Café Donnersberg
The Café Donnersberg was a café on Rähnitzgasse 7 in Dresden , which owes its name to the Donnersberg parliamentary group in the Frankfurt National Assembly . Later it was called Café Chocolat , but its new operators had to close the shop again due to extensive and probably long-lasting construction work in the area.
Along with the Hotel Bellevue and the Hotel Hilton Dresden, the building is one of the few examples of the reconstructing , historicizing architecture of the 1980s in Dresden, which shaped the late phase of Eastern postmodernism . Details of the house were built in the style of town houses from the first half of the 18th century.
A town house from the early 18th century stood at Rähnitzgasse 7 until 1988, which stood on the cellar vaults of an older house destroyed in 1685. In 1988 this was demolished and a new building was rebuilt closely following the previous building. The arched portal on the back of the café house built in 1988 has been preserved from the house. The building has an illusion painting on the ground floor depicting grooved horizontal cornices . There are two upper floors on the ground floor. The first floor shows a front length of six window axes facing Rähnitzstrasse, whereby the four windows in the middle of the house are particularly richly decorated with architectural sculptures. This architectural decoration includes profiled walls, console volutes and straight window roofs . On the second floor the windows do not have straight, but curved lintels, each decorated with a keystone.
