The Koch & Sterzel assembly hall is a factory hall on Washingtonstrasse in Dresden- Uebigau, which was built by the Koch & Sterzel company between 1924 and 1928 for the production of transformers on the site of the former airship port . The building, which was expanded in 1936 and 1941, served the VEB Transformatoren- und Röntgenwerk Dresden during the GDR era and has been used by Siemens AG since 1997 . It is a listed building .

The hall is a long, high building with a simplified temple facade . The temple facade has an ocular in the triangular gable . The area between the temple columns is glazed (“glazed intercolumns”). In the gable roof located skylights of the hall give the necessary light. Simple but strong cornices and vertical ribbon windows structure the long sides of the building.

The facade of the hall cites the architecture of the Hellerau Festival Hall by Heinrich Tessenow : The building "takes up the type of the temple front and appears to be influenced by the Hellerau Festival Hall ". The monumental style within the reform architecture of the festival hall from the pre-war period ( First World War ) is continued here in the 1920s in the "conservative modernity ".
