Bauhaus in sight: AfD criticizes art with questionable views

The AfD is the focus of the criticism after an application in the Magdeburg state parliament, which calls for a fundamental re-evaluation of the Bauhaus heir. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus in Dessau in the coming year, AfD MP Tillschneider argued that the Bauhaus's "one-sided glorification" had to be regarded as a rape of human needs. The reaction of the other parties in the state parliament was sharp, with allegations that the AfD propagated National Socialist ideas.

Thomas Bauer-Friedrich, director of the Moritzburg Art Museum, described the initiative as threatening and warned of an intervention in freedom of art and science. This development raises questions about academic and artistic self -determination, while the debate in the state parliament is becoming increasingly hot.
