In 2019, the Bauhaus institutions are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of this groundbreaking school. The first Bauhaus in Weimar left few but remarkable traces beyond the city limits throughout Thuringia during its six years until the move to Dessau in 1925. In addition to the UNESCO World Heritage sites of the Bauhaus in Weimar, the lesser-known Bauhaus can be found in hidden locations in Erfurt, Probstzella, Gera, and Greiz. In rural areas, former Bauhaus students and their pupils dedicated themselves to projects that have often been unjustly forgotten. This volume invites readers to explore and discover the unknown, early Bauhaus and its impact and legacy. For instance, the work and production sites in the region ensured the embedding of the Bauhaus idea well beyond the duration of the Bauhaus in Weimar.
