The Monument to the March Dead was erected between 1920 and 1922. It was created to honor the workers who died during the Kapp Putsch, which was a coup d’état that attempted to overthrow the Weimar Republic. It was later destroyed in 1936 by the Nazis because they considered it “degenerate art”. I really like this project by Gropius, it shows that he has variety in his architectural skills and is not afraid to offend anyone with his designs. By submitting it into a  competition for Weimar artists, he politicized his art and that is the reason why the Nazis destroyed it. It was later reconstructed in 1946.
