About Haus am Horn#
Haus am Horn is an experimental house in Weimar, Germany, constructed in 1923 for the Bauhaus exhibition and designed as a model dwelling to demonstrate the school’s principles. The building is an early, intact example of functionalist design and integrated interior planning from the Bauhaus movement.
The single-family house was part of the Weimar Bauhaus’s practical and pedagogical projects and retains a largely original layout and furniture concepts associated with early modernist domestic design. The structure and interior arrangements illustrate the movement’s focus on mass-producible, rational living spaces.
Haus am Horn is located in the north-eastern part of Weimar, within the ensemble of Bauhaus-era sites and near other cultural institutions tied to early 20th-century German modernism.
