The Porzellanwerk Rosenthal am Rotbühl in Selb, Bavaria, is an industrial porcelain factory complex designed by Alexander Cvijanovic in collaboration with The Architects Collaborative and Walter Gropius. As an architectural heritage monument, the ensemble exemplifies modernist industrial design principles, reflecting the influence of Bauhaus thinking through its association with Gropius and his firm. The factory buildings constitute a significant cultural heritage ensemble within Selb's porcelain manufacturing landscape, preserving both the functional architecture of ceramic production and the design legacy of mid-twentieth-century German industrial modernism.
