history

Wundtstrasse student dormitories in the 1970s

After the bombing of Dresden in February 1945, the inner city area in particular was largely destroyed. There was a lack of housing, which was particularly evident in Dresden due to the locations of the TH Dresden and, from 1952, the University of Transport . Apartments had to be created for the numerous students in a short time. The first student residences in Dresden were built on Zellescher Weg , Reichenbachstrasse and Güntzstrasse by 1955 . The first prefabricated buildings were erected on St. Petersburger Strasse by 1963 and are now a listed building. In addition to the construction of the prefabricated buildings on Hochschulstraße, the high point of the student dormitory construction is the construction of the student dormitories on Wundtstraße: “Above all, the 'cluster' formation with six towers on Wundtstraße then became the urban model for the developments in Zschertnitz , Prohlis and Gorbitz . “The Wundtstrasse student dormitories were designed in the 1960s by a“ working group between the TU Dresden and the office of the district architect of the district council ”as an extension of the student dormitory complex on Zellescher Weg into a“ student town ”. Due to the limited space available in the western connection to the Zellescher Weg residential complex and the requirement to create 2500 new dormitory places, a close development of the area was necessary: ​​“The chosen staggered arrangement of the buildings was due to the fulfillment of the requirements for compliance with the minimum tanning requirement for the flats."

Construction and renovation

The student residences on Wundtstrasse 1–11 form a group of six 15-storey high-rise buildings with a total of 902 single rooms and 382 single apartments. The skyscrapers were designed by Gunnar Hartmann , Horst Burggraf and Peter Schramm and built from 1969 to 1971. The buildings were built as large slab constructions using pure concrete .

In September 1972, the residential homes at Wundtstrasse 1 and 11 with a total capacity of 1000 beds were completed. Both were dormitories of the University of Transport (HfV).

Today they represent “a group of a total of six older high-rise buildings [...] that were converted by five architects [...] [...]. The ensemble is shaped by the individuality in the group ”. In 2002, the architects Baarß + Löschner renovated the student dormitory at Wundtstrasse 9. The staircase tower of the dormitory was given a "colored backlit facade" made of glass. It is "wedge-shaped towards the entrance and thus appears to be resting on the heavy reinforced concrete roof above the entrance", the color of the building is light brown with red window frames. The renovation of the Wundtstrasse 11 building was carried out by Ulf Zimmermann in 2002 and created a facade in gray tones with red accents. Other high-rise buildings in the Wundtstrasse complex were redeveloped in shades of blue (No. 3, 2004), a brown-red facade (No. 5, 2008) and a silver / red outer wall (No. 7, 2009). At the beginning of the summer semester 2011, all tenants moved out of Wundtstrasse 1 so that the renovation of the last high-rise building could begin.

Exterior surfaces

The plant has Wundtstraße by landscape architect Günter Kretzschmar designed green spaces with different, related to student life sculptures, so Theo Baldens sculpture dialogue . The towering sculpture Studentensport by Helmut Heinze and Wilhelm Landgraf from 1973 is "quasi as the fulcrum between the high-rise apartment buildings on Wundtstrasse [and has become an urban accent beyond the visual arts". While the green space design in other prefabricated building complexes was often omitted due to lack of money, the Wundtstraße complex is considered "despite all the inadequacies of the GDR building system [as] designed and implemented in an exemplary manner".

Student clubs

Originally there were three student clubs in the dormitories on Wundtstrasse . Named after their domicile, these were the clubs Wu1, Wu5 and Wu11. Other clubs were located in the rooms of the neighboring dormitories on Zellescher Weg. With the renovation of house no. 5, the student club Wu5 had to move to no. 1 as the last club left here. With the renovation of No. 1, Club Wu5 received new premises in the Tusculum student house in August-Bebel-Straße in 2012 .
