The design idea for the new university library originates from industrial architecture (mining) Malakowturm = winding tower with fortress-like architecture (tower, machine house).
On 13 February 2019, the construction of the excavation pit and the laying of the foundation stone on 19 June 2019 marked the start of the construction of the new university library and lecture hall centre at TU Bergakademie Freiberg.
The first construction phase from 2019 to 2021 has been edited into a short film.
