Haus am Horn Weimar
The Haus am Horn was built for the Bauhaus exhibition of July through September 1923 based on designs by Georg Muche, a painter and a teacher at the Bauhaus.
Originally, Walter Gropius, head of the Bauhaus had planned to design it himself, but his designs fell through when he asked his students for their opinion. They instead supported Muche's design. Gropius agreed and had his private architecture firm turn them into blueprints. The actual construction was overseen by Adolf Meyer and financed by Adolf Sommerfeld, a Berlin investor and real estate developer, for whom Gropius had built an expressionist villa at Berlin-Lichterfelde in the early 1920s. Despite the difficult economic environment (see Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic), Sommerfeld made a significant financial contribution. For this, he was awarded ownership of the property once the Werkschau was over.
The house was built away from the main section of the Bauhaus, on land that was being used as a vegetable garden for the school. Other Bauhaus instructors assisted with the technical aspects of the house's design. Gropius stated that the goal of the house's construction was the greatest comfort with the greatest economy by the application of the best craftsmanship and the best distribution of space in form, size, and articulation. László Moholy-Nagy designed the lights and they were made in the Bauhaus metal workshop; Marcel Breuer, a student at the time, designed the furniture, including the built-in cabinetry. The kitchen was furnished by Theodor Bogler.The Bauhaus Werksaustellung of summer 1923 was a cause of much admiration but also of controversy. Criticism was aimed at Gropius personally and in 1924 he moved the Bauhaus school to Dessau in Saxony-Anhalt. For a year, the Haus stood empty. Sommerfeld took out the furnishings and advertised the house for sale. In the fall of 1924, it was purchased by lawyer Franz Kühn. He added a garage and several small additions. In the late 1930s he was forced to sell the property by the Nazi authorities. With the end of World War II the town administered the property. In the early 1950s under communist rule it was transferred into Volkseigentum (public property). Several families were housed here and it fell into disrepair until people who lived there from 1971 until the late 1990s undertook its repair on their own. In 1996, it was declared part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar and Dessau. Renovation work followed. Additions and garages were demolished and the aim was to restore the original appearance in 1923.

A Christmas Carol // DNT Weimar
A Christmas Carol
Eine Weihnachtsgeschichte nach Charles Dickens
»Humbug!« – Für den alten, mürrischen und geizigen Ebenezer Scrooge ist Weihnachten Zeitverschwendung. Familie, Freunde und das Wohl anderer zählen nicht für ihn. Humbug eben! So schickt er jene, die Geld für die Armen sammeln, ohne einen Cent fort, verlangt von seinem Angestellten Bob Cratchit, dass er auch an den Weihnachtstagen früh morgens zur Arbeit erscheint, und die Weihnachtseinladung seines Neffen Fred wird ohne Dank verschmäht. Doch dann erscheint ihm nachts der Geist seiner verstorbenen Geschäftspartnerin Jacoba Marley. Eine geschundene Seele, die aufgrund ihrer Habgier und Selbstsucht dazu verdammt ist, ewig als Geist die Welt zu durchstreifen. Marley warnt Scrooge davor, dass ihm ein ähnliches Schicksal blüht, wenn er sich nicht bessert und kündigt ihrem Freund drei weitere Besuche aus dem Jenseits an. Diese Warnung nicht ernst nehmend, legt Scrooge sich schlafen – bis der erste der drei Geister an seinem Bett steht und sich mit ihm auf eine Reise in die Vergangenheit begibt. Schaffen es die Spukwesen, das Herz des alten Griesgrams zu erwärmen? Und wird Ebenezer Scrooge doch noch Weihnachten feiern?
Die Regisseurin Swaantje Lena Kleff inszeniert u.a. am Landestheater Linz, am Badischen Staatstheater Karlsruhe sowie regelmäßig am DNT. Nun wird sie Charles Dickens' Weihnachtsklassiker ins Große Haus zaubern. Ein (Vor-)Weihnachtsspaß für die ganze Familie!

A Bigger Bauhaus: Considering Art and Design by Female, LGBTQ, and Politically Active Bauhäusler
The Bauhaus is known for a handful of famous men, but over one
third of its 1,250 members were women. They were subject to higher admissions standards and often steered into the weaving workshop, but the institution produced some of the most dynamic female artists and designers of its time. In this talk, Elizabeth Otto examines not only the unsung women, but all manner of Bauhäusler who haunt the margins
of Bauhaus history, uncovering a movement that is vastly more diverse and paradoxical than previously assumed. Otto traces the surprising trajectories of the school’s engagement with gender fluidity, queer identities, and radical politics.

Weimar was quite the intellectual hotspot back in the day, with Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Bach, Liszt, Lucas Cranach and the Weimar School all spending time here. Goethe groupies will enjoy visiting his home, his tomb and the museum dedicated to him. If you’re in search of great food, visit during the Weimar Onion Market, held in October. (Just don’t forget your mints.)
Weimar is a city in the federal state of Thuringia, Germany. It is located between Erfurt in the west and Jena in the east, approximately 80 kilometres southwest of Leipzig, 170 kilometres north of Nuremberg and 170 kilometres west of Dresden.

Weimar is a city in central Germany. It's known as the birthplace of Weimar Classicism, a humanistic cultural movement. The Goethe & Schiller Monument in front of the German National Theater celebrates the 2 writers, who lived in the city. Goethe’s baroque residence is now the Goethe National Museum. The Schiller Museum is adjacent to the writer’s home. Bauhaus Museum Weimar has works by architect Walter Gropius.
The historical epicentre of Germany's 18th-century Enlightenment, Weimar is an essential stop for anyone with a passion for the country's history and culture. A pantheon of intellectual and creative giants lived and worked here: Goethe, Schiller, Bach, Cranach, Liszt, Nietzsche, Gropius, Herder, Feininger, Kandinsky – and the list goes on. You’ll see them memorialised on the streets, in museums and in reverently-preserved houses across town. In summer, Weimar’s many parks and gardens lend themselves to quiet contemplation of all this intellectual and cultural gravity (or allow you to take a break from it).
Weimar is also the place where, post WWI, the constitution of the German Reich, known by historians as the Weimar Republic (1919–33), was drafted, though there are strangely few reminders of this historical moment. Nearby, the unadorned, unaltered remains of the Buchenwald concentration camp provide sobering testament to the crimes of the subsequent Nazi regime.
Weimar is the town of Goethe and Schiller and is found in Thuringia (Thüringen) state, Germany. Weimar is a small town with lots of tourists, most of whom come in on coaches for day-visits. Roads can be congested in the mornings and evenings. The best and most convenient way is by train. Deutsche Bahn offers direct connections from Berlin, Leipzig and Erfurt. Weimar Hauptbahnhof is about a kilometre from Goetheplatz. Weimar is small and the best way is by foot or bike. Weimar has a public transport system but as a tourist you won't need it. Taxis are at night the best way when you feel lost and they are used to cater tourists.

Projected Thoughts
This is a film where we assisted the filmmaker, Michael Marianek, to create a visual impression of an original Bauhaus house - The 'Haus am Horn'. The film utilises stop motion photography in combination with the building and projected video imagery.
