Women at the Bauhaus
Women at the Bauhaus
The tour on International Women’s Day is dedicated to the female students and teachers of the Bauhaus School.
Many students came to the school as a result of the Bauhaus exhibition in Weimar in 1923 and were fascinated by the unusual and interesting works. The innovative concept of Walter Gropius and his masters, some of whom were already internationally renowned, promised a new era for men and women alike, offering them the opportunity to develop their creative talents and promote and expand their artistic and craftsmanship skills. At the beginning, the proportion of women at the Bauhaus was greater than that of their male fellow students. However, this changed drastically as a result of social constraints and the hierarchical self-image of the male-dominated Bauhaus management. But the women who were not deterred, such as Lena Meyer-Bergner and Marianne Brandt, left an indelible mark on the Bauhaus.
The number of participants is limited to 25 people.
