FAQ for private group tours and school formats

We only accept group tour booking enquiries in writing.
Please use the online booking form.

You can view the group tour prices on our website under “Groups”. The prices vary depending on the tour offer.

A group tour can only be booked in conjunction with a valid admission ticket.

Guided tours are only offered within the regular opening hours. There is no entitlement to guided tours outside the regular opening hours. They require a separate agreement and are only possible as part of a booked guided tour.

In the event of a special opening of one of our buildings additional costs are incurred, which are listed in the corresponding offer. The general admission fees apply; discounts are excluded. Further information can be found in our corresponding general terms and conditions.

Guided tours or the like in the buildings of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation are forbidden to unauthorised persons. Only persons authorised by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation (academic staff and freelancers with a fee-based contract) are entitled to give guided tours of the buildings.

Group bookings by travel companies:
We grant one free ticket per group booking for tourist guides or bus drivers.

We have three different offers for schools:
1. Compact tours
2. Interactive guided tours
3. Workshops

You can view and book our current offers for schools on our website. Please use the contact form for your enquiry.

We offer our school formats on Tuesdays to Thursdays from 10 am to 2 pm.

Children and young people up to the age of 18 are admitted free of charge.

In connection with a booking of our offers for schools (tour or workshop), we grant a maximum of two free tickets per group booking for the teachers or supervisors. Additional accompanying persons pay the reduced admission fee.

Please note:
If you visit us without booking a guided tour, all adults will pay the regular admission fee.

We do not grant a group discount for groups. However, if you book a group tour, you will get a reduced admission price for each person.
