Summary:

The architecture of model railway systems in the German post-war economic boom was surprisingly modern. New stood next to old, high-rises and half-timbered buildings coexisted peacefully. Still today the famous "Villa in Tessin," high-rises, gas stations, and train and administrative buildings of the post-war period connect generations throughout Germany. "märklinMODERNE" shows for the first time how enthusiastic the nostalgic model railway builders truly were for modernism. The exhibition and catalog present model assembly kits and the real buildings that inspired them, and thus bring the architecture and model construction history of the post-war period together. Exhibition: German Architecture Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany (18.05.-09.09.2018).
