The new,
vibrant centre
of Heidenau


Revitalisation of the site of the former machine factory

The development site is the former “Maschinenfabrik Heidenau GmbH”, located in Heidenau, Saxony, directly adjacent to the city limits of Dresden.

The former buildings that were not considered worthy of preservation have been demolished and properly dismantled and disposed of. The remaining buildings that are relevant for monument protection have been secured and documented in the existing inventory. Soil investigations have been carried out to a sufficient extent and are documented.

„The MAFA Park as the new centre of Heidenau — a lively
and diverse urban quarter where old and new come together,
for young and old.“

Statement Prof. Peter Kulka Architecture


Shaping urban development

The overall scale of roughly 7.0 hectares and the uniqueness of the site make it possible to create an autonomous, powerful district that sets spatial and design accents and fosters a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere. 

The strong presence of the existing structures will be preserved and continue to live on as a layer of history alongside the new. New building forms — deliberately including taller buildings in places — will, in harmony with the existing fabric, promote variety, openness and social mixing …

Great access by
car and public transport

The distance to the city centre of the state capital Dresden is approx. 12 km. By car via the A17 motorway interchange (approx. 6 km away) the journey takes only about 22 minutes.

Travel time to Dresden city centre by S‑bahn from Heidenau station — roughly 1 km away and within walking distance — is about 15 minutes.

Travel time to the ESMC site in Dresden‑Klotzsche by S‑bahn: approx. 25 minutes (Heidenau S‑bahn station: approx. 1 km away).

The planned IPO — Industriepark Oberelbe Pirna / Heidenau / Dohna, which will provide industrial and commercial land totaling 140 hectares (up to 80% of which may be developed) — is also only about 5 km from the MAFA‑Park site …

Chip industry: Dresden – region
of the future

The semiconductor industry in Dresden (Silicon Saxony) is one of Europe’s most important high‑tech clusters and the heart of European microelectronics.

Dresden has a long tradition in microelectronics. Even during GDR times there were strong research and production activities here (for example, the Centre for Microelectronics). After reunification this developed into the Silicon Saxony network (founded in 2000), which today comprises some 650–700 members (companies, research institutions, universities) and represents more than 20,000 employees in Saxony …
