Schlossstraße 2
01067 Dresden

The Kulturpalast (culture palace) of Dresden is the only building on the north side of the Altmarkt Square. Characteristic for the Kulturpalast‘s architecture are the light, transparent opening of the foyer towards the Altmarkt place and on the other side the far visible sheet copper roof above the main hall. A terrace separates the first and second floor from the groundfloor of the square building, which is vested in red granite. Five doors made of bronze form the main entrance to the Altmarkt. The cladding on the west side shows a wallpicture »Weg der roten Fahne« (»Way of the red Banner«) made of coloured granulate.

The heart of the Kulturpalast is the main hall offering max. 2,435 seats. It is an ideal venue for concerts, shows, musicals as well as ballet and can be converted into a festive ballroom or dining hall. Furthermore, the hall offers excellent working conditions for big national and international meetings and conferences in parliamentary seating. From all seats the main hall allows undisturbed view of the stage.
