As an urban planner, he viewed Le Corbusier critically and preferred the European urban building tradition, in which individual originality was given up in favor of adapting to the overall urban appearance. At the “ Güntzpalast ” in Dresden, Rauda created a slightly recessed perimeter block development facing Güntzstrasse, while he designed a small piazza with a fountain facing Striesener Strasse . In 1951 he built the Bethlehem Church in Tolkewitz . The student residence at Fritz-Löffler-Straße 16/18 was also designed by Rauda.
