„gern modern?“ Wohnkonzepte für Berlin nach 1945/Living Concepts for Berlin after 1945

Ausstellung zur deutschen Nachkriegsmoderne/Exhibition about German post-war modernism

„Die Musterwohnungen der Interbau […] markieren einen Höhepunkt der im Rückblick nahezu autoritär einzuschätzenden Wohnberatungsaktivitäten des Werkbunds:  [Der Werkbund] richtete in mehreren Städten „Wohnberatungsstellen“ ein. […] Zu sehen gab es empfehlenswerte Haushaltsdinge vom Tapetenmuster bis zum Teeservice. Die Erziehung zum guten Geschmack und zum richtigen Wohnen sollte auch zu einer geordneten Lebensgestaltung führen.“

“The showcase apartments of the Interbau […] marked a high point in what effectively appears, in retrospect, to be authoritarian home advice activities: […] the Werkbund […] created home advice centres in numerous cities. […] They also displayed recommended household items from wallpaper samples to tea services. The education in good taste and proper living should also lead to a well-organized lifestyle.”
