Aerial photos at Category:Bauhaus-Gebäude Dessau

Per German admin's inputs at Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2022-12#File:Berlin Hi-Flyer Sept14 views04.jpg, the situation hasn't changed to a great extent. While a lower regional court (Landgericht Frankfurt) may had provided a more progressive approach to German FOP by allowing aerial photography, it remains to be seen when the highest courts of German land – Bundesgerichtshof, Bundesverwaltungsgericht, Bundesfinanzhof, and Bundesarbeitsgericht – would make similar decisions allowing the use of special equipments like drones to freely reproduce public buildings from a view not normally dedicated to public access (like mid-air) without architects' licensing permits. So far, none has made such decision, and out of 110+ regional courts throughout Germany, only Landgericht Frankfurt made a contradictory decision that seems to oppose the legal tradition of Germany with regards to German FOP. Hence the lower court's ruling cannot be relied on by Commons in accordance with COM:Project scope/Precautionary principle.

For the authorship, the author of this building, w:en:Walter Gropius, died in 1969, so still within the 70 years post mortem auctoris of German copyright law.
