Aspectos Relevantes / Relevant aspects: The Werkbundarchiv – Museum der Dinge (Werkbund Archive – Museum of Things) chronicles the product culture of the 20th and 21st centuries, a culture marked by mass production and industrial manufacturing.
At the core of our institution is the archive of the Deutsche Werkbund (DWB). Founded in 1907, this group of German artists, designers, and manufacturers was one of the leading organizations pushing for a cultural utopia achieved through design and way-of-life reforms at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Werkbundarchiv – Museum der Dinge is as an autonomous organization, aware of and stemming from this Werkbund tradition. Our goal is twofold: to preserve and document material associated with and advocated by the Werkbund, and to foster contemporary interpretation and reflection thereupon.

Historia / History: The historical key topic of the Museum is the Deutsche Werkbund (DWB). As an association of artists, industrialists and political figures founded in 1907, the Werkbund was one of the utopian cultural movements of the early 20th century, and was aimed at promoting modern, functional design in industrial products, architecture and environments.
Quality, sensitivity to materials, objectivity, functionalism and durability were the guiding principles of the movement. The Werkbund’s main purpose, in addition to promoting the modern design and production of objects and ensembles, was aesthetic education as a way to individual self-expression.
