Today the term Bauhaus is virtually synonymous with an entire age. In fact it was a college for design which existed for only 14 years and which did not have more than 1,250 students during that time. The historical Bauhaus is linked with three places, namely Weimar, the place where the Bauhaus was founded in 1919; then with the move to Dessau 1925, and the opening of the Bauhaus building which is known today as an “icon of Modernism” and the masters’ houses; and finally with its closure by the National Socialists in Berlin 1933.

This book leads for the first time to all Bauhaus locations in Germany. The presentation combines historical and current photographs. A comprehensive service section and detailed maps make the volume not only a practical handbook but also a good travel companion.

Bauhaus Cooperation Berlin Dessau Weimar

Under the title "Bauhaus Cooperation Berlin Dessau Weimar", Germany's leading Bauhaus institutions work together: the Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design, Berlin, the Bauhaus Foundation Dessau and the Klassik Stiftung Weimar. The "Triennale der Moderne" initiative, launched in 2013, is dedicated to the world heritage of architectural modernism in Germany in Berlin, Weimar and Dessau in 2013, 2016 and 2019. The project is a first step on the way to the centenary of the Bauhaus in 2019, for which there will be an extensive joint programme with research projects and transnational exhibitions on the global history of the Bauhaus's impact under the motto "Rethinking the World" from 2015.
