Bauhaus, Garden Kingdom and more

Dessau offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the entire Bauhaus culture. From the Kornhaus in the north to the settlement of Dessau-Törten in the south. There are more Bauhaus buildings in Dessau than in any other city. Each of the buildings is considered a prototype of modernist architecture and tells of the Bauhaus’ aspiration to rethink and reshape society.

In addition, Dessau’s convenient location allows for excursions to Oranienbaum-Wörlitz, Lutherstadt Wittenberg and deep into Anhalter Land. Learn about the life and work of the aviation pioneer at the “Hugo Junkers” Museum of Technology or enjoy great performances at the traditional Anhalt Theater.
