Take a walk through Weimar, follow the traces of the early Bauhaus and experience the exciting past and present of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The beginnings of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar can be traced back to the 19th century. Originally an art academy, it was enlarged after 1945 to include a number of engineering disciplines which gave the university a modern technical character. With the inclusion of the Faculty of Art and Design, founded in 1993, and the Faculty of Media, founded in 1996, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar has once again coupled the fields of art and engineering into one institution and has been carrying the name of the famous school of design since 1996.
