The Heimatschutz (“protecting the homeland”) movement was of vital importance for Germany’s construction sector. Its architectural aesthetics—developed under the auspices of the German League for the Protection of the Heimat (Bund Heimatschutz), which was founded in 1904—steadily gained influence when a national architectural style was called for. While the movement enjoyed varying degrees of support from the state under the Kaiser and during the Weimar period, the Nazi regime incorporated Heimatschutz architecture into the National Socialist construction ethos. The author takes three soundings of these waters, examining the emergence and development of Heimat-style architecture from the folkloric idea of Romanticism through to National Socialism. The volume is published in the theoretical series Analysis&Excess.
