The Legacy of Erich Mendelsohn – expression and context in the architecture of Modern movement. The way to UNESCO World Heritage List

Abstrakt

The initiative taken in 2021 by the international community of architectural and art historians called “Erich Mendelsohn Initiative” is focused on inscribing the architectural legacy of Erich Mendelsohn on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Despite intense work, neither the list of nominated buildings, nor the statement of their Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) and the title of the nomination has been yet established. The main aim of this article is presenting the authorial look at Erich Mendelsohn’s legacy from the UNESCO World Heritage perspective. The article analyzes the global significance of Erich Mendelsohn’s legacy in view of the leading historians of the architecture of the 20th century. Then it puts forward the preliminary list of Mendelsohn’s realisations which should embody his legacy, the criteria for assessment their historical value and the proposed title of the nomination. The main part of the article is defining the first two sections of the “Outstanding Universal Value Statement”, to be presented in the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. According to the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention they are: the “Brief synthesis”, and the “Justification for Criteria”. In conclusion, the author stated, that the most significant qualities of the Erich Mendelsohn’s architectural works are: strong EXPRESSION and dialog with the local CONTEXT. Thus, these features should be the main subjects of the Outstanding Universal Value Statement, the title and in the main narrative points of the nomination dossier for inscription of the Erich Mendelsohn’s legacy to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
