The Braune Hirsch (formerly also the Roter Hirsch ) is a baroque town house in the town of Görlitz in Upper Lusatia . The corner house is located on the eastern side of the Untermarkt and on Neißstraße, which continues towards the old town bridge over the Lausitzer Neisse .
history
The Braune Hirsch is one of the most spacious houses in the old town of Görlitz and for a long time was one of the most distinguished inns and breweries in the city. The building was redesigned many times and received its current baroque appearance in 1722 under the general advisor Johann Christoph Pößner. A stone on the side of the house facing the market reminds him of him. The previous building was largely destroyed in the town fire in 1717. The six keystones on the three Gothic bows on the market side with the dates 1486 and 1539 with house brands still remind of him .
The Görlitz mayor Seifrid Goswin around 1475 and the town clerk Georg Voit around 1490 are among the best-known early owners. Michel Schmid, who owned the Brauner Hirsch around 1545, immortalized his name in one of the keystones.
The facade is structured above the ground floor ledge by twelve flat pilasters with noble composite capitals and console-like bases. The coat of arms on the market side probably shows the Poessner coat of arms. Around 1838 the merchant and pharmacist Leopold Pape carried out extensive renovations inside and furnished a hall. He also opened the shops on Neissstrasse. However, the building only got the characteristic stag on the corner of the house under the subsequent owner Ulrich Domke. The Upper Lusatian Society of Sciences , founded in 1779 , initially held its meetings in the Brauner Hirsch until it moved to the middle of the Untermarkt in the new department store on the north side of the line in 1792 . From 1804 she had her permanent domicile at the opposite corner house, the baroque house at Neißstraße 30 . During the GDR era, the large former inn was handed over to the workers and farmers faculty of the Dresden Technical University , which used the building primarily as a boarding school. The university also took over the restoration of the house.
The most famous guests hosted by the Brown Stag include the King of Westphalia Jérôme Bonaparte (1812), the Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher (September 3rd / 4th, 1813), the Prussian kings Friedrich Wilhelm III. (1835) and Friedrich Wilhelm IV. (1831, 1833, 1840 and 1844) as well as the Russian Tsar Nicholas I (1838) and the Russian heir to the throne Alexander II (1840). The later German Emperor Wilhelm I stayed here in 1819, as did the Reichsverweser Johann von Österreich (1848) and Prince Friedrich Karl , who also briefly used the Brown Deer as his headquarters in the German War in 1866.
In the summer of 2009, scenes for the film Goethe! turned. Presumably, the model for the film Johann Wolfgang von Goethe dined on his flying visit on July 31, 1790 in the Brauner Hirsch.
The house also served as a monastery backdrop in Wes Anderson's 2013 film Grand Budapest Hotel .
