A closer look

Architecture in context

Dessau-Roßlau is the birthplace of the Bauhaus movement. Walter Gropius' Bauhaus building (1926) and the Masters' Houses remain canonical examples of the school's principles — geometric purity, curtain walls, and open plans. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and essential stops for understanding 20th-century architecture.
