In October 2007, Otto Hernandez and Daniela Brasil initiated an
“rescue-occupancy” project, renting first the first floor for artistic and
cooking experiments, and from April 2008 till September 2009, they rented the whole house
for expanded usage and all kinds of experiments.
During these two years, friends and students have been joining the project either with a
permanent studio space, or with different initiatives, from works presentations,
scenario for film or photo shootings, workshops, parties and exhibitions.
The core group was: Teresa Huber, Elias Wachholz, Bernhard König, Johanna Warm and Peter
Krug. Long-term occupants were: Adam Noack, Marc Fraeser, Franziska
Schulz, Clara Freund, Klicken und
Stechen, Florian Monka, Christiane Löffler, Hainer Reinmann, Antonia Lippmann,
Michael Grunitz and Daniel Luehr.
The new owners of the building intend to start the renewal.
Their aim is to build a hotel connected to the Bauhaus. Meanwhile we are
allowed to rent some of the rooms as non-public studio spaces.
The occupants during winter 2009/2010 are: Daniela Brasil, Otto Hernandez,
Lisa Glauer and Johanna Warm, Hinnerk Utermann, Darja Wiest, Jörg Wolf,
Johannes Wiesenmüller and Kevin Rulsch.

BAUSTELLE M10 is located at the Marienstrasse, one of the main axis for
the students in the Bauhaus-University in Weimar. The house, built in 1834 is
the last surviving of the classicist architectonic period in this
street, and one of the few houses there which has not been “restored” with
cheap laminated floors and plastic windows. During the DDR times, it was
divided for 6 to 8 families to live in. After the wall fell and Weimar became
a Unesco heritage site the house is under protection.
Our aim was to preserve and improve the house through occupying and render its
spaces alive, with minimum economic investment, but with a lot of improvisation,
art and work. Or, as the name suggests, transforming it in a constantly
evolving “construction site”.
BAUSTELLE M10 has no institutional neither commercial partner/sponsorships,
nor legal frameworks. It is a private initiative that tries to bring together
intentions, intensities and desires. It is a shared, participative and
non-profit environment, financed by usage, i.e. people’s initiatives and the
activities they organize.
