The Sprengel Museum In Hanover Has A Reconstruction Of The Best Known Of These Installations Called Merzbau Which Was A Redesign Of At Least Four Rooms In Schwitters's House In Hanover. These Were Not In His Apartment But On The Ground Floor In The Attic And Possibly In The Basement. The Original Merzbau Was Destroyed In An Air Raid During World War II. According To Schwitters Merz Is Derived From The Name Of The Commerzbank The Word Is Also Notably Similar To The French Word Merde. A Story Is Told But Untrue That He Attempted To Join The Network Of Dada Artists Only To Be Rejected By The Leader Of The Berlin Movement Richard Huelsenbeck On The Premise That Schwitters Was "too Bourgeois" For Dada.
