bauhaus architecture

The Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known as the Bauhaus (German for 'building house'), was a German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts and the fine arts. The school became famous for its approach to design, which attempted to unify individual artistic vision with the principles of mass production and emphasis on function. Along with the doctrine of functionalism, the Bauhaus initiated the conceptual understanding of architecture and design.

hannah hoch

Hannah Höch was a German Dada artist. She is best known for her work of the Weimar period, when she was one of the originators of photomontage. Photomontage, or fotomontage, is a type of collage in which the pasted items are actual photographs, or photographic reproductions pulled from the press and other widely produced media.

otto dix

Wilhelm Heinrich Otto Dix was a German painter and printmaker, noted for his ruthless and harshly realistic depictions of German society during the Weimar Republic and the brutality of war.

development of car

Audi type K (top right):

The car has been seen as one of the most technically
advanced cars of its time. It had a four-cylinder in-line 3.6 litre engine, an
aluminium cylinder block with replaceable cylinder liners. It had a maximum
power of 49 hp at 2200 rpm, which was transmitted to the rear wheels, using a
four-speed transmission. Claimed top speed was 95 km/h.

Mercedes Benz SSK (bottom right):

The SSK was the last car designed for Mercedes-Benz
by Ferdinand Porsche before he left to found his own company. The SSK chassis
was 48CM shorter than its predecessor the Modell S to make the car even lighter
and more agile for racing, especially short races and hillclimbs.

Mercedes-benz 170(top left):

The 170 played a key role in enabling Daimler-Benz to
overcome the economic crisis. As total of 4 438 units were built in 1932, that
number alone being higher than the previous year's aggregate production volume
of all Mercedes-Benz passenger car models.

BMW R32(bottom left):

Until then all motorbikes followed the Douglas layout, that
had the cylinders assembled in line, making the refrigeration of the back
cylinder of a two stroke engine very hard. Engineers at BMW decided to place
them side by side, this layout is used in BMW motorbikes to this day.

Metropolis

Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist science-fiction silent film directed by Fritz Lang and written by Thea von Harbou in collaboration with Lang from von Harbou's 1925 novel of the same name (which was intentionally written as a treatment). It stars Gustav Fröhlich, Alfred Abel, Rudolf Klein-Rogge, and Brigitte Helm. Erich Pommer produced it in the Babelsberg Studio for Universum Film A.G. (UFA). Metropolis is regarded as a pioneering science-fiction film, being among the first feature-length ones of that genre. Filming took place over 17 months in 1925–26 at a cost of more than five million Reichsmarks, or the equivalent of about €21 million.

George Grosz

George Grosz was a German artist known especially for his caricatural drawings and paintings of Berlin life in the 1920s. He was a prominent member of the Berlin Dada and New Objectivity groups during the Weimar Republic. He emigrated to the United States in 1933, and became a naturalized citizen in 1938. Abandoning the style and subject matter of his earlier work, he exhibited regularly and taught for many years at the Art Students League of New York. In 1959 he returned to Berlin, where he died shortly afterwards.

Richard Strauss

Richard Georg Strauss was a German composer and conductor best known for his tone poems and operas. Considered a leading composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras, he has been described as a successor of Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt. Along with Gustav Mahler, he represents the late flowering of German Romanticism, in which pioneering subtleties of orchestration are combined with an advanced harmonic style.

dadaism

Dada or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century, with early centres in Zürich, Switzerland, at the Cabaret Voltaire (in 1916), founded by Hugo Ball with his companion Emmy Hennings, and in Berlin in 1917. New York Dada began in 1915, and after 1920 Dada flourished in Paris. Dadaist activities lasted until the mid 1920s.

Rudolf Nebel, development of rocketry

Rudolf Nebel (21 March 1894 – 18 September 1978) was a spaceflight advocate active in Germany's amateur rocket group, the Verein für Raumschiffahrt (VfR – "Spaceflight Society") in the 1930s and in rebuilding German rocketry following World War II.

Werner Heinsberg, quantum physics

Werner Karl Heisenberg was a German theoretical physicist, one of the main pioneers of the theory of quantum mechanics, and a principal scientist in the Nazi nuclear weapons program during World War II. He published his Umdeutung paper in 1925, a major reinterpretation of old quantum theory. In the subsequent series of papers with Max Born and Pascual Jordan, during the same year, his matrix formulation of quantum mechanics was substantially elaborated. He is known for the uncertainty principle, which he published in 1927. Heisenberg was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the creation of quantum mechanics".
