Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar: The Bauhaus School is commonly known as Das Bauhaus (the Bauhaus). The school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. The school existed in three cities in Germany: Weimar (1919-1925), Dessau (1925–1932) and Berlin (1932–1933). The Bauhaus School was closed under pressure from the Nazi regime in 1933. Its three architect-directors, Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, are most closely associated with the Bauhaus. In the early 20th century, the Bauhaus created a revolution in art, design and architecture. The Bauhaus style became one of the most important and influential currents in the Modern Movement and architecture. The Haus am Horn is the first building of the Bauhaus ever constructed and the only one in Weimar. It is an experimental residential house and was built for the first Bauhaus exhibition in 1923. The buildings of the Zollverein in Essen were erected in the Bauhaus style. The renowned Dutch art movement De Stijl (The Style) greatly influenced the Bauhaus. Today, the Bauhaus Museum Weimar offers insights into the design and development of the Bauhaus in Weimar. Another UNESCO World Heritage Site in the town is Classical Weimar. The Bauhaus and its Sites in Weimar and Dessau were granted status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The ADGB Trade Union School in Bernau was added in 2017. World Heritage Art: Bauhaus Revisited and Ode aan het Bauhaus
