In the 1920s, the topic of kitchen redesign was a perennial favorite. In Frankfurt in 1926, the building authority “invented” the famous Frankfurter Küche based on the design work of Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. Before it found its way – often via the bulky waste collection – into museums and collections in Western industrialized nations, it was installed around 10,000 times in the apartments of the housing estates of the New Frankfurt. The aim was to make reproductive and family work more time- and space-efficient. The fact that care work is still predominantly feminized and performed by the female members of society, without remuneration, is as well known as it is criticized.
In this dialogue lecture, Jorun Jensen from the Deutsches Architekturmuseum and Grit Weber from the Museum Angewandte Kunst explore various other kitchen concepts from the 1920s, introduce other protagonists who promoted the “single-kitchen house,” for example, and supplement them with current perspectives, scientific discourses, and artistic positions. Refreshments will be served, followed by a screening of the film 100 Jahren Neues Bauen. Die Super-Küche (2025), produced for Arte and HR by Laura J Gerlach and Kerstin Kemena.

The radio series Neues Frankfurt is a series of programs produced in a historical radio format, which are broadcast in loose succession by radio x, Frankfurt’s city radio station. Texts and music from personalities of the 1920s, the pioneering era of the medium, are used for this purpose. On November 26, 2025, the radio program Neues Frankfurt will broadcast for the first time from the Museum Angewandte Kunst and directly from the exhibition Yes, we care. The New Frankfurt and the Pursuit of the Common Good. The figure appearing in the exhibition rooms is a member of the Frankfurt Housewives’ Association, who was a frequent guest on the Frankfurt radio station in the 1920s, where she spoke on topics related to housekeeping and care work, as well as vocational training and architecture.
The series began with a broadcast from the German Architecture Museum entitled Der neue Mensch und die neue Musik (The New Man and the New Music) (2019). This was followed by a program from the Kuhhirtenturm (2019) as part of the Hindemith Days, the concert and lecture evening Das neue Hören und das neue Sehen (The New Hearing and the New Seeing) from the Volksbühne im Großen Hirschgraben in 2020, and the episode Neue Musik auf neuen Instrumenten (New Music on New Instruments) from MOMEM in 2023. Exactly one hundred years after the broadcast of Zauberei auf dem Sender (Magic on the Air), the first radio play in German (broadcast by SüWRAG in Frankfurt on October 24, 1924), a reconstruction of the work was performed and broadcast live as part of the series.

Sound has always been attributed with a healing effect: from the low frequencies of the Earth’s magnetic field to Solfeggio tones, which are said to release inner blockages and promote spiritual awakening. Yet care is more than a vibration. It is human affection, it requires taking time for empathy. It is, at the latest, when we can no longer eat, dress, or wash ourselves without help that we become dependent on other people. With the dissolution of the family as the center of care, a sophisticated system of home health care has developed, especially in Western countries. A business model, a strenuous job in which mobile caregivers rush from door to door by car.
In Your World – an Audio Drive, Marc Behrens and Hannes Seidl take the audience on a tour of Frankfurt. Wrapped in calming frequencies, a connection between the daily routine of home health care and (self-)care emerges. While the healing frequencies tenderly envelop the audience, the conversations build a bridge to the harsh world beyond the window panes. Your World oscillates between singing bowls and bedpans and takes time—for the audience and those who care for us.
Eine Produktion von Hannes Seidl & Briefkastenfirma in Koproduktion mit Museum Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt am Main. Gefördert aus Mitteln der Stadt Frankfurt am Main und dem Hessisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Forschung, Kunst und Kultur.
