In the years that followed the home’s construction, the Weimar Republic collapsed and Hitler was appointed German chancellor in January 1933. On February 25, 1933, the 76-year-old Felix suffered a second stroke, partially paralyzing him. The following night, as the Germany they knew, including the Bauhaus, was dissolving, the couple overdosed on sleeping pills, ending their lives together in their Gropius-designed home. (English)
