Dresden-Hellerau
GebäudeEnsemble Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau
“Live and Work, Culture and Nature” – based on this important and successful model, in the beginning of the 20th century, the entrepreneur Karl Schmidt, together with the organization Deutscher Werkbund, established the German garden city of Hellerau as well as its central building ensemble GebäudeEnsemble Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau.
In the last years, the building ensemble has become a magnet for many innovative companies. In total, there are nearly 400 technologists, scientists, architects, artists, and designers living and working on the premises. The charming courtyard and the presentable conference and event facilities are meanwhile said to be an insider tip in Dresden and are gladly used by not only local but also international companies for conferences, seminars, product shows, and meetings.
