Gerhart-Potthoff-Bau, University building in Südvorstadt, Dresden, Germany.

The Gerhart-Potthoff-Bau features sandstone plaster facades and stands as a prominent example of socialist classicism architecture at Hettnerstraße 1/3.

Construction began in April 1951 with Otto Buchwitz and Transport Minister Hans Reingruber attending the foundation stone ceremony for this educational institution.

The building contains notable artworks, including a fresco by Alfred Hesse and Erich Gerlach depicting President Wilhelm Pieck's visit to Dresden.

The structure houses lecture halls, study spaces, and the Bio-Mensa U-Boot cafeteria, serving the Faculty of Transportation Sciences at Technical University Dresden.

The building's auditorium, POT 81, served as the largest university hall from 1992 until 1998, when the new auditorium center opened.
