Current exhibition at the Bauhaus Archive/ Museum of Design is dedicated to a special building programme that was launched in Berlin during the Weimar Republic. The programme was based on one of the pledges in German constitution which said that every German citizen had a right for  “a humane dwelling place”. To incarnate this principle, there were numerous settlements constructed all around the country, with many German modernist artists taking part in the project. Nowadays the most outstanding of these buildings got the “historic monument” statuses and are protected by the government. Some of them, like Falkenberg, Schillerpark and Hufeisensiedlung Britz have been nominated to be included in the World Heritage List. The exhibition “Berlin Settlements from the 1920s” is focused on these monuments. In addition to the exhibition, there will be guided tours around the above mentioned settlements organised September 8^th and 9^th.
