Fotoeins Friday: Dessau Masters’ Houses (Bauhaus100)
Part 2 of 4, Dessau Bauhaus.
2019 marks the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus. The Bauhaus art school began life first in Weimar between 1919 and 1925, moved to Dessau between 1925 and 1932, and ended in Berlin from 1932 and 1933 before the Nazis forced the school to close for good.
About 500 metres north from the Bauhaus headquarters building are four structures Martin Gropius designed for the Bauhaus Masters: a single family house and three duplex houses. UNESCO inscribed the Masters’ Houses and the Bauhaus headquarters building as part of a single Bauhaus World Heritage Site in 1996.
Thanks to IMG- and Sachsen-Anhalt-Tourismus and the city of Dessau-Rosslau for their patronage and access to facilities, and the City-Pension Dessau-Rosslau for their hospitality. IMG- and Sachsen-Anhalt-Tourismus supported my visit to the German federal state of Saxony-Anhalt from 25 October to 3 November 2016 inclusive. I made the photo above on 28 October 2016 with a Canon EOS6D and the following settings: 1/250-sec, f/5, ISO1000, and 24mm focal length.

Beautiful shot, Henry. I love the clean lines. Bauhaus is such a distinct style. There are a few Bauhaus structures in Chicago that I love.

Thanks, Patti. I’d very much like to see more of the Bauhaus influence in Chicago and New York, after key players from Bauhaus moved to the States and beyond.

It’s well worth a trip to either place. One great event to keep in mind is Open House Chicago in the fall. It’s a lot of fun and you get to see some great architectural sites.
