Städtischer Vieh- und Schlachthof
Städtischer Vieh- und Schlachthof, Heritage slaughterhouse complex in Ostragehege, Dresden, Germany
The Städtischer Vieh- und Schlachthof consists of 68 buildings designed in Heimatstil architecture, positioned on elevated ground near the Elbe River.
The municipal slaughterhouse complex, completed in 1906, operated as Germany's largest meat processing facility until its closure in 1994.
The facility gained literary recognition through Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse-Five, based on his experiences as a prisoner during the 1945 Dresden bombing.
Since 2000, sections of the former slaughterhouse have been converted into the Messe Dresden exhibition center and the Dresden Sports Academy.
The machine house, featuring a 675-kilowatt steam turbine system, stands as the most prominent structure within the industrial heritage complex.
