The Path of Modernism

From the World Heritage of Wrocław to that of Dessau: Architecture 1900–1930

Gert Kähler

An unusual journey between Wrocław and Dessau, from the World Cultural Heritage of the Centennial Hall (1913) to the World Cultural Heritage of Bauhaus dating from the 1920s: and there are many high points of modern architecture in between—in Görlitz, Dresden-Hellerau, Leipzig or Chemnitz, for example. Almost all the great modernist architects are gathered together here, from Hans Poelzig and Henry van de Velde to Heinrich Tessenow, Richard Riemerschmid, Hans Scharoun, Erich Mendelsohn and even Walter Gropius. But the focus is also on the cities themselves; at a very early date, their progressive building councilors thought hard about European urban development—about buildings ranging from striking tower blocks to top-quality mass housing. This publication illustrates an important chapter of our architectural history in an original, condensed-format travel guide.
