Was mir machen und was unsere Handlungsfelder sind?
The Deutscher Werkbund was founded in 1907 as an economic and cultural association by twelve designers and twelve companies with the aim of ‘refining commercial work through the interaction of art, industry and crafts’. Since then, it has been working for the quality design of the human environment. Independent and non-profit, it pursues its goals with projects such as the Werkbund Siedlung am Weissenhof. As an interdisciplinary organisation, it brings together architects, urban planners, artists, designers, craftsmen, manufacturers, journalists, lawyers and culturally-socially committed individuals in ten regional Werkbund associations.
