history

November 1989

In March 1912 the pharmacist Richard Matthes applied for a three-storey building with a heavily developed attic as a residential and commercial building for his pharmacy, designed by the Dresden architect Hübel. The Radebeul community council considered the draft to be inadmissible and one week after it was submitted, it turned to the Saxon Homeland Security Association for an assessment and a request for suggestions for improvement. In the protocol of the State Association of Saxon Homeland Security it was noted: “The present unfortunate solution is due to the property. Floor plans and elevations show deficiencies in practical, functional, economic and aesthetic terms. […] At the suggestion of the assembly, [the client] turns to the architect Menzel. ”At the end of the same month, the building advice center of the Menzel regional association received new designs that were recommended for implementation.

The pharmacist withdrew his first building application and submitted the planning by architect Menzel for approval, which took place in May 1912. The original designer, the builder Benno Hübel, received the construction, the completion of which was announced in October 1912.
