Sächsischer Landtag - Sakski krajny sejm
Sächsischer Landtag stands in Dresden as the seat of Saxony’s state parliament, with transparent glass façades and an exposed steel skeleton. Designed by Peter Kulka, the building took shape between 1991 and 1993 after German reunification, creating a striking architectural presence beside the Elbe.
The new plenary hall opened on 3 October 1993, the third anniversary of German Unity, while the official transfer followed in February 1994. After the 2002 Elbe floods, sensitive technical equipment moved to higher floors and additional flood protection strengthened the building. A Bürgerfoyer also hosts regular exhibitions and cultural events, giving public life a place within this working parliament.
Before moving here, Saxony’s parliament met at Dreikönigskirche in Innere Neustadt, while plans to return to the historic Sächsisches Ständehaus gave way to new construction. The building is wheelchair accessible, and its visible steel structure remains the detail most likely to stay with you.
