dc.descriptionLooking east, corridor leading outdoors; The Steel House, which stands right next to House Fieger, was commissioned by the municipality of Dessau and built during the first phase of the construction of the Törten Estate. It was completed in spring 1927. Most of the time it was claimed that one could not see that the house was made of steel. Muche and Paulick, however, found that it all came down to the visibility of this material, desiring a congruency of industrial manufacture and the corresponding formal language. The building is a steel plate construction, consisting of a steel skeleton load bearing structure with 3 mm thick steel plates mounted onto the outer walls. The house has no basement. Inhabited into the 1990s, in 1993 the Steel House was restored. Since 2001, it has been used by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation as an information centre for the Törten Estate.
