Lindehaus
The Lindehaus used to be the administration building of the VEB Complete Chemical Plants at Wilsdruffer Strasse 27–29 in Dresden . After the fall of the Wall, the Linde lettering was striking , its light blue significantly disturbing the view of the historic silhouette from the Neustadt.
description
The building was built from 1966 to 1968 based on a design by the architects Heinz Mersiowsky and Erich Zieger. Bernhard Fellmann carried out the interior design . The building represented part of the southern development of what was then Ernst-Thälmann-Straße, today's Wilsdruffer Straße . It was a seven-story structure, with the first two floors being shops ( House of the Book ) with a usable area of 2000 square meters. At that time, 950 people were working in this building for VEB Complete Chemical Systems (KCA). The building was constructed using a reinforced concrete skeleton with a steel-aluminum-glass facade. The storeys were clad with Lusatian granite .
In 1969 the building on the corner of Postplatz was given a colored C in an implied four-atom molecule, on Wallstrasse the VEB KCA lettering and along Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse the VEB Complete Chemieanlagen lettering , all above the roof edge. While the VEB KCA was removed without replacement in 1990, the C in the molecule was replaced by a glowing blue lettering from Linde AG, to which the KCA had since been sold.
In 2009 the building was demolished for the extension of the Altmarkt-Galerie .
