100 years of Bauhaus history in 12 objects (Offener Kanal Dessau)
‘It's all over, gentlemen, we're going to Dessau now’, Lyonel Feiniger is quoted as saying in the first video, which he made in 1925.
Part 1 of the 12-video series presents a letterhead ‘das bauhaus in dessau, mauerstraße 36’ from 29 September 1925. This marks the beginning of the history of the Bauhaus in this playlist.
The Bauhaus is closely linked to the city of Dessau-Roßlau. On 23 March 1925, the Dessau municipal council decided by a large majority to take over the Bauhaus from Weimar. On 1 April, Walter Gropius and his staff began their work in Dessau. Teaching began on 14 October 1925 at the School of Arts and Crafts in Mauerstraße.
The video series was created in 2019 for the Bauhaus anniversary by Offener Kanal Dessau. The video and the link below start the playlist on YouTube.
