Great view of another modern multiplex structure near the busy ring road of Dresden... a five storey building of concrete, steel and glass with an unique leaning design... it has eight cinema halls and 14 screens placed in pairs in the flour floors of the building with a seating capacity of 2700....  the "Crystal" UFA cinema is one of the most popular cinemas in the local area... with first stamp using a matrix code next to the actual stamp motif... and with nice special first day postmark about it👍.... from 2022 all stamps will have a QR code... Thanks a lot Dustin!❀◕ ‿ ◕❀

The Ufa Kristallpalast or Crystal Palace was built between 1993 and 1998 by the Austrian architects Coop Himmel (I)au who were known for their many avant garde construction designs.

The heavy concrete structure shields the cinema halls and the foyer from the traffic noise of the traffic on the road. The architecture of the building is a combination of deconstructivism and German expressionism.
