The Mathildenhoehe Institute will celebrate the 150th birthday of Albin Müller (1871-1941) with the exhibition "Albin Müller: Architect, Designer and Teacher ". The show will emphasize Müller's professions as architect- designer and teacher in the years 1900 to 1914.
Muller's 150th birthday coincides with this year's recognition of Mathildenhoehe Darmstadt as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As a central source of inspiration, the Mathildenhoehe Darmstadt offered Müller unique opportunities to create buildings and spatial art from 1906 onwards. With a further focus on Magdeburg, the exhibition will highlight another city where the artist achieved great success as a teacher at the School of Arts from 1900 to 1906, and as a designer for various companies.
Albin Müller established a productive exchange with colleagues such as Fritz von Heider, as well as former members of the Darmstadt Artists' Colony: Peter Behrens and Paul Bürck. The strong links between the cities of Darmstadt and Magdeburg as German centres of the reform movement are manifested.
