Berlin Bauhaus Lineage Map: Read Modernism at Three Scales

Read the temporary Bauhaus-Archiv, Haus Lemke and the Neue Nationalgalerie as an archive, a house and a public hall instead of treating Berlin modernism as a checklist.

A place-linked map for visitors who want to understand the connection between Bauhaus ideas and later Mies van der Rohe work in Berlin.

Select one real Berlin coordinate to see its photograph, its scale and the useful question it asks. The result is a lens for looking, not a timed route.

Read three scales

Choose the temporary Bauhaus-Archiv for ideas and objects, Haus Lemke for domestic scale, or the Neue Nationalgalerie for a public-scale Mies van der Rohe connection.

Use the map as a reading board

Each point brings one photograph and one question into focus. The map shows a relationship across Berlin, not a timed itinerary or a promise that every place is open.

Check the institution before travelling

The Bauhaus-Archiv is temporarily at Knesebeckstraße 1 while its original building is being renovated. Opening details, exhibitions and group arrangements can change.
