On August 20, 2026, a broad coalition of cultural, design, craftsmanship, architectural, and church institutions signed the Bauhaus-Manifest 2026. The document reaffirms commitment to the principles of artistic freedom, interdisciplinary collaboration, and cultural innovation as foundational to a democratic society. It also calls for defending these values against anti-democratic threats. Signatories include the Akademie der Künste, Bundesarchitektenkammer, Deutsche Bischofskonferenz, and UNESCO Germany, among others. The manifesto highlights the Bauhaus’s historical role as a UNESCO World Heritage site, founded in 1919 and dissolved in 1933 under Nazi pressure. It emphasizes the importance of cultural institutions in fostering open dialogue and societal progress, while rejecting nationalist ideologies. The initiative aims to preserve the Bauhaus’s legacy as a symbol of creative and democratic values.
