Wilhelm von Heydebrand (1888-1970) was a gold and silversmith who moved to Dornach in 1914 to help construct the Goetheanum, a building designed by Rudolf Steiner. He later became known for his craft work as a wood carver and jewelry designer. His granddaughter, Sibylle von Heydebrand, described his approach to jewelry making as involving a deep understanding of the personality of the future wearer, resulting in unique pieces that reflected their psychological nature. Duldeck, were in attics or sheds in Dornach as the value of these original items was evidently long overlooked.
On New Year's Eve 1922, the First Goetheanum in Dornach, one of the most unusual buildings of its time, burned down; Only photos still bear witness to the impression of the building, which was only recently completed. The photographs were taken by Gertrud von Heydebrand-Osthoff, who trained as a painter and was the wife of Wilhelm von Heydebrand.
Wilhelm von Heydebrand's wife, Gertrud von Heydebrand-Osthoff, was also an artist and worked as a carver at the first Goetheanum. She later became known for her photographs of Rudolf Steiner.
The Goetheanum, designed by Rudolf Steiner, was a unique building that showcased his architectural theories and incorporated elements of organic and functional design. It featured carved wood, reinforced concrete, watercolor murals, and engraved colored-glass windows, all of which aimed to visually represent the metaphysical ideas of Steiner's anthroposophy.
Anthroposophy is a philosophy that emphasizes the spiritual element and the idea that each individual has a role to play in society. It has its own scientific approach and encompasses various fields such as economics, politics, medicine, biology, agriculture, and art. Introduced by Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century, anthroposophy has been criticized for its association with esoteric cults.
In the context of design, anthroposophy is also known as the Dornach Style and is characterized by an emphasis on woodwork, geometrical shapes, and graphic angles.
