Summary/Abstract: Interwar Bratislava was a dynamic, multicultural, small city searching for its new identity. Architects, including Friedrich Weinwurm (1885–1942), created its contemporary, modern shape. The article focuses on the main Weinwurm's socially engaged projects (Unitas and Nová doba) in the context of the local urban development and progressive architectural trends in interwar Czechoslovakia.
