The Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt, UBA) in Dessau is located directly at Wörlitzer Platz 1, about five minutes' walk from Dessau's main railway station. It offers an excellent event location for a scientific conference - modern, well-founded and characterized by responsibility towards the environment and society. As Germany's central environmental authority, it stands for independent research, evidence-based policy advice and decades of expertise in areas such as air pollution control, water quality, chemical safety and radiation protection. Dessau itself is conveniently located between Berlin, Leipzig and Halle and is easily accessible by train and car - international guests also benefit from the proximity to Leipzig/Halle Airport. The city combines scientific clarity with cultural depth: as the cradle of the Bauhaus, it offers space for new ideas and perspectives.

DESSAU-ROßLAU – CITY OF MODERNISM, NATURE AND HERITAGE

Located in central Germany between Berlin and Leipzig, Dessau-Roßlau is known worldwide as the birthplace of the Bauhaus movement. The iconic Bauhaus Building and the Masters’ Houses – both UNESCO World Heritage Sites – attract visitors from around the globe and are must-sees for anyone interested in modern architecture and design.

Beyond its cultural significance, Dessau offers access to outstanding nature. The city borders the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve, a unique floodplain landscape ideal for walking and cycling. Just east of the city lies the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz, another UNESCO site that combines landscape architecture, neoclassical buildings and English-style parks.

Local cuisine features seasonal and regional specialties such as asparagus, game, and traditional Saxon dishes, complemented by a growing number of modern cafés and small breweries.
