The Neue Messe Dresden is the name of the project to convert the listed area of ​​the Dresden cattle and slaughterhouse in Friedrichstadt into a trade fair and exhibition center in Dresden . The complementary new building of the foyer is a "simple steel-glass cube". The entrance hall has a transparent glass facade and an exposed steel frame construction. The New Fair takes over the tasks of the former exhibition center Fučíkplatz , on which the Transparent Factory stands today.

description

The Dresden cattle and slaughterhouse was inaugurated by city building officer Hans Erlwein on August 19, 1910 after five years of construction. This was built in the form of a settlement that was surrounded by a ring road . The slaughterhouse is built in the homeland security style; “The buildings, which are very varied and lavishly designed, can be seen as an example of so-called Heimatschutz architecture ”. The urban planning highlight of the "small town" is a square that is surrounded by representative buildings such as a hotel with a restaurant, gatehouse and administration building. The slaughterhouse area deteriorated increasingly after 1995.

In June 1998 HVB Projekt from Munich acquired the site and in December of the same year the city of Dresden approved the construction of the new exhibition center . The building was built from 2000 to 2001 according to the designs of the architects KMSP (Kaplan, Matzke, Schöler + Partner). The cost was 65 million marks.

A new central entrance foyer was built into the historic building complex by Walter Kaplan, Christian Matzke and Klausjürgen Schüler. This is a low, flat building on a rectangular floor plan. A towering roof is supported by slender concrete pillars. The inside of the foyer is a light-flooded, bright glass hall and shows a "clear functionality" and is "a simple cube in steel and glass."

A glazed connecting corridor connects three exhibition halls from the converted former slaughterhouse area, whereby "towards the middle ... the walls of the wings were opened with large windows". There is a bistro with an outdoor terrace, which is used for open-air events.

Hall 1 is located in the rear part as a completely new and purely functional building, which forms the largest hall with 7,200 m², followed by Hall 4 with 4,600 m² and Hall 2 with 3,600 m². The smallest hall is Hall 3 with 3,000 m². The Erlweinsaal offers space for 250 people. 3 conference rooms and parking spaces are available.

A biomorphic lake forms the western end of the building complex of the new fair. The former little house with a lavatory is now in the middle island, not far from the main entrance.
