Bauhaus Building Dessau
Bauhausgebäude
The Bauhaus school building designed by Walter Gropius in 1926. It is a milestone of modernist architecture and a World Heritage Site.
The Bauhaus Building was designed by Walter Gropius and completed in 1926. Its asymmetrical layout includes a glass-curtain-wall workshop block, a connecting bridge, and a student dormitory known as the 'Atelier Building.' It is a landmark work of modernist architecture and was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1996. You can freely visit the entrance hall and exhibitions. The interior classrooms, the auditorium, and Gropius's office can be seen only on a guided tour, which runs several times a day, including English-language sessions. You can also book a stay in the student dormitory. It is about a 10-minute walk from Dessau Central Station. Combined tickets are available with the Masters' Houses and the Bauhaus Museum.
