Gropiushaus

Central Germany


Walter Gropius' house is the most recently reconstructed of the Masters' Houses, opened to the public in 2014. It contains the ticket office for the remaining three Meisterhäuser, and is also used for special events.

The ticket price grants entry into all four of the Meisterhäuser buildings.
