In 1925, Alfred Arndt was released from his studies at the Bauhaus by Walter Gropius to complete the »Haus des Volkes« in Probstzella, one of the most important Bauhaus ensembles in Thuringia. He took over the shell of the building and realized it as an event and guest house on behalf of the entrepreneur Franz Itting. The Bauhaus workshops were responsible for the complete interior fit-out of the multi-storey building. The striking cubic building with its roof tower and large modern garden still characterizes the townscape of Probstzella today. In 2005, the impressive building was reopened as a Bauhaus hotel and event venue, the former »Haus des Volkes«, after being restored in line with its listed status. The faithful restoration takes visitors on a journey into the past. The spirit of the Bauhaus can be felt above all in the „Blauer Saal“ restaurant with its coordinated colors and typical Bauhaus elements. The building also houses a museum with changing exhibitions.
