Factory revitalised!

Since last summer, we have been working on our participatory project ‘Fabrik reanimiert’ about the future of the former pasta factory of thge Schminke family next door. All important information, dates and a brief overview of the history of the factory can be found here: www.fabrik-reanimiert.de

We are currently trialling various ideas for using the ground floor of the factory, all of which are open to the public. We are looking forward to many guests, interested parties and a lot of participation.

So many more icons...

Last year, the fantastic network ICONIC HOUSES turned 10 years old! We are very proud to have been part of it since the very beginning and to call ourselves a "Member of Iconic Houses". Taking a look at the international networkʻs website you can browse through a total of 183 houses , every single one more spectacular than the last. And you can even spend the night in a few of them...

We are very happy and grateful for the great work of Iconic Houses and the exchange with other institutions provided by the network.

So once again, even though a little late: Happy 10th anniversary!

TOPOMOMO started!

We had a good start with our project TOPOMOMO and were able to conclude our call for tenders. After an extensive evaluation process we accepted the Institut für neue Industriekultur GmbH, short INIK. After numerous online meetings we are very happy about the well working cooperation and are currently working on sorting out and researching places.

TOPOMOMO continued!

Our project TOPOMOMO on modernist buildings will be continued. For the next two years we will be researching the architecture of the 1920s and 30s together with the TU Liberec along the Saxon-Czech border. We are incredibly happy!

The project is funded by the European Union and the "Europäischen Fonds für regionale Entwicklung".

New Multimediatour thanks to LEADER-program

The development of our new multimedia tour has begun. Thanks to the support of the "Entwicklungsprogramm für den ländlichen Raum Sachsen (EPLR)" and its program "LEADER" the tour is in production. With up-to-date digital content and several languages we bring Modernism back into the Schminke House.

Crowdfunding: The Schminke House on your smartphone

Starting on November 2nd, 2020

We have long dreamed of modernizing the tour through the Schminke House. So far we have only been able to offer audio guides in addition to personal tours. We finally have the opportunity to develop a new multimedia tour that works simply on the smartphone. Our visitors will be able to experience the house and its history in a completely new way in the future through multilingualism, contemporary design and the inclusion of images and videos. Guests without a smartphone can still hear the revised tour on our audio guides.

We have been planning the development of the new tour for almost three years. Funding applications were written, revised and finally submitted. We are still missing a manageable sum for the final financing of the project. With your support starting on November 2^nd, 2020, on startnext we can take the final step!

If the financing is successful, the content of the tour should be completed by the end of the year. Among other things, this means having the tour produced in all four languages and then adding numerous pictures and film sequences. We will put the finishing touches on the tour at the beginning of next year. With the start of the new season, we hope to see numerous visitors trying out the new tour.

Bauhaus 2019

100 Years of Bauhaus!

In 1919, Walter Gropius established the Staatliche Bauhaus in Weimar, laying the foundations for a modernist collaboration between arts and crafts. The joint education of architects, artists, designers and artisans was indeed avant-garde, and produced ground-breaking ideas, concepts, designs, furniture, buildings and utensils in the years to follow.

The 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus is in 2019. The Bauhaus Centenary will be celebrated in Dessau, but also many other cities of the Bauhaus Association with a variety of events, projects and new collaborations.

Alongside the Dessau Bauhaus and the Prague Academy of the Fine Arts, it was the Breslau (Wrocław) State Academy of Arts which was a key driver for the training of modernist architects in the 1920s and 30s. The architect of the Schminke House, Hans Scharoun, was appointed professor in 1925 and considerably marked the school’s ‘organic’ style. He liaised closely with the protagonists of the Bauhaus in Dessau. Specialist interchange and expert intercourse between all the different schools was an integral part in the development of modernism and the avant-garde educational concept applied in Dessau, Breslau and Prague. Therefore, the Schminke House will be a part of the celebrations around the Bauhaus Centennial. The information on this page will be regularly updated.

Recently we published our new book "Der moderne Blick - The modern view" that presents 20 modernist buildings in Saxony. The book in German and English concentrates on the stories behind the buildings and comes with a special augmented reality app for your tablet or smartphone. You can buy it at our Online-Shop and find more information here: www.dermoderneblick.de .

TOPOMOMO

Boldness in building - Rediscovered!

Modernist architecture, or the ‘International Style’ - regardless of borders between countries, was in its heyday during the 1920s and 1930s very relevant for the entire region we now call the ‘Trinational Triangle’. The rise of industrialization and the resulting new prosperity of individuals led to a flourishing of ‘New Objectivity’ in particular in then newly formed Czechoslovakia. The area in-between the potentially conflicting cities of Dessau, Prague, and Breslau (Wrocław) became a ‘landscape of experimentation’ that was influenced by all the different design philosophies.

Today, the region along the Saxon-Czech border is of a rather rural nature. This is the reason why this former industrial region, despite the glories of its past and a great number of excellent examples of modernist architecture from the Interwar period, is easily being overlooked even by experts in the field of building culture. In the course of our TOPOMOMO project we have begun to explore modernism across the rural German-Czech borderland. In collaboration with the Institut für neue Industriekultur, the Institute of New Industrial Culture in Cottbus, the project researches 32 noteworthy buildings in the area between Bautzen, Görlitz, Weißwasser and Jablonec nad Nisou, and has presented its findings in a travel guide. The website provides an interactive trip planner for independent tourists, including short descriptions on all structures.
The project currently strives to expand its network towards the cities of Plauen and Karlovy Vary. For current information, please visit TOPOMOMO on Facebook .

Strengthening our region’s economy and cooperation with local enterprises is a matter particularly close to our hearts, which we value just as highly as partnerships at European level. Our corporate design is created by the Ahoi-Büro design studio in Dresden, printing is taken care of by Druckpol in Löbau. Our ‘Haus-Schminke-Bags’ are produced in the von Kleist canvas manufacture in Neukirch. Our ‘Haus-Schminke Apple Brandy’ was distilled in the Spirituosen-Manufaktur in Kirschau-Schirgiswalde, and our latest book ‘Kelly Ship in Heavy Seas’ was published in cooperation with the Sächsische Zeitung daily newspaper.

We are particularly passionate about the future of young entrepreneurs in Upper Lusatia as we are about the potential of the local creative industry. We were happy to host a number of events by various start-up initiatives in our house during the past years.

We are a member of the European network Iconic Houses and maintain close ties to the Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czech Republic. We are always open to new networks and initiatives. Simply contact us!
