Arrive in Dessau — the Bauhaus city on the Elbe and gateway to the Wörlitz Garden Kingdom — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA). The 449 km route along the A66, A7, A4, A9 takes around 4h 40min, and your FrankfurtRide chauffeur handles everything door-to-door, with the price agreed before you travel.

Dessau is where the Bauhaus did its most influential work: Walter Gropius's school building of 1926, the Masters' Houses and the Törten housing estate are UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the Bauhaus Museum Dessau opened in 2019 to show the collection in the city centre. Hugo Junkers built his aircraft and engines here, remembered in the Technikmuseum that bears his name, and the Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt) now has its headquarters in the city. The Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz, the first great English-style landscape park on the Continent, begins at the edge of town and carries a second UNESCO listing. The city sits where the Mulde meets the Elbe, about 60 km from both Leipzig and Magdeburg and 120 km from Berlin.
