Dessau

Among the cities of Saxony-Anhalt, Dessau-Roßlau stands out for its foundational Bauhaus sites beside the Elbe and Mulde rivers. The Bauhaus moved here from Weimar in 1925, and Walter Gropius’s Bauhaus Building, opened in 1926, made its glass curtain wall and asymmetrical form defining references in modern architecture. The nearby Masters’ Houses were built for Bauhaus teachers, while the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation preserves the school’s legacy. Dessau-Roßlau is also part of the UNESCO-listed Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Kingdom, a cultural landscape of eighteenth-century parks and residences.
