history

The two neighboring properties, the Villa Dorothee and the residential building to the west of it in Finsteren Gasse 2 , are located at the foot of a historic vineyard that was called "zum Schöne Knecht". This name may go back to a Schoneknecht family who lived in the past.

In episcopal ownership until 1573 , according to a letter of purchase, the vineyard was transferred to the provincial rent master Barthel Lauterbach . The feudal letter for the winery was issued in 1583 by the Elector August . In 1622 one of his successors, Johann Georg I , carried out the inheritance transformation and transferred jurisdiction over the estate to the Mügeln office (in the Wurzen Abbey , Leipzig district ). At that time two knight horses belonged to the property, from which it is concluded that there were already buildings on the property. However, details of the buildings are not noted until 1776, when the Electorate Saxon captain Karl Otto Gleichmann sold his property in Finsteren Gasse, including the apartment and winegrower's house, shed, wine press and two fountains.

In 1872 the vineyard was divided: two house plots were divided up next to each other at the bottom of Bergstrasse, and the vineyard itself stretched almost to the edge of the building of the former Finstere Gasse 4 estate.

The building contractor Jacob Traugott Petzold applied for the construction of this house on December 30, 1872 , the design of which came from the 20-year-old architect Adolf Neumann. The building permit was issued in November 1873, the approval for use is from March 1876. Whether the construction was carried out by the Dresden architect and building trade owner Karl Dix is ​​questionable, the design responsibility and construction management could also have been with the architect Karl Vey.

"In 1974, one hundred years after the erection of the previously nameless rental villa, the current owner immortalized his daughter's beautiful first name here." This contradicts the representation that the villa got its name from the daughter of the Friedrich family, "at that time [i.e. 1873] Owner of the newly created property. "
