The Bauhaus 1919-1933
The Bauhaus was an art school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts
Bauhaus is German for house of construction.
The founder Walter Gropius was an architect during the first years of its existence it did not have an architecture department.
It was founded with the idea of creating a total work of art in which all arts including architecture would eventually be brought together.
The school existed in three German cities Weimar from 1919 to 1925 Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933.
In 1933 the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from Nazi-led government which had claimed that it was a center of communist intellectualism.
Though the school was closed the staff continued to spread their knowledge of techniques across the world.
