Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar and Dessau

Listed under Contemporary Architecture in Erfurt, Germany.

The buildings put up and decorated by the school's professors (Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Wassily Kandinsky) launched the Modern Movement, which shaped much of the architecture of the 20th century.
