HeikeJanka@pallenberg Utterly true. Bauhaus never really belonged to its time alone – it keeps resurfacing because it was fundamentally timeless.
KielKontrovers Blog@jankaheike @pallenberg but Bauhaus did not hate Nazis. Like Fritz Ertl, who helped build Auschwitz https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_Ertl
@kielkontrovers @pallenberg Bauhaus is an architectural and design movement, not a morally homogeneous bloc.
Acknowledging the style and its ideas doesn’t mean glorifying every individual biography connected to it.
History tends to be complicated. People make choices — some admirable, some deeply troubling.
Reducing an entire era to one person feels too simplistic to me.

@jankaheike @pallenberg its not just one individual
@kielkontrovers @pallenberg Of course it wasn’t just one individual. Historical entanglements are rarely isolated.
My point was simply that movements and individual biographies shouldn’t be collapsed into one another.
