The Schminke House en miniature. With three sheets of heavy paper, you can build your own Schminke House on a 1 to 100 scale as display model or for colouring with crayons. Suitable for children 10 years and older.

Just in time for spring, we are now offering the matching noodle-steamer accessory: The summer scarf "Light spots" wraps wonderfully around the neck, adorns every piece of clothing, protects the new hairdo and simply looks great. Part of the revenues will go to the association "Kamswyker Kreis " and the preservation of the "Bunte Reihe " - an early work by Hans Scharoun.

Our favourite house and its best sides, captured by our number-one photographer Marcel Schröder. The set contains 10 different pictures of the inside and outside. Almost too good to be mailed.

The new TOPOMOMO book presents 30 buildings of the interwar period along the Saxon-Czech border. The influence of the art schools in Dessau, Prague and Wroclaw gave rise to a veritable "land of modern experiments" in the space between. The success stories of courageous owners and their architects led to a cross-border architectural heritage that holds a huge potential for today's rather rural region. Recommended for explorer types!

It offers a unique, private and often refreshing perspective on these icons of the avant-garde - also with the youngest daughter of the Schminke familiy. Absolutely wonderful!

Hugo Häring was one of the few representatives of the “neues bauen” who dealt with the relationship between the “intellectual” and the “technical” human. In 1950/51 he built the house at Mettenberger Weg 17 in Biberach/Riß. The results of the detailed, architectural archaeological investigations of the "House Mettenberger Weg 17" are presented in this book in a particularly descriptive manner, also understandable for the interested layperson and appealing with plenty of pictures and drawings. It is looked at in its architectural and cultural-historical context.
