Dessau-Roßlau, Administrative center in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
The city extends across 245 square kilometers at the meeting point of the Elbe and Mulde rivers, forming a significant transportation hub in central Germany.
The merger of Dessau and Roßlau occurred in 2007 during Saxony-Anhalt's administrative reform, creating the third-largest municipality in the German federal state.
The Bauhaus architectural school operated in Dessau from 1925 to 1932, leaving structures that received UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 1996.
The central location between Berlin and Leipzig provides access to major railway connections, an inland harbor, and industrial facilities for machinery production.
The Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz integrates Enlightenment principles through landscape design, earning separate UNESCO World Heritage status in 2000.
