Yenidze, Former tobacco factory in Dresden, Germany.
The Yenidze building features a glass dome reaching 20 meters high and contains 600 windows adorned with intricate tile patterns across its exterior walls.
Built between 1907 and 1909 by architect Martin Hammitzsch for entrepreneur Hugo Zietz, who imported tobacco from the Ottoman region of Yenidze in Thrace.
The structure combines Moorish architectural elements with industrial design, reflecting the connection between European manufacturing and Middle Eastern tobacco trade.
The building now houses modern offices spanning five floors with 9,000 square meters of space, while the glass dome contains a restaurant for visitors.
During the 1945 Dresden bombing, the Yenidze remained standing while surrounding buildings were destroyed, preserving its distinctive minaret-shaped chimney.
