Barkhausen-Bau

The Barkhausen-Bau is a university building at TU Dresden with multiple wings constructed at different times. The structure features two stories with a simple facade and blue slate saddle roof, with sections labeled alphabetically from A through D.

The first section was built starting in 1951 under the direction of Karl Wilhelm Ochs as a prototype for campus development during the 1950s. The building shaped the architectural approach and planning of the university grounds during that era.

The building honors a professor who was still teaching at the university when the naming took place. This was an uncommon recognition for an active scholar at that time.

The building entrance is designed with accessibility features for various users. Finding your way inside is made easier by the alphabetical labeling of the different wings.

The building was named after a scholar while he was still actively researching and teaching at the university. This made him the only scientist honored in this way during his working career.
