Hiking

When the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau in 1925, Lord Mayor Fritz Hesse not only assured the Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius of the financing for a new school building, but also promised him a housing estate for the Bauhaus teachers, who had called themselves Masters since their Weimar days. Just one year later, the Bauhaus building and the Masters' Houses were completed and became symbols of a design and educational revolution.
To this day, they stand worldwide as the epitome of white modernism.

Hiking

The Masters' Houses also look like modern architect's houses from the 21st century. The fact that they were conceived around 100 years ago shows how trend-setting Walter Gropius' ideas were and still are today.
