Things to see and do Germany

The Bauhaus area is located in the south of the city, where 314 individual residential houses were built between 1926 and 1928 according to the Bauhaus principles. Whatever the aesthetic of the genre, we will be at the sources of contemporary architecture in Europe. A leaflet can be purchased at the museum retraçant the history of the houses and guiding the visitor in the neighbourhood. Moreover, it is far from being muséifié, and one can see many of these abandoned homes, a legacy of neglect of the communist regime and the loss of vitality of Dessau after reunification.

These are small parallel alleys along the canal, south of the university and west of the Schwabentor. Retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city center, immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the city's most picturesque old districts. The houses bordering these alleys were occupied by tanners and fishermen who gave them their names. In medieval times, these two professions that needed large quantities of water had settled beside the creek for more convenience. Today, these pedestrian alleys are among the most beautiful in the old town and make tourists happy, happy to dive back in the past.
