Zitat aus wikipedia: 1928 wurde im Rahmen einer Jahresschau in Dresden das „erste Kugelhaus der Welt“ auf dem Städtischen Ausstellungsgelände am Großen Garten erbaut. In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wurde das Kugelhaus als „undeutsch“ angesehen und 1938 abgerissen.

The Kugelhaus, or "Ball House," in Dresden, built in 1928, stands as a pioneering example of modern architecture. It was renowned for its spherical design, which was revolutionary at the time and marked a departure from traditional building forms. The structure housed exhibition rooms and a restaurant, serving as a cultural and social hub in Dresden.

However, despite its innovative design and functional use, the Kugelhaus faced opposition from the Nazi regime, which labeled it as "un-German" due to its modernist aesthetic. This ideological conflict led to the building's demolition in 1938, as part of the Nazis' campaign against avant-garde and non-conformist architectural styles.

The Kugelhaus remains a symbol of architectural experimentation and the challenges faced by modernist architects during periods of political upheaval. Its brief existence left a lasting impact on architectural history, inspiring future generations with its bold and visionary design.

Audienz bei einem frühen Staatsverweigerer

Nicht der ganze Wiener Wurstelprater gehört zum Staate Österreich

  In der 1976 gegründeten Republik Kugelmugel gibt es fallweise Events Wien – Davor ein Wirtshaus mit Gastgarten, dahinter die Silhouette des Riesenrads – sowie die Hochschaubahn, von der das Kreischen der Passagiere tönt: In der Spaßlandschaft des Wiener Wurstelpraters nimmt sich das stacheldrahtumzäunte Kugelhaus aus Holz klein…

In 1928, an unusual building - the Kugelhaus - was built in the exhibition square next to the Stübelplatz in Dresden. The characteristic spherical house was designed by architect Peter Birkenholz, fascinated by this type of construction. Unfortunately, in 1938 the building was demolished by the Nazis.
