Ludwig Mies Life

About

Born Maria Ludwig Michael Mies and popularly as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe or simply Mies, this German architect was responsible for such modernist masterpieces as the Barcelona Pavilion and Villa Tugendhat, Czech Republic.

Before Fame

Mies had the opportunity to collaborate with both Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius when apprenticing with architect Peter Behrens in the early 1900s. He oversaw the building of the German Empire's Embassy as an apprentice.

Trivia

He served as the final director of a well-known German art school called the Bauhaus in the 1930s. When the Nazi regime took power in his homeland, he migrated to the United States, where he headed the Illinois Institute of Technology's architecture department.

Family Life

Dorothea, Waltraut, and Marianne's three-year marriage to Ada Bruhn resulted in the birth of daughters Dorothea, Waltraut, and Marianne; he fathered a fourth child (and his first son) through an extramarital union. He had a number of high-profile affairs throughout his lifetime, including a close three-decade friendship with sculptor Lora Marx.
