Overview

  • The opening ceremony begins at 18:00 in the Bauhaus building, which director Barbara Steiner says will be "loud, quiet, emotional — and hopefully also touching."
  • Saxony-Anhalt Minister President Reiner Haseloff and EU Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva are expected at the kickoff.
  • Organizers have scheduled exhibitions, an artistic program, conferences and public festivals extending over several months.
  • Previously closed Bauhaus buildings are slated to open to visitors as part of the anniversary.
  • The commemoration marks the 1925 move from Weimar and the 4 December 1926 debut of the Dessau building, now part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
