Driving ban on Prager Strasse: Risk of collapse forces the blocking!

Driving ban on Prager Strasse: Risk of collapse forces the blocking!

From now on, Prague Strasse in Dresden is closed above the underground car park and the development buildings underneath for cars and trucks. This measure became necessary after a building -tatical specialist examination confirmed in May 2025 that the building built in 1970 could not withstand a critical stability test. In order to ensure the safety of the passers -by and the structure of the building, the underground building has now been secured with security supports. This is reported by the city of Dresden in its press release, in which the comprehensive measures that were taken in response to the examination are also discussed.

The city has already placed twelve trees in plant trees between the two sales pavilions of Prague Straße to prevent driving on vehicles. In addition, bollards and concrete guidelines were installed in front of the Hotel Occidental Dresden Newa and near the Cineplex crystal palace. These measures serve to significantly increase security in public space and at the same time to ensure the stability of the building, which is one of the longest residential buildings in Germany. Fire brigade plans for the pavilions and the Prague line are also currently being revised so that they can act quickly in an emergency.

security measures and costs

for the driving ban and the barriers, the city expected costs of around 12,000 euros. It is particularly important that pedestrians and cyclists are not affected by the restrictions in the Prague line. In this way, the area remains accessible to you, while drivers and truck drivers have to rethink.

The building, which was built in a prefabricated construction between 1965 and 1967, comprises twelve floors and has a total of 561 apartments. The renovation in 2007, in which senior citizens -friendly living was also taken into account, was awarded the "Future Wohnen 2009" architecture award in the "Living in the existing" category. It consists of five static independent parts of the building. But now the next challenge is pending: the underground development system and the underground car park urgently need to be upgraded. Initial planning work is already underway in the office for building construction and real estate of the city of Dresden.
