The Zen Center is a room in the Zentralwerk at Riesaer Strasse 32. To get to the Zen Center, walk from the main entrance across the courtyard and behind the house (“Tower D”) on the opposite side. There is the entrance to the staircase. The Zen Center is located on the 2nd floor.

It is also possible to reach the Zen Center via the entrance from the main house. In the main house, keep left and go down the stairs once to get to Tower D. Then just take the stairs up to the 2nd floor.
