What it is

A few metres from the Bauhaus building, on Ebertallee, Gropius built the masters' houses in 1926: his own and three semi-detached houses, among pines, where László Moholy-Nagy, Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee, among others, lived with their families. They are white cubes with large windows, and they can be visited inside.

Entry €10 (€6 concession), or the all-in ticket for €29. Public guided tour every day at 12:30, leaving from the Bauhaus building; in season, on Fridays in English at 13:30. The houses hold temporary exhibitions; in 2026, photography by Jürgen Beck.
