If you’re wondering what Bauhaus architecture looks like, you’re standing in front of a great example of it right here.This was the Jewish girl’s school, it was designed by Alexander Beer and it opened in 1930.The goal was to create a trade school so Jewish girls in this very poor district could learn the skills they would need in to work in the small factories and workshops in Berlin Mitte, of which there were countless hundreds.The Nazis closed it in 1942. The school reopened as a public school in 1950 in the East German period, but after German reunification in 1989, it was closed in 1996 and then the building was restored. Today there are galleries and restaurants inside and do please take a walk through ground floor hallways; it’s a marvel of Weimar architecture. Alexander Beer was a talented architect who could not find work in a country of rapidly rising antisemitism, but the Berlin Jewish community gladly took him on.
