Dessau was not always known as a dying city. Throughout the history of Dessau, the city has experienced a fluctuating sense of stability influenced by the political and ideological movements of the Medieval Era, the Enlightenment Era, Industrialization, the Nazi Regime, and the GDR. Ultimately, it was the events of the 20th century that led to Dessau's gradual decline and have brought the city to a standstill in attempting to revitalize.
