  • For Dr. Annemarie Jaeggi, director of the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung “the roofing ceremony marks another milestone on the way to the museum’s reopening. I am lookinig forward to celebrating this tradition together with the trades involved in the project – and special thanks to all craftspeople for their tireless engagement.”


  • Dr. Markus Klimmer, head of the Bauhaus-Archiv e.V.: “I have already taken care of lots of building projects and rarely have I been addressed peoudly by so many craftspeople: Never had they done something similar great, exceptional and demanding. Walter Gropius would have loved it since he was the one saying: architectur, sculpture and painting must be redirected towards the crafts in oder to jointly create the building of the future. That’s exactly what we see here.”
