Bauhaus Sites

The Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar, Dessau, and Bernau, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Germany, represent a groundbreaking modernist movement in architecture and design. Established in 1919 by Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus school revolutionized artistic education by integrating crafts, fine arts, and technology. Its iconic buildings, designed by Gropius and other notable architects, showcase functionalist principles with minimalist aesthetics, emphasizing geometric forms and industrial materials. Recognized by UNESCO in 1996, the site reflects the Bauhaus's lasting influence on 20th-century design and architecture worldwide.
