Masters' Houses
Meisterhäuser
A group of white cubic houses designed by Gropius for Bauhaus teachers. Kandinsky and Klee once lived side by side here.
The Masters' Houses stand in a pine forest about 800 meters northwest of the school building. In 1926, Gropius built three semi-detached houses and one detached house for himself and Bauhaus masters, including Moholy-Nagy, Feininger, Muche and Schlemmer, and Kandinsky and Klee. The Gropius House and the Moholy-Nagy House, both destroyed during World War II, were rebuilt in an abstract form in 2014. Inside, visitors can see the original colored walls, staircases, and furniture designs. The Kandinsky/Klee House is the best preserved. Tickets can be purchased separately or through the Bauhaus combined ticket.
