Built in 1911 (Heinrich Tessenow) the Festspielhaus Hellerau was a center of european modern art until WW I. From 1937-1992 it has been used first by the german, then the russian army. Since then it's used for cultural purposes again (since 2004 the "European Center for the Arts Hellerau is located here).
