The Bauhaus and its sites in Weimar, Dessau and Bernau are part of the UNESCO World Heritage List and include Bauhaus buildings in Weimar , Dessau and Bernau near Berlin . The buildings have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 , and this first list was expanded in 2017 to include five arcade houses in Dessau and the ADGB federal school in Bernau. The buildings were chosen as the fundamental representatives of classical modernism , which embodied a radical renewal of architecture and design in the period after the First World War . The ideas of the Bauhaus went hand in hand with strict design, functionalism and social reform.

history

The State Bauhaus was founded on April 12, 1919 by Walter Gropius in Weimar as an art school. Your concept of merging art and craft was something completely new back then. Although the Bauhaus only existed for 14 years and had to close in 1933, its effect continues to this day and thus shaped the image of modernism at home and abroad.
