Know more about your day trip
The Bauhaus movement revolutionized design, architecture, and education between 1919-1933. Founded by Walter Gropius, it merged fine arts with crafts and embraced modernist principles of simplicity, functionality, and mass production. Despite its brief existence before Nazi closure, Bauhaus profoundly influenced modern architecture, furniture design, and art education globally with its "form follows function" philosophy.
In Dessau, visit the iconic Bauhaus Building (1926) designed by Walter Gropius, featuring its distinctive glass curtain wall and workshops. The Masters' Houses where Bauhaus teachers like Kandinsky and Klee lived are architectural gems. Don't miss the new Bauhaus Museum Dessau showcasing over 40,000 Bauhaus artifacts, the Torten Housing Estate, and the riverside Kornhaus Restaurant designed by Carl Fieger.
In Weimar, visit the Bauhaus Museum showcasing early works from the school's founding period. Explore the original Bauhaus University buildings designed by Henry van de Velde, featuring restored wall paintings by Oskar Schlemmer. Don't miss Walter Gropius' private office, considered a design masterpiece. The Neues Museum offers context about the cultural movement that preceded Bauhaus and shaped its development.
The journey from Berlin to Dessau takes approximately 2 hours (90 miles/145 kilometers) by private vehicle. From Dessau to Weimar is another 1.5 hours (75 miles/120 kilometers). The entire round trip from Berlin covers about 330 miles (530 kilometers). Your Daytrip driver will provide a comfortable ride with flexibility to stop and explore these iconic Bauhaus locations at your own pace.
The best time to visit is during spring (April-June) or fall (September-October) when temperatures are pleasant for exploring both indoor and outdoor Bauhaus architecture. Summer months can be busy with tourists, while winter offers fewer crowds but shorter daylight hours. Most Bauhaus sites are open year-round, but check seasonal hours as some locations have reduced winter schedules.
Photography policies vary by location. In the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, non-commercial photography without flash is generally permitted in most areas. The Masters' Houses allow photography in designated areas. Museums may restrict photography in certain exhibitions, particularly for temporary displays with borrowed items.
This trip is ideal for architecture students and professionals. The buildings represent groundbreaking modernist design principles and construction techniques. Visitors can examine original structures, floor plans, and innovative building materials. Many sites offer specialized tours with detailed technical information by appointment. Consider arranging a professional guide in advance for deeper insights into architectural details and preservation techniques.
Most major Bauhaus sites offer English-language tours, but availability varies by season. The Bauhaus Building in Dessau and Bauhaus Museum Weimar regularly schedule English tours, especially during peak season. Audio guides in English are available at most locations. For the best experience, check official websites in advance when planning your itinerary.
