Saturday had an early start with our charter bus leaving at
7am to head out to the Bauhaus School and then on to Nuremburg. After getting a great nap on the bus,
we arrived at the Bauhaus School, which I found extremely interesting. I cannot believe that that school was
only in use for 6 to 10 years and still left such a long lasting legacy. The school is still in service but not
at all in the same magnitude. They
now only have a 1-year certificate program upon getting your Bachelor’s. The school’s architecture was
absolutely phenomenal, especially for having been made in the 1920s.
While there we all ate lunch in their cafeteria and then
headed to tour their Master’s Houses.
The Master’s Houses was where their top teachers would live with their
own family, just like the school, the architecture of the homes were so
amazing. Walter Gropious did an
absolutely stunning job and especially for the complex having been built in 1920s.
After finishing up our tours we proceeded to go on our 4-our
journey to Nuremburg, Germany. The
drive was absolutely beautiful in the German countryside. We drove on the Autobahn and passed
several quaint villages and saw hundreds of windmills along the way. Germans are very into being energy
efficient on everything and anything.
Upon arriving in Nuremburg, we all got our stuff situated in
our hotel rooms. Afterwards we
went to explore the city at 6pm. I
found the city to be absolutely stunning.
I think I could wonder around in this city for hours and hours at a
time. There were two amazing
churches in the city and an even a castle that we went up to, to have a great
view of the city around us.
Afterwards, we made our way back to our hotel rooms and then
walked around the park across the street for bit, before calling it a day.
