Where to make a killing
The master architect Hans Erlwein, who designed the warehouse which now serves as the congress hotel of ICD, also designed a large new indoor stockyard and slaughterhouse complex, completed in 1910 and made famous by American author Kurt Vonnegut in his book “Slaughterhouse 5”. It is located on the Elbe River in Dresden-Friedrichstadt, close to the city centre and well connected by tram. The only ones to make a killing these days are businessmen who come to business meetings and trade fairs conducted in the modernized buildings today. Congresses up to 10,000 participants are possible today and many concerts and other events take place on site. |
