Arts and Crafts School, Weimar, Art faculty building in Weimar, Germany

The Van de Velde Building features a wide spiral staircase in its central area and contains teaching spaces, workrooms, and administrative offices for the Faculty of Art and Design.

Henry van de Velde designed and constructed this L-shaped educational structure between 1905 and 1906 for the Grand Ducal Saxon School of Arts and Crafts.

The interior walls display reconstructed murals by Oskar Schlemmer from 1923, exploring the relationship between human figures and architectural space.

The faculty building maintains regular exhibitions of student projects, thesis presentations, and artistic works throughout the academic calendar.

Following the 1930 appointment of Paul Schultze-Naumburg as director, the original Bauhaus-style murals were replaced with traditional German folk ornaments.
