In 2024, the German far-right party [[Alternative for Germany]] (AfG) sought to attack celebrations of the Bauhaus because of their view that the Bauhaus did not follow tradition. The Bauhaus was also crushed by the Nazis before World War II, and according to political scientist Jan-Werner Mueller, AfG's condemnation seeks to use it in a [[culture war]] of far right-wing provocation.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Escritt |first=Thomas |date=2024-10-27 |title=Germany's far right stirs up culture war over Bauhaus legacy |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/germanys-far-right-stirs-up-culture-war-over-bauhaus-legacy-2024-10-27/ |access-date=2024-10-27 |work=Reuters}}</ref>
