criteria. Cultural

The Bauhaus School, originally in Weimar and then in Dessau, revolutionised architectural and artistic thought and practice from 1919 – 1933. The professors – Henry van de Velde, Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Wassily Kandinsky – of the school launched the Modern Movement, which went on to deeply influence 20th century architecture. The properties listed in this WHS are quintessential examples of Classical Modernism. In its original listing, it was made up of three buildings in Weimar and eight in Dessau. Its 2017 extension went on to include another five buildings in Dessau and one in Bernau.
