The minister for education of the federal state Saxony-Anhalt, Stephan Dogerloh, invited the past monday (5th November, 2012) his counterparts to a meeting in Dessau-Roslau in order to sign the "Bauhaus alliance 2019". This Memorandum of Understanding is set to support the festivities that will take place around the 100th anniversary of the existence of the Bauhaus. The federal states of Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, Lower Saxony, and Baden-Württemberg aim to closely work together in preparing the Bauhaus jubilee in 2019 and to make the popular art school even more public in foreign countries.
In the course of this meeting the present directors of the three leading German Bauhaus institutions (Weimar Classics Foundation, Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, Bauhaus Archive Berlin / Museum of Design) signed a cooperation treaty.
