The Kulturpalast is a concert hall in the centre of Dresden, built between 1966 and 1969 as a multipurpose cultural venue for the GDR. After a major renovation completed in 2017, it became the permanent home of the Dresdner Philharmonie, featuring a new vineyard-style concert hall with outstanding acoustics.
