The Hausberg café on Hohen Steig 4 is a former excursion restaurant in Dresden-Pillnitz .

description

The house built by Richard Merz in 1931 is a building that is characterized by the architectural language of New Building . The elongated veranda, the terrace and their roofing have been designed in a contemporary new and factual manner. The building has three floors on the front and two floors on the mountain side. The structural implementation of the "then revolutionary urban theories of the light-air-sun principle" can be clearly seen in the building. There is a veranda with ribbon-like sliding windows and a sweeping awning over the terrace, which opens up to the Elbe valley. Guests could linger there in good weather and had a wide view of Pillnitz and the Elbe Valley.

The building is a listed building and has not been used as a restaurant since 2004. It is planned to convert it into a residential building.
