Albertplatz (Radebeul)
The Albert Square is an inner-local, passable road space in the original district of the Saxon town of Radebeul . It is created by three intersecting streets and forms the Wilhelminian center of an apartment building district west of the Radebeul industrial area .
Location
The residential area is located between Meißner Strasse in the northeast and Sidonienstrasse in the southwest; Immediately beyond Sidonienstraße is the Radebeul Ost train station , which in turn is connected to Meißner Straße via Hauptstraße. From the main road in the north-west, Wichernstrasse runs parallel between Meißner Strasse and Sidonienstrasse in a south-east direction, crosses Zinzendorfstrasse as the north-western border, crosses Albertplatz and runs to Kiefernstrasse, which forms the border with the Radebeul industrial area and largely along the local fencing of the Dresden pharmaceuticals plant runs. At the time the square was created, it was the premises of the chemical factory v. Heyden . Hellerstraße runs parallel to Kiefernstraße from southwest to northeast, from Sidonienstraße over Albertplatz to Meißner Straße. The two latter longitudinal streets are also connected by Louisenstraße, which crosses Albertplatz in an almost northerly direction.
The roadsides are mostly built on with residential buildings, the inner block areas are partly free and partly built on. In the southeastern piece of cake, so behind the corner house Louis Road 7, which is located on the Wichernstraße fire station Radebeul-East of the volunteer fire department Radebeul. In the piece of cake behind the farmhouse, i.e. Wichernstrasse / Hellerstrasse, only about half of the residential buildings can be found. Otherwise there is still the western part of the industrial area with the buildings of the former VEB Steckenpferd at Hellerstraße 23 as the western part and in the east the premises of Teehaus GmbH , which belongs to the Teekanne company and which was established there as the Otto E. Weber coffee substitute factory as early as 1881.
Hellerstraße is an old route from Alt-Radebeul to Junge Heide . The road was expanded in 1894/95. Wichernstrasse was expanded in 1885, and Louisenstrasse from 1895 to 1897, which probably also gave rise to the star-shaped structure.
Development
Albertplatz does not have its own postal address. The addresses of the front buildings on the six corner plots facing the square belong to the three intersecting streets of Wichernstrasse , Hellerstrasse and Louisenstrasse . Starting in the northwest and then going clockwise, these are the following cultural monuments :
- the turn-of-the-century houses at Wichernstrasse 22 and Louisenstrasse 9
- in the east the former farmhouse at Hellerstraße 11, which was expanded in the 19th century
- the turn of the century houses Louisenstrasse 7 and Hellerstrasse 9 ( Villa Fiedler ) as well
- in the west the thirties double house Wichernstrasse 21 / 21a
While the four apartment buildings from around 1900, which were previously equipped with shops, are two-wing corner buildings with a wide, broken corner design facing the square, the farmhouse facing the square is the last evidence of original rural land use, while the semi-detached house built along the line of the Hellerstraße represents the first example of modern building.
Naming
Albertplatz was named in 1903 after King Albert of Saxony, who died in 1902 . Today's Wichernstrasse, one of the three intersecting streets, was named Albertstrasse as early as 1897. Louisenstrasse, dedicated in 1897, also bears the name of a member of the Saxon royal family. Only Hellerstraße, which was dedicated in 1897, was named after the formerly adjoining inn "Zum last Heller".
In 1999 the name Albertplatz was officially confirmed.
