The house at Maternistraße 17 in Dresden was built in 1925/1926 by the municipal building department according to plans by Karl Paul Andrae . Originally consisting of two buildings, the rear building was destroyed in the air raids on Dresden in 1945 and the ruins were cleared by 1950. Used as a district party school for the SED until 1990, a lecture hall was added in the 1950s in the western part of the building, which is now used as a private theater.
