The Frankfurt Kitchen was invented in 1926 by Austrian architect Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. It was designed as part of a housing project in Frankfurt, Germany, and was one of the first modern, functional kitchens designed specifically for efficient use of space and time. It aimed to improve the quality of life by making household chores easier through organisation and ergonomics in mind, and it is often considered one of the earliest examples of modern kitchen design.
This movement in German kitchen design is one of the factors that lifted Häcker into industrialised kitchen production.
Built-in cabinetry,
space saving appliances, separate functional zones, ergonomics and streamlined aesthetics revolutionised the space and started resembling the kitchen space as we know it today.
