The Haus am Horn is an icon of modern architecture and the first concrete example of Bauhaus design. It is located in Weimar and was built in 1923 as an experimental house for the first Bauhaus exhibition, the school founded by Walter Gropius. This building represents the practical implementation of the movement's revolutionary principles: functionality, minimalism, and integration of art, craft, and technology.
The structure, designed by architect Georg Muche, is characterized by its square floor plan, innovative use of materials, and interior spaces designed for modern everyday life. Each room was designed with a specific function to optimize the spaces and minimize ornamentation. Original furniture and faithful reproductions allow for an immersive experience in the world of Bauhaus.
Today, the Haus am Horn is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Classical Weimar and Bauhaus" and an essential destination for architects, designers, and modernism enthusiasts. The museum offers a permanent exhibition and guided tours that tell the history of the house and its revolutionary context.
Located just a few minutes from the historic center of Weimar, the Haus am Horn is an ideal starting point to discover the architectural heritage of the Bauhaus in Thuringia.
