Palais Branconi, Cultural heritage monument in Zerbster Straße, Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.
Located at Zerbster Straße 36, the Palais Branconi stands as a neoclassical city palace featuring preserved sections of its original facade despite damage over time.
Built between 1795 and 1796 under architect Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff, the palace experienced severe destruction during the 1945 air bombings, which led to its current state.
The palace served as a theater venue in 1904, presenting vaudeville and theatrical performances until financial difficulties caused its closure two years later.
The structure requires substantial renovation work, with a community foundation established in 2008 planning to transform it into a cultural and congress center.
Known also as Kristallpalast, the building maintained theater operations from 1949 until 1990, when safety concerns forced its permanent closure.
