100 years ago, the Bauhaus moved from Weimar to Dessau: the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation is celebrating the big anniversary from September 2025 to December 2026 together with numerous partners. Under the motto "To the substance", the focus will be on modern and contemporary materials.
On Saturday, November 29 and Sunday, November 30, parts of a mobile pop-up presentation from Dessau will be making a stop at the Weissenhofwerkstatt in Haus Mies van der Rohe to mark the occasion.
Glass, steel, brick: all these materials of architectural modernism still have a decisive influence on the structure and character of buildings today. Dr.-Ing. Dorothea Roos, Head of the Building Department at the Bauhaus Dessau, will give a brief guided tour of the building materials used at the Bauhaus and other buildings in Dessau in 1926. This will be followed by a short tour of selected houses in the Weissenhof Estate. You will learn about the building materials and techniques used here, such as the "Feifel Zigzag" system.
