 In 1920, when these arrangements foundered, Gropius invited Max Krehan to move to Weimar and join the Bauhaus staff.Krehan refused to leave his Dornburg pottery, but he did agree to work with students at that location (about fifteen miles from Weimar).As a result, the ceramics workshop of the "Staatliches Bauhaus in Weimar" (State Bauhaus of Weimar) was set up as an annex in Dornburg, in the abandoned horse stables of the Grand-Duke of Sachsen-Weimar.
