Resumen de Ein Streit um die richtige Moderne. Henry van de Velde, Max Littmann und der Bau des Weimarer Hoftheaters
The writer discusses the Hoftheater designed by Max Littmann in Weimar, Germany. Many authors have compared the theater, which was built between 1906 and 1907 and renamed Deutsches Nationaltheater in 1919, unfavorably with an unrealized design for the theater based on ideas by Henry van de Velde. The writer argues that the lesser known Littmann deserves recognition for his work and influence, particularly in relation to a realistic assessment of the relation between functionality and design.
