Dessau, located in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, is a city with significant cultural and architectural heritage. The city is particularly renowned as the location of the influential Bauhaus school of art, design, and architecture from 1925 to 1932. During this period, the city became a center of modernist design and architectural innovation under the leadership of Walter Gropius. The Bauhaus buildings in Dessau, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, represent a milestone in 20th-century modern architecture and continue to attract visitors interested in design history.
Beyond its Bauhaus legacy, Dessau has historical significance as a residence of the princes of Anhalt, evident in the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm, another UNESCO World Heritage site that exemplifies 18th-century landscape design. The city also has strong musical connections, being the birthplace of composer Kurt Weill and hosting regular cultural events that celebrate its artistic heritage.
