Building 23

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Building 23 (2005); The column-free attic room, approx. 85 meters long and almost 18 meters wide, is spanned by a shell construction that is only 6 cm thick.

The construction of 23 , also Zeiss Building 23 , is a historically important former factory building in Jena , Thuringia . In the building, which was built from 1923 to 1924 for the Carl Zeiss company , from 1924 spectacle lens production was housed. Its roof construction was the world's first cylinder shell based on the Zeiss-Dywidag process , which was developed and patented by Walther Bauersfeld (in Carl Zeiss) and Franz Dischinger (in construction company Dyckerhoff & Widmann ) . The dome of the Jena planetarium was built in 1926 according to the same shell construction principle. The pharmaceutical company Jenapharm GmbH & Co. KG has been using the building, which is now a listed building, since 1947 .
