Garden House Auerbach Jena Monument preservation objective

The "Haus Auerbach" in Jena is one of the few built testimonies of the building office Gropius from his Weimar period. In 1924 it was built in collaboration with the architect Adolf Meyer for the Auerbach family.
After a phase of only nine years of use of the house and garden by the builders, the Auerbach couple, a long slumber followed with varying intensity for the house.
The current owners restored the house consistently and lovingly. With the monument preservation goal a tool is available, in order to develop the garden again to an equal partner for the house. Garden and house form a creative unit. Even if it cannot be proven that the known garden plans from the Gropius office were implemented, the garden still recognizably continues the tectonics of the building. The work shows how the garden can be used sensibly by the owners and developed into an even stronger independent element of the ensemble "Haus Auerbach".
