Inaugurated in 1905, the former "Royal Saxon Educational Institution for the Blind and Feeble-Minded" marks an important developmental step in the construction of institutions in the early 20th century due to its connection between urban development, architecture, open space design and social history.
The property, which covers approx. 21 hectares, is a listed building. Today, the facility houses the Saxon School for the Blind as well as other facilities for the rehabilitation of blind children and adolescents.
In the environment of the renovated old buildings and a new school building, the focus is on the redesign of the network of paths, gardens, playgrounds and open spaces for school operations as well as the woody vegetation in accordance with the preservation order.
Special attention is paid to the coordination between the requirements of a modern school and rehabilitation operation for the blind and the concerns of historic preservation.
