Since mid-June, a 9-strong team from the Saxony State Office for Archaeology has been investigating the areas next to the demolished Robotron building that remained undeveloped after 1945. This measure has become necessary because a new residential area with underground car parks is being built here and the construction work for the new buildings would irretrievably destroy the archaeology still preserved in the ground. In the process, building structures and cellars from the 18th century to 1945, four presumably late medieval / early modern house cellar pits and a still undated building floor plan of a predecessor development, which was probably abandoned around 1600 or a little later, cultural layers from the High Middle Ages, 16th and 18th centuries were found., Excavations, Dresden, Saxony, Germany, Europe
