The Muche-Schlemmer duplex
The Bauhaus lecturers Georg Muche (1895-1947) and Oskar Schlemmer
(1888-1943) during the time when they worked in Dessau.
Georg Muche worked as a master-craftsman at the Bauhaus from 1920 through 1927. At first, in 1921 and 1922, he taught the preliminary course but then took over management of the Exhibitions Commission for the 1923 Bauhaus exhibition. It was on the occasion of this exhibition that the "Haus am Horn" was built that he had designed. From 1925 onwards he worked as the master-craftsman in charge of the weaving room.
When the Muche-Schlemmer duplex at Ebertallee 65-67 was restored the last surviving building of the group was complete. This one, like the others, had had to suffer a number of disfiguring changes in the 1930s; some of the studio windows were bricked up, chimneys added, and the internal layout changed.
