The 16th century Grillenburg hunting lodge in Tharandt, which has been unused for a long time, is to become the science and conference center of the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD). The federal and state governments are each investing 18 million euros in the project, as the TUD announced on Wednesday. Chancellor Jan Gerken spoke of a further step towards establishing the urgently needed facility. The substantial support from the federal and state governments makes it possible to develop the Schlossinsel site to "high standards of sustainability, accommodation and experience".
