Dear Alumni,
We are pleased to welcome you into our big Bauhaus family!
The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar has proudly born the State Bauhaus name since the 1920s. Our history, however, is so much more than that: over 160 years of evolution, innovation, and creativity. We were only the Bauhaus in its narrowest sense for six years, but we were shaped prior to and since then by other exciting chapters, including as one of the leading art schools of the Wilhelminian Era and as a renowned technical university in the GDR.
Today, we have combined all of these traditions under one roof that is open, interdisciplinary, and internationally connected. You too have witnessed, and perhaps even played a role in shaping, a period of this eventful history. And we thank for this! Your experience, knowledge, and perspectives have made you official ambassadors for our university and the city of Weimar.
We wish to invite you to stay a part of this vibrant community. Get involved and share your ideas, expertise, and stories.
Whether it’s through talking with students, joint projects, or simply in conversation: We value your input. We hope you decide not only to be part of our past, but also part of our present and future.
Let’s stay in touch! The International Bauhaus-Network allows our paths to cross again thought numerous events, including alumni reunions.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar again and again!
Warm regards
Prof. Peter Benz
President of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar
