BAUHAUS MUSEUM WEIMAR

Lighting design and exclusive special luminaires for the Bauhaus Museum Weimar

To mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus, the Bauhaus Museum Weimar was rebuilt as a central place for commemoration and engagement with modernism. Over 536 architectural firms participated in the international competition; the design by the Berlin-based firm Atelier Heike Hanada was realized.

Our lighting solution

A holistic concept for architecture, conservation and museum practice

For this extraordinary project, Fischer & Partner developed the entire lighting concept as well as tailor-made lighting systems – tailored to the architectural specifications, conservation requirements and museum use.


Special feature: All lights were developed and manufactured exclusively for this project. This resulted in unique, custom-made lights that are only available in this form at the Bauhaus Museum Weimar.

Elements of lighting design

  • Accentuated object lighting for exhibits
  • Zoned room lighting levels for orientation and atmosphere
  • Exclusively developed special lights, manufactured specifically for the project
  • Sustainable implementation in the spirit of the Bauhaus idea


The lighting concept combines functional clarity with atmospheric depth. It creates a sophisticated, calm, and precise lighting mood – entirely in the spirit of the Bauhaus: technically sophisticated, minimalist in design, and sustainably implemented.
