Dessau-Roßlau

The cities of Dessau and Roßlau merged in 2007 and since then have had the double name Dessau-Roßlau. With the Bauhaus by Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus epoch, the city became known and famous beyond the borders of Germany and Europe in 1925/26. Originally, the Bauhaus was a school building for architecture, design and art. Today, the building with its remarkable glass facade is a museum. A nice change from architecture and art is the fauna and flora in the Dessau-Roßlau Zoo. The park covers 11 hectares and has more than 100,000 visitors annually.
