Bishop press

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bishop's press , consisting of a press house and the later winery ( mansion ), is the wine press originally belonging to the Meißner bishops on the Zitzschewiger corridor. It is located east of the village center of Zitzschewig, which today belongs to Radebeul , in Bischofsweg 1.

The buildings listed as early as 1904 in Gurlitt's art monuments in Dresden's environs and now listed buildings are located on Bischofsweg below the Hohenhaus , which at that time also belonged to the Meissen bishops . Today privately used Ensemble in the wine situation Radebeuler Johannisberg is located in the conservation area Historic vineyard landscape Radebeul . The Bishop's press is the Dehio manual as an example of the smooth transition from the simple winegrowers' houses of the Lößnitz to the more stately houses.

The entire property, which is now divided into two plots, is located on a corner plot of land facing Kapellenweg, east of the village center of Zitzschewig, behind a high enclosure wall. Diagonally opposite is the Naundorf-Zitzschewig cemetery .

Winegrower's house and bakery

The two-storey building has a massive ground floor and an upper storey made of half-timbered structures , above which is a tiled hipped roof with a row of gable dormers , above each with bat dormers . Formerly in the middle there was a basket arch portal with a keystone on the street as well as on the garden side , today offset a little to the east by the extension of a window axis (4 meters) made in 1773.

In the infills there were remains of an illusion painting , the representation of which creates a “surprising color impression”.

The small bakery near the corner of the property was also restored.

Round temple

The re-erected classical round temple stands south of the bishop's press in the middle of a garden . Made of sandstone, six pillars stand on simple, cubic pedestals , they support an architrave with a cornice and a flat dome .

The following inscription runs around the dome:

DEATH WARD US
THE VICTOR SHEUN
BIRTH TO ETERNAL
AND NOBLE LIVES.

Inside there is a vase monument on a pillar with an inscription that has now faded:

MONUMENT
THE PAINFUL SEPARATION
MARRIAGE LOVE
MARCH 3, 1811

Press house

The press house is single-storey and made of solid stone, it stands on a vaulted cellar and has a brick-roofed half-hip roof . In the 18th century, an extension was added at right angles to the building, which essentially dates from the second half of the 16th century.

In 2001 the press house was renovated and converted into a residential building.

history

Bishop's press (center) and surroundings (1913): On the right the Naundorf-Zitzschewig cemetery with the Johannes
chapel , in the middle row from the right: Landhaus Richard Nitzschke , Landhaus Alban Mannschatz and the outbuilding of the Hohenhaus , above the Wettinshöhe

In 1373 the Meißner Bishop Konrad II. Von Kirchberg-Wallhausen had a wine press with wine cellar built on the Bischofsberg , which , like the vineyard, remained in the possession of the bishops until the secularization in 1539. It is one of the oldest of the properties that can be proven in the Lößnitz localities .

The core of today's press house building dates from the 2nd half of the 16th century. On the map by Matthias Oeder (after 1586) the building is named Simon Clauss Preß , after the Naundorf farmer Simon Clauss, who acquired it in 1584, as did the Hohenhaus. Around 1600 the press was then sold to the Dresden councilors Jacob Kuffer and Conrad Rühle. Further changes of ownership of the press took place in 1620 and 1654. Around 1680, the electoral tax secretary Michael Findekeller had today's winegrower's house (mansion) built (see also Zechstein ). Around 1724 the property was owned by the Teubern Secret War Council. In 1773 the house was extended by a window axis by the Dresden merchant and merchant Gottfried Rentzsch.

From 1794 the property was owned by the Elz family for several generations. The Dresden city surgeon Michael Elz († 1820) had a classicist friendship temple built in the garden in 1811 in memory of his wife, who died early . The bakery was also built around 1800.

After the death of Elz's last resident descendant in 1951, the ensemble came into the hands of the city by inheritance, which housed several apartments there. Despite increasing deterioration, the threatened demolition could be averted by the residents, supported by the master builder Franz Jörissen .

After privatization in 1994, the buildings were renovated over the course of about ten years, and the round temple , which was removed in 1973 , was rebuilt around 1995. The bishop's press is used today as an apartment building. The press house came into separate hands, to a stone setting master who set up the house and office there.

The building owner of the Bischofspresse, an architect with his family, received the Radebeul building owner award in the category of monument preservation restoration in 2005 for the renovation .

Nowadays the house is privately owned.
