The Fagus Factory, begun in 1911 in Alfeld, Lower Saxony, is regarded as one of the earliest examples of modernist architecture. It is the first factory building by the future founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius, in collaboration with Adolf Meyer. Shoe lasts are still produced at the Fagus Factory. The focus of the ensemble is the main building with its strikingly large glass façade, which extends across three stories.
