The newly renovated steel house at Dessau-Törten Housing Estate can be visited on Open Monument Day.
Guided tours provide an introduction to the history of the building, which was built in 1926/27 according to plans by Georg Muche and Richard Paulick, and explain the various refurbishment measures since the 1970s. The focus is particularly on the special structural features that had to be dealt with: the steel panel construction developed together with the Leipzig safe construction company Carl Kästner AG, the materials used for the interior fittings, insulation made of peat (‘Torfoleum’), plastered cinder blocks, a Rabitz ceiling and the red-coloured stonewood screed of the house, which was reconstructed in 2024 according to a traditional recipe and laying technique.
