Deutsche Filmarchitektur / German Film Architecture 1918-1933

The period of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933), which was marked by many social, economic and political upheavals as a result of the German defeat in the First World War and the November Revolution, offered artists and cultural workers a field of experimentation that brought forth pioneering schools such as the Bauhaus and new styles such as the Expressionism. It was during this epoch that the new mass medium of cinema enjoyed its heyday.
