Wettiner Gymnasium Dresden, School building at Wettiner Platz, Dresden, Germany
The Wettiner Gymnasium building stands as a late 19th-century educational structure with distinctive architectural elements designed by Theodor Friedrich at Wettiner Platz 13.
Following its establishment in 1879, the gymnasium served as Dresden's second municipal school until 1944, when bombing during World War II damaged its left wing.
The building now houses the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden, maintaining its educational purpose through musical instruction and performances.
Located at coordinates 51.0538 latitude and 13.7248 longitude, the structure underwent substantial restoration work in 1974 to preserve its architectural features.
The gymnasium was built on the grounds of a former plague and poor cemetery, marking a transformation from a place of mourning to a center of education.
