The Masters' Houses, created by Walter Gropius, suffered detrimentally
due to their ever changing history. In spite of this they still
show a high level of quality.
The financial basis for an authentic restoration could only be established
after 1991 even though the buildings were under protection as early
as 1970. The restoration process began in 1992 with work on the
Feininger House. Following their inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage
List in 1996, it was possible to restore the Kandinsky/Klee House
and the Muche/Schlemmer House. Since then more than 300 000 guests
have visited the Masters' Houses.
The Masters' Houses Foundation aims to fully support the restored
cultural heritage in its business endeavours and in its long term
preservation. Furthermore it will work towards a completion of the
ensemble.
You can support the work of the foundation by your donation.
We will be pleased to inform you of the up to date state of the
project. Gerhard.Lambrecht[at]dessau.de
