Germany｜Finally Beyond Textbooks: My Pilgrimage to Bauhaus Dessau

🔵 Opening Hours: 11:00-17:00 (Closed Mondays Nov-Feb) Spend a full day savoring Dessau’s pristine streets and rigorously geometric Bauhaus architecture🏗️✨. Graphic designers will weep with joy. 🔵 Transport: • Berlin HBF → Dessau via RE7 (~1.5h, €20-30 one-way). • Pro tip: If touring Germany, the €49 monthly ticket is golden. • Controversy alert: BVG day tickets might not work—we played safe and bought separate tickets. 🇨🇳 "Chinese women abroad: We hustle harder!" 🔵 Tickets: • On-site purchase: €25 combo pass (all sites) €15 student discount 🎓 €9 for Bauhaus Building only 📍1. Bauhaus Building A 5-min walk from the station. Serendipity: We trailed a class of architecture students 🎒—their professor lectured as they sketched. The building still functions as a dorm + cafeteria 🍽️. Nearby, students were literally constructing models—the energy was infectious! 📍2. Trinkhalle (Life-Saving Snack Bar!) En route to the Masters' Houses, this unassuming kiosk serves Panini-like sandwiches 🥪—stuffed with veggies, bread perfectly crispy-soft. My Chinese stomach wept with gratitude (after days of Italian carbs 🍝). Ideal for lunch/tea breaks! 📍3. Masters' Houses ("The Quadruplets") Gropius’ boxy white villas 🏡 exude slow-living bliss. I daydreamed: "If one were mine, I’d summer here forever..." Inside, exhibits are sparse (mostly archival photos 📜), but the real magic is outside: • 4PM sunlight ☀️ filtering through leaves • Breeze whispering against minimalist facades • Architectural harmony that textbooks can’t capture 📍4. Bauhaus Museum Closed during my visit—but like life, travel isn’t about perfection. A reason to return, no? 😉 #Bauhaus #Dessau #Germany #BerlinTravel #ArchitectureLover #AthleisureVibes #SunglassesOn #EuropeanSummer ☀️
