Dessau: Overnight Stay in the UNESCO World Heritage City

Dessau, a city somewhere in Eastern Germany: That might be your first thought upon hearing the name. Pay attention for a second time, and you'll discover a city to fall in love with! Dessau is full of culture, delights with magnificent nature, splendid castles, parks, and four UNESCO World Heritage sites. Our B&B HOTEL Dessau not only offers you an affordable overnight stay but also serves as the perfect starting point for exploration, thanks to its central location.

The Remarkable City in Saxony-Anhalt and Its Picturesque Surroundings

While Dessau is a familiar name for the city, the official name since the 2007 district reform is Dessau-Roßlau. Around 79,000 people call this independent city in the state of Saxony-Anhalt home. It is located in the romantic Anhalt region, marked by the varied events of German history. The numerous palace and park grounds of the former princes of Saxony-Anhalt still tell these tales today.

Nestled within Dessau is the picturesque floodplain landscape of the middle Elbe, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Here, the idyllic Mulde River flows into the Elbe. You'll love experiencing the beautiful nature on walks or bike rides. Discover charming districts like Roßlau and Rodleben on the Elbe, or Kleutsch and Sollnitz, nestled between the Mulde River and Oranienbaum Heath. The Roßlau district is home to many more attractions, including the Europadorf, Roßlau Castle, and the Oil Mill.

Functional Modernist Architecture: The Dessau Bauhaus

Dessau-Roßlau is inseparably linked to the famous UNESCO World Heritage Bauhaus, an art and architecture school founded by Walter Gropius in 1919. From 1925 to 1932, it was primarily active in Dessau and was considered a center of modernism at the time. Exciting information, exhibits, and displays await you at the Bauhaus Museum, located near our hotel.

You can see how fascinating the innovative force of the Bauhaus still is today in the buildings of that era. Among the most famous are the Masters' Houses with their clear lines and intricate cubic construction. The Törten settlement, designed in the 1920s for affordable mass housing, is also an architectural highlight, as are the Kornhaus on the Elbe riverbank and the historic Employment Office.

A City with Wonderful Green Spaces

Do you love the romantic flair of fairytale castles nestled in magnificent parks? Welcome to the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz! It stretches east of the city in an idyllic cultural landscape of forests, lakes, and floodplains. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it delights with structures like Wörlitz Castle and its enchanting landscape park. You can experience the Garden Kingdom beautifully on a gondola ride. This cultural highlight of Saxony-Anhalt is a must-see, especially in the summer!

Around Dessau, you'll find more magnificent buildings like the neoclassical Luisium Palace, the Rococo ensemble of Mosigkau Palace, the Großkühnau Landscape Park with its palace and vineyard, and Oranienbaum with its English-Chinese garden. In the city area, you can visit Georgium Palace, where the zoo is located in its extensive greenery. Lastly, right next to the B&B HOTEL Dessau, you'll find the City Palace.

Historical Treasures and Culture in Dessau

As a place of living history, Dessau has a lot of culture to offer. Numerous museums showcase different facets of past times. In addition to the museums and exhibitions in the castles, the Roßlau Shipping Museum offers fascinating insights and information into the history of Elbe navigation. Also worth a visit is the Technology Museum dedicated to aircraft designer Hugo Junkers and the Museum of Natural History and Prehistory.

If you want to learn more about your travel destination, visit the Dessau City History Museum in the castle right next to our hotel. The city also has much to offer to friends of theater and music. Attend performances at the Old Theater or the Anhalt Theater, which host concerts, operas, or puppet shows. In the warm season, don't miss the wonderful open-air performances in the Garden Kingdom.

Culinary Delights, Bars, Nightlife, and Events

As you leave our hotel, you are just a few steps away from the city center. Here awaits a wealth of great places – from traditional breweries to restaurants offering regional, Italian, or Asian cuisine. In summer, many beer gardens tempt you to enjoy a cool drink under shady trees. If you're not drawn back to your cozy hotel room late at night, cool clubs invite you to dance.

As befits a livable city, Dessau offers great shops to browse – not just charming boutiques but also the Rathaus-Center. If you want to take excursions – whether for shopping or sightseeing – in the vicinity during your stay at B&B HOTEL Dessau, consider visiting nearby Köthen, the world capital of homeopathy, or the noteworthy Halle on the Saale.

The Anhalt Theater in Dessau is the perfect place to experience entertaining events. This multi-genre theater offers something for everyone, from classical plays to ballet and puppet theater.
