Aken Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The town hall with the market square

The old town hall and the city archives were completely destroyed in the great city fire of 1485. As early as 1490, the city council decided to build a new town hall, which still meets the requirements of the time today because of its solid construction, simple beauty and practicality. The town hall, which is a listed building, was expanded in 1609 and renovated in 1907. It consists of a two-story plastered building with gables; to the south there are crossed decorative brick bands. Next to the entrance door in the interior are medieval symbols of crafts, trade and jurisdiction (butcher's knife, cubit, stone bushel, handcuffs). On the east side is the main entrance with the outside staircase, which is covered by a pillar-supported canopy. The Ratskeller (cross vault) was extensively renovated.

Bauhaus Building, Dessau

Highlight • Monument

The building was designed by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius on behalf of the city of Dessau. The main elements of the complex are the glazed three-story workshop wing, the equally high wing for the vocational school and the five-story studio building. The workshop wing and the commercial vocational school are connected by a two-story bridge. A one-storey intermediate building forms the transition from the workshop wing to the studio building. Here the auditorium, the stage and the canteen form the so-called festival level. The studio house accommodated students and young masters in 28 residential studios, each 20 m2 in size.
Definitely take a guided tour!!!!!

Bauhaus Museum Dessau

Highlight • Monument

Bauhaus Museum opened in September 2019 in downtown Dessau. The mirror facade offers unimagined possibilities for photography, the museum itself is worth seeing.

Dessau Town Hall Square

Highlight • Monument

Forerunner of today's town hall
In the 13th century, there was a department store on the site of today's town hall, which was handed over to the Dreycken family as a fief towards the end of the 13th century by the then sovereign, Prince Bernhard III. A council of the city of Dessau was first mentioned in a document in 1323.[2] On March 12, 1336, the fief was transferred to the city of Dessau by Princes Albrecht and Waldemar. The building was now used by the citizens for their meetings and can therefore be seen as the first town hall. Little is known about the further history of the house. However, it is likely that it burned down in 1467. A successor building also appears to have been destroyed by fire.[3]

The third Dessau town hall, with a large and small council chamber, a council hall, as well as an armory and treasury on the upper floors and the rat cellar on the basement, was built in 1563. In front of the building there was an octagonal tower crowned with a dome, in which a spiral staircase led to the upper floors. The tower portal had a lion's head as the keystone of a semicircular arch, two console-like human heads and the city coat of arms carved in stone with the year 1563. The gable on the market contained the city clock with a bell. In 1601, the Ratskeller received an entrance portal with a cornice, obelisk and floor gable with a shell.[3]

After renovation work in 1883, it soon became apparent that the newly created premises were not sufficient to accommodate administration. In 1885 a room from the Ratskeller and in 1887 a floor from a neighboring house had to be used. On April 27, 1895, the local council decided to build a new building.[4]
