Experience in the historic Marstall building from 1744, located in the middle of the ensemble of Dornburg castles and gardens, the unique opportunity to encounter one of the last preserved and accessible workshops of the Weimar Bauhaus at first hand. In an authentic atmosphere, you can get to know the former pottery of probably the most pioneering and influential art and design school of the 20th century from the "workshop perspective" in four rooms. In addition to the two preserved workshop areas, which have been made accessible as museums, the museum offers original equipment for the manufacturing process of the craft, a modern annex for the presentation of the entire history of the workshop as well as an educational area, in which young and old can become creative themselves!

The only workshop located outside of Weimar from the early phase of the art and design school finds an important place in the history of the Dornburg pottery tradition. The Bauhaus Workshop Museum Dornburg makes these connections visible and understandable for you. In addition, the no less important workshop history of the Krehan pottery, the Bauhochschule period under the direction of the pottery icon Otto Lindig ,up to the Körting family is illuminated. Bauhaus, Lindig, Körting - three resounding names in the history of ceramics and all three are decisively connected with the idyllic, dreamy little town above the Saale Valley. The potters and the ceramics behind these names mark the history of one and the same workshop - the pottery in the Marstall building right next to the widely known Dornburg castles and gardens. This is a unique constellation in the history of ceramics, not least because the continuous use as a pottery has led to the fact that parts of the equipment from the different periods of use have been preserved until today. A place with great authenticity, many stories and anecdotes and all this in the midst of a very special atmosphere with impressive views and insights! 

The new museum is thus a fantastic complement to the Weimar Bauhaus Museum. If you learn about the big picture there, marvel at the iconic end products of Bauhaus creation - here you experience the microcosm, the experimentation, the work - the path and the life that ultimately allowed the Bauhaus idea to become so powerful and influential for the future. Here you are invited to understand the Bauhaus from the workshop perspective. This is a completely different approach to the existing exhibition principle - and a decisive one, because the Bauhaus can actually only be understood in its core in the former workshops. We would like to offer our visitors this principle of encountering the subject matter in the "germ cells" of the source of ideas and thus at the same time address the entire history of the workshops in the former Dornburg Marstall.
