Bauhaus et ses sites à Weimar, Dessau et Bernau
This ensemble of sites represents the physical manifestation of the Bauhaus movement, one of the most influential design and architectural schools of the twentieth century. The properties are distributed across three German cities—Weimar, Dessau, and Bernau—each reflecting a distinct phase of the school's development and pedagogical approach. The sites include the school buildings themselves, along with associated structures and housing designed according to Bauhaus principles, demonstrating the integration of artistic innovation, craftsmanship, and functionalist design. The architecture is characterised by clean geometric forms, the rational use of industrial materials, and the elimination of ornamental excess in favour of purposeful design. These locations document the profound influence of the Bauhaus on modern architecture, design, and art education throughout the twentieth century. The inscription recognises the outstanding universal value of these sites as testimonies to a revolutionary approach to artistic creation and the built environment that transcended traditional boundaries between fine and applied arts.
