Bauhaus and politics

This bachelor thesis examines an interwar period in Germany, so-called the Weimar republic. This thesis aims to clarify circumstances, which entitled to the end of one of the most influential art schools - Bauhaus. Interwar Germany was a state where the political clash was almost the order of the day. The reason was the disability to settle on the arrangement of the new state. During that time, the coalitions were unstable, economic problems arose, and the war failure disillusioned people. The skepticism about the republic in-between the citizens increased, and they started to support extremists. On the other hand, the revolution in the art sphere began. German avant-garde arose. The school arose and also died out at the same time as the republic did. This fact creates a perfect case to describe the political atmosphere during that period. The thesis is divided into three parts - the phases of the republic development, which are almost the same as in Bauhaus. The stages of Bauhaus development are a combination of internal and external factors. Analysis of these factors would be the main point of this thesis.
