Text in German.Georg Rauh (1906 1965) enhanced the Eastern Swiss architectural landscape with his work. His oeuvre, comprising around 100 buildings, is characterized by the considered placement of volumes, sensible floor plans and a subtle choice of materials. A clear programme is discernible: reduction and functionality, fully in the spirit of Bauhaus teaching. The trained carpenter studied at the Bauhaus Dessau under Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Hilberseimer, before graduating in 1932 under Mies van der Rohe. After returning to Switzerland, he worked as a teacher at a vocational school and subsequently as an architect for social housing.
