This building was built in 1857 by the Leipzig-Dresdener
Eisenbahn as "departure hall" of the station Leipziger
Bahnhof. In 1901 with the opening of the new station
Dresden-Neustadt this station was closed for passenger 
traffic and used for freight trains since then. Today only
a part of the building remains, mostly in ruins. 2001-07-29
