Dessau is the city most closely associated with the Bauhaus Movement. This is where the school of design founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919 was active for the longest period of time.
All three directors of the Bauhaus – Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer und Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – left their mark on the Bauhaus Dessau, and almost all of the Bauhaus buildings erected in Dessau are now regarded as icons of twentieth century architecture.
Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar, Dessau and Bernau is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
