Kornhaus Dessau
Kornhaus
A riverside restaurant on the Elbe, designed in 1929–1930 by Bauhaus architect Karl Fieger. Guests can dine or have coffee on the riverside terrace.
Designed in 1929–1930 by Bauhaus architect Karl Fieger, it is the only Bauhaus building built on the water. Restored to its original appearance in 2012, the building is a sight in its own right. The complex includes a main dining hall, a small Fieger room, an Elbe terrace and a garden. It serves regional fish and meat dishes, vegetarian options, coffee, cake and ice cream. Menu items include Fläming venison roll and pike-perch. Diners generally praise the location and river views, though reviews of the food and service vary. It is ideal for coffee or a simple meal during a stroll or bike ride. Expect about €20–35 per person. From November to February, it may be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
