Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 352 | Origin: GER | BA Seq Num: 89627

Stirring and full of stories: About the Bauhaus, the GDR's star architect, two women seeking to become emancipated, and the pitfalls of the system.

There is the charismatic idealist Hermann Henselmann, imbued with the ideas of the Bauhaus and the avant-garde, who rose to become East Berlin's chief architect after the war and was expected to compete with the West Berliners around Scharoun & Co. The Berlin TV Tower, the Stalinallee, the Leipzig University Tower are inextricably linked with his name.

The price, of course: he constantly had to maneuver and sometimes grovel to save at least the foundations of his modernist ideas from the stuffy ideas of the political leadership. And above all there is Henselmann's wife Isi, highly gifted, who also wanted to work as an architect but had to struggle with a family growing to eight children
