More about the book
Dessau was for centuries the royal residence of the Principality and Duchy of Anhalt. In the 18th century, under Leopold III Frederick Franz of Anhalt-Dessau, the city became a 'Musenhof' ('court of the muses') of European importance, and the present-day Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz was established in the spirit of the Enlightenment. Located idyllically in the heart of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve, it today impresses countless visitors from far and wide as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dessau is world famous as the 'Bauhaus' city, whose most famous structures – the Bauhaus building and Meisterhäuser houses – are also listed as World Heritage Sites. The tour takes you to Dessau’s biggest attractions and Wörlitz Park, inviting you to experience the city’s 800-year-old history and Wörlitz’s picturesque parklands in an entertaining and informative manner – while still making sure to include the breaks necessary for you to enjoy Anhalt hospitality.
