Die Frankfurter Küche

Die Frankfurter Küche is shown as a permanent part of the Danish Modern exhibition.

In 1926, the young Austrian architect Margarete Lihotzky designed a small, modern, practical, and affordable kitchen. It measured 3.44 meters in length and 1.90 meters in width. The cabinets had no back panels and were mounted directly against the neighboring cabinet. There were two countertops, one high and one low. Additionally, the kitchen featured plenty of practical drawers for storage. It was named the Frankfurt Kitchen because it was produced and installed in social housing developments in the city of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in the years that followed.

One of these historic German ideal kitchens - the predecessor to all later modular kitchens - can now be seen at the design museum.

Visitors can see Die Frankfurter Küche (the Frankfurt Kitchen) come alive in an exhibition using light and audio to create an immersive experience.
