Union House Dresden
The Dresden Trade Union House (also known as the Dresdner Volkshaus ) is a listed building at Schützenplatz 14 in Dresden and the traditional seat of the trade unions in Dresden.
description
The union building, built by Carl Fritz Richter from 1929 to 1930, is a "block-like, voluminous extension with a tower-like elevation in the sober New Objectivity style ". The seven-storey reinforced concrete building was attached to a Volkshaus built between 1915 and 1916. The comparison between the trade union building from the years 1915/16 and the extension made in 1929/30 shows a "transition from historicism to the modern age of the early 20th century with the omission of indicated mirror fields, window canopies and ledges".
In 2006 the building was sold to Cerberus Capital Management together with the trade union houses in Leipzig, Zwickau, Bautzen, Chemnitz, Magdeburg, Jena and Suhl .
The union building was bought in June 2012 by Igemet, IG Metall's real estate asset management company.
