For decades, the work of Lilly Reich and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe has often been viewed through different lenses. Yet many of the defining works of modern architecture and design emerged through their close professional collaboration.

From the Weissenhof Exhibition and the Velvet and Silk Café to the Barcelona Pavilion, the Barcelona Chair and the Tugendhat House, this journey explores projects that helped redefine space, materials and modern design.

This story is not about assigning credit to one over the other. It is about understanding how creative collaboration shaped some of the most influential works of the twentieth century.

Some of these places can still be experienced today in Stuttgart, Berlin, Dessau and Brno. Preserving their stories is one thing. Walking through them is another. Bauhaus Experience connects these stories with the places where they happened.

Not every Bauhaus story begins with a building.

Some begin with a friendship.

In Dessau, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee lived side by side in the Masters’ Houses designed by Walter Gropius. Beyond their roles as Bauhaus masters, they shared years of artistic exchange, mutual respect and a common search for new visual languages.

Their works often followed different paths, yet both explored how colour, form and composition could express ideas beyond the visible world.

The Masters’ Houses remain one of the most fascinating places to understand not only the Bauhaus, but also the creative dialogue between two of the twentieth century’s most influential artists.

These original student IDs from the Bauhaus Dessau school belonged to young designers, artists, and architects who helped shape modernity.

When architecture became art.

Completed in 1968, the Neue Nationalgalerie is one of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s most celebrated works and a defining icon of modern architecture.

With its open steel structure and transparent glass hall, the building continues to influence architects around the world.

The Neue Nationalgalerie is one of the highlights explored during the Bauhaus Experience Masterpiece Journey.

The Weissenhof Estate is not just architecture, but a new way of seeing modern life.

What emerged in Stuttgart in 1927 was not a style alone, but a broader cultural shift, shaped through light, proportion, openness and industrial construction.

Many of these ideas still define contemporary architecture and urban living today.

Architecture for a modern society. The Weissenhof Estate in Stuttgart was not conceived as a monument, but as an experiment.

Built in 1927 as part of the Deutscher Werkbund exhibition under the artistic direction of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the project brought together leading architects including Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Hans Scharoun to explore new forms of modern living.

Flat roofs, open plans, light-filled spaces and industrial construction methods reflected a radical shift in how architecture could respond to modern society.

Nearly a century later, the Weissenhof Estate remains one of the most influential architectural experiments of the modern movement.

Bauhaus Experience Week · June / July

Weimar. Dessau. Berlin.

For selected dates in June and July, we are opening a limited special phase for our Bauhaus Experience journeys. Not a conventional tour, but a curated journey into the origins of modern architecture, design and living.

From Haus am Horn in Weimar to the Bauhaus Building and the Masters’ Houses in Dessau, and further into Berlin, the journey follows one central idea: not only to see the Bauhaus, but to understand it.

Special conditions are available during this period for individual travelers, small groups and institutions. Selected formats may also include a Bauhaus Masterpiece object as a material anchor accompanying the experience.
