Robotron canteen in Dresden: 4 million euros for art and culture!

Dresden, Deutschland - in Dresden there is gratifying news: The federal government has promised a funding of four million euros for the renovation of the former Robotron canteen on Lignalle. These funding comes from the "National Projects of Urban Surround" and are intended to help to transform the historical canteen into a pulsating place for art and culture. In addition to the federal funds, the Arnhold family also supports the project with a generous donation of 1.5 million euros, as well as urban own funds. In total, the renovation costs amount to around 6.1 million euros, such as Sächsische.de

The Robotron canteen, a building with history, was built between 1969 and 1972 as a company canteen for the GDR electronics combination Robotron. Now it should be revived. A comprehensive repair of the building envelope, roof renovation and the modernization of the technical infrastructure is planned. A planning competition will give the starting signal for the renovation. The construction work should begin in 2027 and be completed by the end of 2028 at the latest. The redesign of the canteen will also have a positive impact on the planned housing construction in the Lingnerstadt, where more than 1,000 new apartments are to be created, as well as Iz.de emphasized.

a new cultural center

The aim of the renovation is to develop the Robotron canteen into an international place for art and encounter. Among other things, the contemporary art biennial Ostral will take place there regularly in the future. This Biennale started its current run in the Robotron canteen on June 7 and will find a permanent place there in the future. This is intended to help establish a creative center that increases the quality of life of the people in the region and at the same time preserves the cultural heritage.

The promotion of art and cultural projects also plays an important role in the further context. As Deutsches-ehrenamt.de notes, the federal government contributes around two billion euros to cultural funding in Germany every year, which makes up for around 17% of total expenses in this area. The support of cultural projects not only has a valuable social, but also an economic aspect. They promote the well -being of the citizens and enrich the local community.

With the renovation of the Robotron canteen, not only a historic building is preserved, but also an impulse for the artistic and cultural development of the city. The anticipation for the upcoming changes is great and it remains to be seen which creative impulses this transformation will bring!
