Rough structure and fine texture

As part of the reform of the police structure in the Free State of Saxony, the patrol and criminal investigation service has been centralised at the Werdau site. In order to meet future space requirements, the police station was extended into the neighbouring listed building of the former district court. The new functions were organised in the existing buildings and a new intermediate and connecting building. The new building serves as a link between the existing buildings and is being used for the emergency vehicles and meeting areas. The uses of the criminal investigation and patrol service as well as the new police station, administration and management level animate the existing building. The new building mediates between the different heights of the existing buildings and the topography of the site.
