The latter was dissolved by the National Socialists in 1938. History In 1920, on the occasion of an exhibition in the Vienna Museum of Art and Industry, the fundamental discussion flared up again as to whether the Austrian Werkbund should be oriented towards arts and crafts or whether serial, industrial production based on artistic designs should be the decisive factor. This discussion had been initiated by the art critics Arthur Rössler and Hans Tietze; the latter spoke of "a thousand cute things" in view of the elitist arts and crafts of the Wiener Werkstätte. Josef Frank supported their attitude, but did not attack Josef Hofmann personally. Josef Hofmann and his followers flatly rejected modern industrialization tendencies and wanted to see arts and crafts as traditional and elitist. The dispute led to the Vienna Werkbund splitting off from the Austrian Werkbund in May 1921. Josef Hofmann and a large part of the board members henceforth formed the Werkbund Wien, which was incorporated as an association into the Deutscher Werkbund; the first president became Margarethe Stonborough-Wittgenstein, Ludwig Wittgenstein's sister. In the "old" Werkbund, the architect Robert Oerley took over the office of president. Due to the personal union with the director of the Wiener Werkstätte, Josef Hofmann, the Werkbund Vienna remained in its infancy and did not achieve any particular effectiveness.[3] In 1925, on the occasion of the Austrian participation in the exhibition at the exposition des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes in Paris, the two groups came closer again and Josef Hofmann took over the artistic direction. He designed the pavilion, Josef Frank created the coffee house in front of it, Oskar Strnad an "organ tower" and Peter Behrens a glass house, so that representatives of all groupings were involved. Starting in 1926, talks were held about reunification, which was finally accomplished in May 1928: The Vienna Werkbund rejoined the Austrian Werkbund. Hermann Neubacher, head of the Gemeinwirtschaftliche Siedlungs- und Bauaktiengesellschaft GESIBA, mayor of Vienna from 1938 and close to the German nationalist camp[4], was elected president, and the painter László Gábor was elected executive board member. Josef Frank and Josef Hofmann became vice presidents. Under the artistic direction of architect Josef Frank, who stood for undogmatic modernism, the Werkbund housing estate in Vienna was built between 1930 and 1932. Frank was responsible for the overall spatial disposition of the complex, László Gábor (1895-1944), painter and executive secretary of the Werkbund, for the coloring concept. The client was the municipal housing company Gesiba under General Director Hermann Neubacher, the president of the Austrian Werkbund. Federal President Wilhelm Miklas and Mayor Karl Seitz spoke at the opening on June 4, 1932. Between 1932 and 1934, tensions arose due to anti-Semitic tendencies towards Jewish architects and artists, and the old discord flared up. There was a new split and Josef Hofmann, together with other members, founded the "New Werkbund Austria", from which Jewish members were excluded. This led to the final break between Josef Hofmann and Josef Frank. Josef Frank moved to Sweden at the end of 1933. (During World War II, Frank again fled into exile, this time also to Manhattan, where he designed a variety of new patterns between 1941 and 1946 also for the famous Swedish Design Company Svenskt Tenn) The "old" Werkbund was dissolved by the National Socialists in 1938.
