Lonely Planet review for Haus Hohe Pappeln
Belgian art-nouveau architect, designer and painter, Henry van de Velde is considered a pioneer of modernity. In 1902, he founded the arts and crafts seminar in Weimar that Walter Gropius later developed into the Bauhaus. For nine years, starting in 1908, van de Velde and his family lived in the Haus Hohe Pappeln, which looks a bit like a ship on its side and features natural stone, stylised chimneys, loggias and oversized windows. One floor is open for touring and features furniture that van de Velde designed for a local family. To get here, take bus 1 or 12 to Papiergraben.
