Women at the Bauhaus

Women at the Bauhaus

The tour on International Women’s Day is dedicated to the wives of the masters in the modernist artists’ colony.

The Masters’ Houses are an expression of the new modernist lifestyle translated into architectural form. The idea behind the new interior design was, among other things, to bring benefits to the women living there. But how did the masters’ wives, Nina Kandinsky and Lilly Klee, actually experience life in the new semi-detached house? How did they manage to actually implement the newly propagated egalitarian lifestyle vis-à-vis their husbands? In everyday life, traditional role models often clashed with the burgeoning emancipation of women at the Bauhaus.

The tour starts at the ticket office in the Bauhaus Building, where visitors are picked up and need a tour ticket including admission.

The number of participants is limited to 25.
