Hörsaalzentrum der TU Dresden, University auditorium building in Dresden, Germany
The Hörsaalzentrum der TU Dresden is a university lecture building with six auditorium halls spread across multiple levels, including Saxony's largest auditorium holding 977 people. Ten seminar rooms are also integrated throughout the structure.
The building was completed in 1998 from designs by architects Klein & Sänger working with Dömges + Partner. It was built as part of Dresden University's expansion following German reunification.
Wall paintings by Michael Fischer-Art titled 'Fragments of the Technical Revolution' fill the entrance hall, foyer, and stairwell. They express the connection between technical education and artistic expression that runs through the building.
The building is easy to spot from the front thanks to its glass entrance facade and offers barrier-free access on all levels. Visitors should allow time to explore the different floors, as the layout can feel complex at first.
The entrance hall combines a transparent glass facade with exposed steel skeleton construction, a characteristic design feature of Dresden. This architectural approach shows how the building interprets the city's traditional building styles in modern form.
