Presernova street
From the monument we return to Ulica talcev and turn
into Presernova ulica. To our left we climb the stairs to
the building housing the Union movie theatre. The Union
building was constructed before World War I by the
Maribor brewer Gotz. The great acoustic hall is still
used for a variety of events: movies, concerts, meetings,
and memorials are held there as well. A second movie
theatre, the Kino gledalisce, was later added to the
Union building. From the back, the two buildings face Rakusev
trg (Rakusa Square), dedicated to the stenographer
Rudolf Rakusa. 
The wine
cellars of the Vinag winery are located under
neath the Square. The company has its offices in Trg
svobode 3. The cellars extend over an area of two
hectares and can accommodate six million litres of wine.
Opposite the Square is both the self-service and the
table-service Restaurant Center (Presernova 8). A
Vetrinje Farm, a military hospital. and a students'
dormatory were once at its present site. Next to the
restaurant, on a gently elevated terrace, at the corner
of Razlagova ulica, is the School of Economics and
Business Administration. Placed in front of the building
is a sculpture created as part of the Maribor Forma Viva
in 1970 by the American sculptor Graves Bradford A second
school of Economics and Business Administration,
housing administrative offices, lecture halls, and
classrooms, is located in the new building on Razlagova
ulica 20.
