Thing of the month July 2010:
Herbert Hirche's student ID at the Bauhaus
Herbert Hirche became student at the Bauhaus in the summer term of 1930. He posed for this photo on the famous flat roof of the school building at Dessau. In autumn 1932 the Bauhaus moved to Berlin. The change of location is visible on his student card: "dessau" is crossed out and replaced by a handwritten "berlin", Oskar Schlemmer's Bauhaus-Logo is stamped over with "bauhaus berlin". There was no time and no money to print new student cards. The Bauhaus got under increasing political pressure of the national socialists. A few months later it was definitely closed. Herbert Hirche is one of the last students to receive his "bauhaus-diplom" on April 1st, 1933.
