 The buildings in Weimar were used by successor arts related educational institutions.There were also other art schools, at other sites, in Weimar, including the "Fürstliche freie Zeichenschule Weimar" (Weimar Princely Free Drawing School), which existed from 1776-1930, and the "Staatliche Bauschule Weimar" (State Architecture / Building Trades School).After various mergers, restructurings and renamings, the present day Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, founded in 1996 after German reunification, operates on the former Bauhaus site, teaching art and design related courses.
