description

Floor plan of the slate castle Dresden-Gruna

The building was built in 1996 by Weise & Treuner in the Dresden district of Gruna on the site of an old rubble dump. The floor plan and the design are fully committed to the "organic building concept". The building looks like a “fairytale backdrop”, which was built with natural materials such as wood, clay, clay bricks and slate. Irregular floors and playful details quote Friedensreich Hundertwasser. A central domed hall dominates the building.

The Art Nouveau forms and mosaics composed of ceramic shards quote works by Antoni Gaudí. Quotes from Bruno Taut and Edwin Koenemann on the Worpswede cheese dome from 1926 can also be seen.

In the dome hall there is a light art body by Arend Zwicker from Dresden. A steel girder structure carries a hollow body made of zinc sheet. The surface was etched out with many symbolic openings. A powerful light source inside projects the shape of the openings onto the dome wall and objects in the room. The light installation rotates slowly and is adjustable in height.
