An exciting challenge, which is not only addressed by architects, but also by experts from the areas of technical building equipment, building physics and landscape architecture, as reports media service.sachsen.de.

Prohlis, a district of Dresden, was selected as a location. A total usable area of ​​around 1,859 m² is planned, which is used around the clock by the various departments of the police station, including criminal service and Saxon security guard.

The jury, which met on June 27, 2025, has produced some remarkable results.
