The three-storey residential and commercial building , now under monument protection , is a corner building with an expanded, tiled mansard roof with dormers and roof houses. The long wing on Güterhofstrasse is exactly opposite the open station forecourt and thus forms its southern boundary, while the former station reception building represents its western boundary.

The “strongly structured” structure has a slightly protruding corner projecting in the form of a corner tower with a polygonal tent roof at the corner of the street crossing . The chamfered corner is emphasized on the two upper floors by an even more protruding bay window, which thus forms a canopy for the front door of the business premises on the corner. To the right of the bay window, the two upper floors have balconies facing the train station.

The longer wing of the residential and commercial building on Güterhofstrasse is open-plan , so it has a facade facing west. On the next lot, Güterhofstrasse 2, there is still a single-storey house from the time before suburban development. As a sign of the urban development at the time, the other, left wing of the building, in a closed construction, directly adjoins the neighboring building at Bahnhofstrasse 8a. The street façade of the wing is roughly symmetrical: analogous to the corner projection with bay windows and balconies, there is a side projection on the right side of the façade, also with bay windows and balconies. In the middle, the wing of the building has a central projecting raised by a triangular gable with oval window, the main entrance to the apartments is located in the storefront ground floor. The portal-like entrance shows Doric half-columns towards the deep door. The portal lintel has an inscription consisting of the initials PP for the builder Paul Pönitz and dating back to 1912. A beam head frieze forms the end of the upper floor .

The right wing of the building has three window axes in addition to the corner projection, also with a shop below.

The plastered street facades in the beginning reform style are structured and decorated with concrete blocks and plaster ornaments. On the ground floor there is plaster ashlar. The upper floors between a cornice and the eaves cornice have a pilaster structure between the individual window axes. The resulting mirror fields between the two upper floors are filled with simple geometric ornaments, while the mirror fields in the corner projections are adorned with elaborate baroque stucco decorations.

history

In April 1912, the businessman Paul Pönitz submitted the building application for the corner building, which was to connect to the neighboring building at Bahnhofstrasse 8a from 1898, which he owned. The design came from the builder Felix Sommer , who was also the site manager during the construction work. The move to the first half of the house was granted in February 1913, the rest of the building was released in September 1913.

After the Second World War, the only surviving partner of the J. Neumann publishing house in Neudamm / Neumark (West Pomerania), Martin Schönbrodt-Rühl (1904–1965), founded the Neumann publishing house in Radebeul, Saxony. The publishing house became the Güterhofstrasse 1. In 1948 the publishing house moved to the Villa Dr.-Schmincke-Allee 19 .

After the fall of the Wall in the GDR , the residential and commercial building was restored in accordance with the listed buildings.

(The corner house at Güterhofstrasse 1 is still a flat predecessor, the neighboring house at Bahnhofstrasse 8a is already standing. This results in a date from 1898 to 1912).
