Dessau, now part of the larger city Dessau-Roßlau, is a place of historical significance and modern-day charm located in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is renowned for its association with the Bauhaus movement, as the school of art and architecture moved there in 1925, bringing with it luminaries such as Walter Gropius, Paul Klee, and Wassily Kandinsky. The city was also pivotal in the aviation industry, particularly with the Junkers aircraft factory. Despite severe damage during World War II, Dessau has been revitalized and is celebrated for its cultural heritage and green spaces, making it a unique blend of history and nature.
