Couple relationships in the Bauhaus Masters’ Houses: 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.

Unexpected discoveries at the Bauhaus Museum Dessau – students and teachers at 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.
