Haus am Horn was built for the 1923 Bauhaus exhibition and is the only architecture actually realised by the Bauhaus in Weimar itself.
Designed by Georg Muche, with Walter Gropius's office overseeing construction and Bauhaus workshops contributing to the interior, it was conceived as a model for modern living. New materials, efficient planning and integrated design were supposed to demonstrate how architecture and household objects could work as one system.
The project is a useful correction to the 'Gropius did everything' version of Bauhaus history. Muche designed the house; workshops and multiple designers contributed. Modernism was collaborative even when later histories preferred a few famous surnames.
The house was also genuinely experimental. That means not every idea became universal. Model homes are prototypes, and prototypes exist partly to discover what people like, dislike or cannot afford.
After the Bauhaus left Weimar, the building was altered for ordinary residential use. Later conservation removed additions to recover more of the 1923 character. That produces an interesting authenticity question: is the 'truer' house the experimental original or the one residents adapted for decades? Museums usually choose the historically significant design moment. Social history might care about the alterations too.
The Bauhaus promised to connect design with modern society. Within a decade Germany would be under a dictatorship that rejected much modernist culture as degenerate or un-German, while also using modern technologies of propaganda, administration and construction.
We now walk north toward the former Gauforum area. The mood changes deliberately. Bauhaus modernity and Nazi modernity are not the same project, but they existed in the same city within a generation.
Do not interpret the next architecture as an aesthetic disagreement. It belonged to a violent political regime.
