Walter Müller-Wulckow papers, 1918-1935.

Collection consists primarily of Müller-Wulkow's papers relating to the work of the sculptor, architect, engraver and painter Bernhard Hoetger. The correspondence with Hoetger and his wife Lee Hoetger documents the artist's life and work from 1919-1935. The collection also includes: Müller-Wulckow's professional correspondence concerning his efforts to promote Hoetger's work as well as two unrelated letters from Adolf Hölzel (1919), Wilhelm Wagenfeld (1929), and a postcard (post-World War II) from Erich Heckel; four letters from the Bauhaus, probably all from Walter Gropius, 1921-1924, asking for Müller-Wulckow's assistance in the school's fight against governmental attempts to cut financial aid and dissolve it as a public institution; manuscript writings about Bernhard Hoetger; a collection of printed articles and clippings on Hoetger; and 60 photographs of his architectural and sculptural projects, most notably of the "Böttcherstrasse" (1926) in Bremen.
