HTWK Leipzig Wiener Bau Fakultät Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik
HTWK Leipzig Wiener Bau Fakultät Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik is a university building in Leipzig, designed for technical education. The wheelchair-accessible structure presents three storeys, short side wings and a long, orderly façade.
Hugo Licht designed the building for Leipzig’s Städtische Gewerbeschule in the late nineteenth century. Classrooms, studios, workshops and machine rooms supported practical training in drawing, engineering and skilled trades. Extensions followed in the early twentieth century as the school expanded into mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and other technical fields. The building later housed several reorganised institutions before becoming part of HTWK Leipzig’s engineering education.
Norbert Wiener, the mathematician associated with cybernetics, gives the Wiener Bau its name. Large skylights still distinguish the upper-floor classrooms, which once served as drawing studios. A thorough renovation preserved this setting for contemporary engineering teaching, research and innovation.
