Loheland Photography Workshop - Picturing a New Generation of Females

In 1919, the same year that the Bauhaus was founded, Louise Langgaard and Hedwig von Rohden established the Loheland Colony for the purpose of training girls and young women to become teachers of physical education - a career field that was just developing at the time and offered women the opportunity to earn an independent living. The Loheland students also had access to a variety of workshops run by the school and were able to complete a trade apprenticeship. The school quickly earned a reputation as one of the leading educational institutions for women in Germany; its products were shown at many major venues, including the Weissenhof Exhibition in 1927 and the Werkbund show in Paris in 1930.
