Bernhard Stadler workshops

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bernhard Stadler workshops were opened by the master carpenter Bernhard Stadler in 1907, the year the Deutscher Werkbund was founded , as a Werkbund member in Paderborn . An apprenticeship school was part of the company.

Structure and history of the company

In accordance with the declared goals of the Deutscher Werkbund to combine craft, technology, industry, art, business, politics and society, Bernhard Stadler carpenters, architects, interior designers, merchants and artists worked together in the workshops. Stadler had already hired the designer Max Heidrich in 1905 , who from 1910 to 1928 headed the workshops as interior designer , in which more than 100 journeymen and apprentices were employed by 1914. The handicraft business had quickly developed into a furniture factory that delivered to department stores in major cities and advertised its products. Otto Stadler sought advice from Hermann Muthesius on the future relationship between trade and industry , who wrote to him on April 4, 1910: “Dear Mr. Stadler! The adaptation of the terms factory and craft cannot logically be carried out at all, and every decision will result in injustices. ”The workshops of Bernhard Stadler were featured in well-known specialist journals, and Max Heidrich was considered to be next to Peter Behrens , Henry van de Velde and a. as one of the formative designers of his time. From 1926 to 1928 Paul Griesser took over the artistic direction and equipped ships with the painter and graphic artist Willi Becker. In 1928 a major fire destroyed the workshops that were not rebuilt.

Handicrafts

Together with the United Workshops for Art in Crafts in Munich, the Dresden Workshops for Craftsmanship , the Wiener Werkstätte , the Dresden Workshops for German Household Goods , the Workshops for Home Furnishings in Munich and the Saalecker Workshops in Saaleck , the Bernhard Stadler workshops in Paderborn were among the first Reform movement of craft, art and industry of the German Werkbund, which ended in 1914 with the Cologne Werkbund exhibition .

As before with the Polich-Stadler house at the International Building Exhibition in Leipzig in 1913 , the Bernhard Stadler workshops showed their full range of services and furnishings at the Cologne Werkbund exhibition in 1914 with the "Bernhard Stadler Summer House" (based on the patent of the Siebels Holzhaus- und Barackenbau company in Düsseldorf-Rath) with eleven rooms. Peter Jessen commented critically on the furnishings and fittings: “When I entered the small summer house of the workshops Bernhard Stadler, Paderborn, a wooden structure by Siebel in Dusseldorf, I expected to find the down-to-earth, bourgeois carpenter's style that otherwise appealed to us as being so Westphalian. It does not seem to me to be a favorable sign for our time that the designer Max Heidrich considered it necessary to glide over with more lively shapes and more colorful colors into effects that make one think of the kind of the 'parlor', the Sunday cleaning of the people, theirs Workday clothes look so good. A big effort: eleven rooms around the stately hall. In it also the lighting device for good local work (workshops for metalwork, Paderborn). But less art and only craft would have been more. "
