You arrive outside the Bauhaus architectural school.

The Bauhaus, (house of construction) had a major impact on art and architecture trends in Western Europe. In the decades following its demise, as many of the artists involved fled, or were exiled, by the Nazi regime.

The School existed in 3 different cities, Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, until it was closed in 1933 by the Nazis. During the years the school was ruled under 3 different people, Walter Gropius 1919 to 1928, the founder of the school, Hannes Meyer 1928 to 1930, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe 1930 to 1933.

The school was very influential for its, architecture, arts, graphic design, interior design, industrial design,and even typography. The Bauhaus style became the most influential, and inspiring currents in modern architecture because of its modernism, minimalism and most of all its functionalism. Where instead of fancy outside decoration, it was more plain and simple, everything has a purpose.
