The Kreis der Freunde des Bauhauses e.V. was founded in Weimar in 1924 at the instigation of Walter Gropius. Its ranks included prominent members of the board of trustees, such as Albert Einstein, Marc Chagall, Gerhart Hauptmann, Arnold Schönberg and Franz Werfel.

The association developed its activities and cultural influence in Dessau.

Here and today, the Friends of the Bauhaus supports the foundation in preserving, researching and publicising the heritage of the historic Bauhaus as well as artistic and scientific projects and research tasks.

According to the statutes, this support is provided by our members in an idealistic, material and financial way and it is our concern to act in this sense!
