Dessau-Roßlau – the “Bauhaus”-City

Dessau-Roßlau is a twin city and one of the biggest in Saxony-Anhalt. Dessau-Roßlau is located in the middle of an extensive floodplain directly on the Elbe River. The „Bauhaus“ City is world-famous for its “Bauhaus” Building and its “Masters‘ Houses” of Walther Gropius (you can find his impressive architecture all around the world). The technical museum of „Hugo Junkers“, birthplace of aviation and the Garden Realm Dessau-Wörlitz welcomes you as

well. The “Bauhaus” Building together with

the “Masters‘ House” in Dessau and the Garden Realm Dessau-Wörlitz are adapted to the UNESCO list of

World Cultural Heritage.

The excellent transport connection makes Dessau popular for foreign group tours. You reach Magdeburg, Leipzig, Halle and Berlin in

just one hour and so you can diversify your stay or seminar.
