification of all artistic disciplines," said Michael Siebenbrodt, director of the Haus am Horn and curator of the Museum of the Bauhaus. "At the Bauhaus, everyone worked as part of a team. In all workshops, they created standardized products for industrial production. Bauhaus was not carrying a certain style, for style means imitation. Instead this, the Bauhaus was a school of invention. "

This abundance of the invention manifests itself after only four months of construction, in the Haus am Horn. All workshops of the Bauhaus helped build and furnish the house, which has emerged as a residential prototype.
It was supposed to be the beginning of a village Bauhaus that would be like a university campus today. However, after the regional elections of 1924, the structure of power in Thuringia has changed, and the new conservative administration reduced the budget for the 50 percent of schools. In 1925, the Bauhaus moved to Dessau, and the village did not come to pass.

the experimental Haus am Horn was not designed by an architect, but by a painter and graphic artist Georg Muche, who was the head of the weaving workshop Bauhaus.
Students who later achieved recognition also participated. One was Marcel Breuer, who designed the living room furniture and furniture for the "lady's chamber". Marta Erps The wove carpets, and Bauhaus master Laszo Moholy-Nagy designed lighting for " Man's room."
supplies The building was built in the Bauhaus garden, where students and livestock products for the school canteen. Innovative materials were used in construction. The wall structures and ceiling are made of lightweight building blocks linked slag cement concrete, which form a double skin masonry wall with Torfoleum insulation between. The thin material, low energy consumption saved on transportation and heating costs.
"Here we have what is probably one of the first eco-homes of the story," says Siebenbrodt. "Due to the new method of construction, heating costs were reduced by 50 percent compared to other homes of the period."

anyone visiting the Haus am Horn leaves with a new different understanding of the Bauhaus. "Modern White" is something that has never really existed in this direction, "said Siebenbrodt. "This image has emerged because of the way the media reported it. Magazines on architecture advertising projects in black and white until the 1970s, however, the Bauhaus is a dark affair." that was seen then and now can be seen in Haus am Horn.
The building is designed as a home to Mediterranean courtyard with a room in the center around which all the other rooms are arranged in a ring.

Siebenbrodt is the president of the Circle of friends for Haus am Horn. Its connection to the Bauhaus goes back to his childhood. "The learned Bauhaus Hedwig Huschke was my first art teacher. As a boy, I always went to Huschke aunt and sitting on small chairs Bauhaus, Bauhaus eat small plates".
Siebenbrodt grew up in Berlin Adlershof section in one of the housing complexes designed by former Bauhaus professor Ludwig Hilberseimer. Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, painter and printmaker expressionist Conrad Felixmüller was a friend of father-like. Bauhaus was apparently the fate of Siebenbrodt. The enthusiasm with which he leads us through the rooms is contagious. Here he is sitting on a picture of a reproduction of drawings by Marcel Breuer furniture.
The original furniture in the house is long gone. The 1923 show lasted only eight weeks, from August 15 until September 30. After that, a series of occupants renovated and reconfigured again and again home.

room for children was built as a multi-functional adventure playground. It was designed by a student, Alma Buscher, the wood carving workshop. She also designed the ceiling light fixture. It was conceived as a film camera and was initially to be lowered by hand crank so that children can place their cardboard cutouts and the like on it.
"Consider the fact that Moholy-Nagy invented his famous space-modulator light soon after, "said Siebenbrodt with a wink." He could have gone through the workshops and was inspired by the light of Buscher. "

This modular system is older than Modulor of Le Corbusier. Lowest box is the right height for children. Keep it on the edge and you have a table. Large boxes can be used for adult seat. The unit with a closed and the window is not a case of single-function display door but becomes, at the opening, a puppet theater. The combinations are almost endless. "And you do not have to explain to children, they intuitively understand," said Siebenbrodt.

system of children's room was made shortly by the Bauhaus workshops for kindergarten classes. "We have long sought a preserved example of origin and was lucky it a few years ago when we found a private possession," said Siebenbrodt. "Today, it is the Bauhaus Museum. Here, you are only looking at a reproduction. "

wooden, hinged glass doors, also serving windows were installed in the living rooms, while the bottom hung windows space saving were chosen for the kitchen - all with polished glass plate. in the construction of the house in 1923, the simple window glass punctuated with streaks and cavities was in general use. a quality product has been used for the Haus am Horn was thicker and thus a better thermal insulation. Special hinges designed by students of the Bauhaus maximized window openings, while allowing access to all parts of the glass for cleaning.
