The German interwar avant-garde was one of the primary forces driving European cultural innovation and modernism between 1918 and 1933, innovations that still influence artistic practice, theory, and arts education today, almost 100 years later. However, to date, no comprehensive study exists of the relationship between individual war experience and the immediate post response of avant-garde architecture. This study will pursue several important, interrelated questions: What were the disparate war experiences of German architects and did they have different effects on Weimar cultural production? Did political orientation play a part in support for the war? In aesthetic choices? What changes occurred in avant-garde architectural practice after 1918? How do they compare with pre-war positions and practices and expectations for post-war outcomes?
