The concern with industry and mechanized production is determinant for all further work at the Bauhaus, and demarcates its reception to this day. The politically motivated and financially justified chicanery render a continuation impossible. Therefore, on December 26, the masters declare the dissolution of the school for April 1, 1925. Marc Chagall, Albert Einstein, and Gerhart Hauptmann are members of the board. At the beginning of the year, negotiations take place with several cities concerning a possible continuation of the school, among which are Frankfurt am Main and Dessau.
Some masters negotiate other activities.
In March, the municipal council of Dessau, on the initiative of the Lord Mayor Fritz Hesse, decides to take over the Bauhaus as a municipal school. Classes start in Dessau at the beginning of April. Neither the pottery nor the wood and stone sculpture workshops are recreated in Dessau. Gropius proclaims a new program dominated by the importance of industry and science for design. In November, the Bauhaus Co. Ltd. is founded to commercialize the products.
