Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar, Dessau and Bernau, International art school buildings in Weimar, Dessau and Bernau, Germany

The Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar, Dessau and Bernau is a World Heritage listing of six separate Bauhaus-related buildings and complexes in Germany, inscribed in 1996 and extended in 2017. The Dessau school building by Walter Gropius, opened on 4 December 1926, joins a three-storey glazed workshop wing to a taller block whose flat wall carries the name "BAUHAUS" in stacked white capitals above three square windows with red lower panes.

The school was founded in 1919 under Walter Gropius and aimed to connect traditional crafts with modern production methods. It shaped twentieth-century architecture before closing in 1933.

The Bauhaus brought together craft and fine art to show a completely new way of designing and making things. This blend of traditional craftsmanship and industrial production changed how designers and artists work today.

The three locations can be visited separately, with Dessau offering the most as the main campus with its school building. Plan for multiple visits if you want to see all three sites.

The Dessau Meisterhäuser are seven houses designed by Walter Gropius for the Bauhaus masters, including three paired houses for Moholy-Nagy and Feininger, Muche and Schlemmer, Kandinsky and Klee, plus a single house for Gropius. The Moholy-Nagy half and the Gropius house are 2014 abstract reinterpretations, as the originals were destroyed in the war.
