The new podcast episode on Erna Meyer and the modern home: A conversation with Dr. Laura Altmann

28 May 2026 News

In this episode, Dr. Laura Altmann presents her HfJS research project: The Jewish economist and household reformer Erna Meyer revolutionized cooking and living in the 1920s/30s - from the New Household Economy to collaboration with Gropius and Mies van der Rohe to emigration to Palestine. Why do we talk about Gropius but not Meyer? What made them "architectural designers"? And what does Meyer's legacy say about care work, smart homes and architecture today? Listen and learn ;)
