4. UNESCO World Heritage - Fagus Factory
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 42 reviews
The Fagus factory was built in 1911 by architect and Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius and is known throughout the world as the first building conforming to the modern architectural style. The singular steel-and-glass architectural style enabled the architect to endow a medium-sized factory with an unusual appearance that broke with tradition. Fagus shoe lasts have been produced in this living monument for more than 100 years. This production process has now been enhanced by the corporate divisions associated with GreCon Electronics and Grecon Dimter Machine Building. Since the year 2011, this architectural masterpiece has numbered among the UNESCO World Heritage cultural sites. Visit the Fagus factory, retrace the journeys of Walter Gropius and Carl Benscheidt (the innovative founder of the company) and experience how tradition meets innovation and architecture lines up with production.

Of course, the main motive of the visit is the UNESCO world heritage status. Why did factory of shoe pads deserve this? Is it Walter Gropius and Bauhaus? Not only. Of course the Bauhaus is interesting, but to a greater extent lovers of architecture. However, ordinary tourists will also find their interest here. The main thing is the exhibition of shoes of the XX century. It turns out you can see history by looking only at your feet. A fashionable theme in historiography is the rejection of metanarratives in favor of such a view. Of course the tragic history of Germany will remain incomprehensible, but as an auxiliary topic why not? An additional bonus is a visit to the factory. I was on Saturday and couldn't make it. What a pity...
