Alter Schlachthof Dresden, Heritage monument in Leipziger Vorstadt, Dresden, Germany.

The Alter Schlachthof consists of multiple sandstone buildings supported by riveted steel beams, including a main hall and several auxiliary structures.

Built in 1871 as Dresden's first central slaughterhouse, the facility operated until 1907 when operations moved to a larger location in the Messe Dresden area.

The main building transformed into a concert venue in 1998, featuring two performance halls that accommodate up to 2,000 standing or 1,010 seated spectators.

Located near the Elbe river, the complex houses multiple commercial spaces, event areas, and provides various configuration options for different types of gatherings.

The facility maintained its own power generation system and included a vocational school for butcher apprentices, established in 1895 during its operational period.
