The Faculty of Chemistry building, ul. ks. Marcina Strzody, early 20th century 

This Neo-Gothic building, known as the “Red Chemistry” block, was constructed for the Royal School of Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgy between 1906 and 1907, to a design by Wilhelm Kranz. The façade features clinker bricks in varied colours, while the structure is distinguished by its stepped gables and a tall tower bearing the Prussian coat of arms of Gliwice rendered in majolica.
