Abstract
This article uses historical evidence about the competing designs of kitchens in1920s German social housing to argue that historians (and, to an extent,geographers) have overlooked the coercive capacity of space to compel certain formsof social relationship. Such has been the potency of the‘cultural’ model in history and geography that the‘material’ world has been cloaked by language and symbol.Bourgeois politicians, planners and reformers in 1920s Germany were not onlycompelled to think about domestic space for the poor for the first time, but had toactually produce the physical space if they wanted to make their ideologies‘live’. This article also shows that if we disaggregate thespace of the home into its constituent parts (rather than simply contrasting theprivate and the public realms), different gender ideologies could be designed intodomestic space, forcing families to adopt ways of living and patterns of sociabilityaccording to the priorities of, variously, ‘Americanizers’,socialists, conservatives and liberals. The kitchen designs of Frankfurt are wellknown, but in fact those of Munich were probably more widespread, and so this workfurther serves to decentre the canon of Modernism which dominates much discussion ofWeimar building.
