description

Old building

Paul Wolf's children's clinic was built in the New Objectivity style from 1929 to 1930 for the Dresden Medical Academy . The structural implementation of the "then revolutionary city theories of the light-air-sun principle" was clearly visible in the building of the Dresden children's clinic. There were balconies that opened in long rows to the south. Infants and children could stay there in good weather.

Only the eastern nurses' home, today a clinic and polyclinic for psychiatry and psychotherapy, has survived from the building complex. The “original idea of ​​clear, bright objectivity” can be read from the preserved staircase, the “simple, somewhat stereotypical perforated facade and [on the] wide roof terraces”.

New building

Today there is a new building on Fetscherstrasse, which was completed by the architects Heinle, Wischer and Partner in 2003. The structures are arranged like a comb. Exposed concrete, wood, linoleum and natural stone were used in the construction.
