This article focuses on Peter Behrens's first building, the house on the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt (1901), which was never occupied by the Behrens family. It took on a more disinterested role as a showcase of progressive design, and was praised as such by the historian Tilmann Buddensieg. Deicher sets this position against a Marxist reading, which interprets the relation between Behrens and his aristocratic patron as "feudal," and sees the Behrens work as a new construct of domination rather than as the harbinger of a new and democratic design practice for the twentieth century.
