Oberpostdirektion Dresden, Administrative building in Postplatz, Dresden, Germany
The Oberpostdirektion Dresden spans three stories with two side wings, incorporating Italian Renaissance architectural elements at Postplatz 2.
Construction of the postal administrative building began in 1876 and continued until 1881, following the reorganization of postal services after German unification.
The building represents the collaboration of three architects - Carl Schwatlo, Adolph Canzler, and Carl Christian Zopff - in late 19th century German design.
The structure now contains 246 rental apartments and four business units after extensive redevelopment work completed between 2016 and 2019.
A commemorative artwork installed in 2008 marks the events of the 1953 East German uprising that occurred at this postal building.
