Bauhaus in Exile: How the Nazis Scattered Germany's Modernist Architects

When the Nazis shut down the Bauhaus in 1933, its faculty and students scattered across the globe. This episode traces the exile of Bauhaus masters like Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and László Moholy-Nagy, and how they carried modernist ideas to new homes in the United States, Britain, and beyond. We explore the Bauhaus-Archiv in Berlin, the controversial legacy of Mies's Seagram Building, and the hidden stories of lesser-known Bauhäusler who rebuilt their lives in places like Tel Aviv's White City. How did a school that lasted only fourteen years come to shape the look of cities worldwide? Lucas and Luna discuss the fusion of art, industry, and politics that defined the Bauhaus — and how political persecution turned a German experiment into a global movement. #Bauhaus #BauhausExile #WalterGropius #LudwigMiesVanDerRohe #LászlóMoholyNagy #Modernism #Architecture #NaziGermany #WhiteCity #TelAviv #SeagramBuilding #NewBauhaus #BauhausArchiv #Dessau #Weimar #Exile #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
