Wilhelm von Debschitz
[edit]- ... that Wilhelm von Debschitz founded an art school in Munich which provided a model for the Bauhaus?

- Nice, will review later. How about projects? Any chance to get the image from de at least for fair use? Off for now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:53, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Interesting bio, on good sources. In the hook, I think "model" tells enough about what came first, so think we could simply say "served as" instead of "was to serve as", but I am not the language expert ;) - I added a fact (sourced to one of your refs), as he is mentioned in that article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:17, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks for your edits! I've added a few Wikiprojects and amended the hook above along similar lines to your suggestion. As for the image, I refrained from using the one on de because I wasn't sure what its status was. Prioryman (talk) 21:47, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
all fine, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:59, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I came by to promote this, but am having trouble finding the hook fact in the source. Page 318 of the source is a page of footnotes which includes the information about Gropius visiting the school, but not about the Debschitzschule providing a model for the Bauhaus.

- You're right, apologies - I'd added the citation in the wrong place. I've fixed that now. It's from Troy (2002), and the line in question says "The Obrist-Debschitz School served as a model for the Bauhaus". (Several other sources say the same or a similar thing.)
