Before the Bauhaus re-evaluates the political, architectural, and
artistic cultures of pre-World War I Germany. As contradictory and
conflict-ridden as the German Second Reich itself, the world of
architects, craftsmen and applied-arts 'artists' were not immune to
the expansionist, imperialist, and capitalist struggles that
transformed Germany in the quarter-century leading up to the First
World War. In this study, John Maciuika brings together
architectural and design history, political history, social and
cultural geography. He substantially revises our understanding of
the roots of the Bauhaus and, by extension, the historical roots of
twentieth-century German architecture and design. His book sheds
new light on hotly contested debates pertaining to the history of
Germany in the pre-World War I era, notably the issues surrounding
'modernity' and 'anti-modernity' in Wilhelmine Germany, the
character and effectiveness of the government administration, and
the role played by the nation's most important architects, members
of the rising bourgeois class, in challenging the traditional
aristocracy at the top of the new German economic and social order.
