Altes Funkhaus, Broadcasting facility in Weimar, Germany
The Altes Funkhaus features a monastery-like layout with a grand library, office spaces, and expansive halls designed for radio broadcasting purposes.
Construction began in 1937 as a memorial hall for Friedrich Nietzsche, but financial constraints led to its completion in 1940 with an air raid shelter.
From 1955 to 1985, DEFA operated a synchronization studio in the small broadcasting hall, making it the third such facility alongside Berlin and Leipzig.
The building stands at Humboldtstrasse 36 in Weimar and requires an estimated twelve million euros for complete renovation work.
The furniture of Friedrich Schiller was stored in the building's basement after replicas were made by inmates from Buchenwald concentration camp.
