Arbeiter-und-Bauern-Fakultät Dresden

The three-story sandstone building at Weberplatz 5 features a high base floor, fifteen window axes, and a tower-like structure facing Teplitzer Street.

The faculty emerged from the ruins of a former teacher training college built between 1906 and 1910, which was destroyed during the events of 1945.

Wilhelm Lachnit created wall paintings inside the building, while Wilhelm Landgraf and Gerhard Markwald contributed sculptural decorations to the exterior.

The building currently houses cultural sciences departments of TU Dresden and remains accessible through the main entrance with its sculptured staircase.

Between 1949 and 1961, this institution prepared children of workers and farmers for university studies as part of East Germany's educational reform.
