MDR-Kubus, Broadcasting building in Leipzig, Germany
The MDR-Kubus features a black facade and an irregular roof design, creating a modern architectural statement in the urban landscape of Leipzig.
Completed in 2001, the MDR-Kubus was designed by Dresden architect Peter Kulka as a new headquarters for Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk broadcasting corporation.
The building contains two recording halls of different sizes and houses the MDR Radio Choir Leipzig and MDR Symphony Orchestra for rehearsals and recordings.
A climate-controlled glass bridge connects the MDR-Kubus directly to the Leipzig Gewandhaus, facilitating regular movement between the two musical institutions.
The structure became Station 23 of the Leipzig UNESCO Music Trail in 2007, reinforcing its role in the musical infrastructure of the city.
