In 1906, Frederic Nauman, a Christian socialist who had abandoned theology for politics, decided to form an association of artists, manufacturers, and merchants whose aim was to cleanse the public's taste and to promote an artistic style in accord with the technical resources of the modern world.2 In 1907, the Werkbund was founded, based on the desire for a social art, for a collaboration of art and industry, for a more beautiful and harmonious life for workers bonded in an artistic / labor community. Among the co-founders with Nauman of the Werkbund was Karl Schmitt who, in 1907, in connection with his manufacturing enterprise in Dresden, established a garden-city in the hills outside of Dresden in eastern Germany. Hellerau, as it was named, was a village of homes and educational and recreational facilities for the Schmitt workers, the rhythm of whose design was intended both to influence and reflect the harmony of the community
