This building that is today the Bürgerhaus, was in April 1945 one of the headquaters of the US occupying forces in then still III Reich. This is where Eisenhover and other generals get the information that the US president Roosevelt is dead. Interesting, especially the fact that this part of Thüringen was taken by the Americans. This was also true for a part of Sachsen-Anhalt and a part of Saxony (including Leipzig), but overall this part was ceeded to the Soviets, probably because of Berlin.
