Discover the Bauhaus Dessau – with all senses! This app will accompany you on your discovery tour through the Bauhaus city of Dessau. Whether before, during or after your visit, the app offers a lot of suggestions and information about the unique history of the Bauhaus. Various extraordinary features await you: The "Bauhaus Game" AKTIVE LINIE uses augmented reality (AR) to visualise your own movement as a visible drawing track in space. You will leave virtual traces in real space that can serve others as inspiration for their own art of movement. "Bauhaus Focus" is a 30-minute audio tour through the permanent exhibition "Versuchsstätte" in the Bauhaus Museum Dessau. Immerse yourself in a fascinating story about Oskar Schlemmer's world-famous Triadic Ballet, László Moholy-Nagy's colourful Light-Space Modulator or Marcel Breuer's Club Chair B3. The interactive map "Bauhaus City" will guide you to famous Bauhaus buildings, such as the Masters' Houses, the Bauhaus Building or Walter Gropius's Employment Office. Some of the rooms in the historic Bauhaus Building that are not accessible to individual visitors can also be viewed via the app. 360-degree panoramas show, for example, the auditorium with the stage or Walter Gropius's office. Another artistic feature is "Bauhaus Sound", which has been created by the Berlin composer and sound designer David Kamp. The unique sound composition enriches exhibitions and buildings of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation with an experimental sound level. It comprises more than 100 sound elements that create an infinite sound composition. So every user will listen to a very individual composition. Of course, the app also provides current service information on opening hours and tickets. We are always open to your feedback and suggestions.

Verdict
Weimar+ and Bauhaus Dessau both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 74% of Bauhaus Dessau's written reviews are positive against 42% of Weimar+'s. Weimar+'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (92 vs 10). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Weimar+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weimar+ has 92 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Weimar+'s written reviews are positive against 74% of Bauhaus Dessau's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Weimar+ ships an update fortnightly, Bauhaus Dessau every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
