Christian Gottlieb Ziller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Gottlieb Ziller (born December 9, 1807 in Radebeul , † July 30, 1873 in Oberlößnitz ) was a German builder in the Saxon Lößnitz northwest of the royal seat of Dresden . He came from the Saxon builder family Ziller and was a cousin of the Potsdam government building councilor Christian Heinrich Ziller as well as the father of the builder of the Greek king Ernst Ziller , who later worked in Greece, and his younger brothers, the brothers Moritz and Gustav Ziller , who ran his father's construction company from 1867 together as the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller" , or "Gebr. Ziller ”, continued.

A total of around 30 buildings in Lößnitz can be assigned to Christian Gottlieb Ziller, most of which have lost their Ziller originality through multiple modifications or have since been demolished.

Christian Gottlieb, the older son of master carpenter Johann Christian Ziller in Alt-Radebeul , learned the craft of master carpenter from his father. In the early 1830s, following the example of his older cousin Christian Heinrich Ziller, who was meanwhile government building inspector in Potsdam, he studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden , among others with the master builder Carl August Benjamin Siegel and with Joseph Thürmer .

From 1834 onwards, the builder Ziller built for his family and his building business on the large property on Augustusweg 4 an “Italian” type of house, a country house in the Tuscan style, which was characterized by his classical training and which was new for the region . With this southern building type he was five years earlier than Gottfried Semper , who built the trend-setting Villa Rosa in Dresden in 1839 . The main house was framed to the right and left by two single-storey outbuildings with a gable roof, of which the left, western one is still present today. After completing the work on the house in 1836, he moved the construction business founded by his father Johann Christian around 1800 in Radebeul and taken over by him to Serkowitz (from 1839 Oberlößnitz) on his newly built property.

At that time the property was on Serkowitz vineyard floor and came to Oberlößnitz when the community was founded in 1839 . Of the 10 children that Christian Gottlieb and his wife Johanna Sophie geb. Fichtner were born in this house, the firstborn Ernst Moritz Theodor (1837–1923) and Moritz Gustav Ferdinand (1838–1895) were born in Serkowitz, all others like Gustav Ludwig (1842–1901) and Paul Friedrich (1846–1931) ), in Oberlößnitz. Two of the daughters died early, Sophia Alwina Johanna at the age of three and Sophie Eugenia at the age of 21. The children spent their childhood on this property and received their first apprenticeship.

From 1835 Christian Gottlieb built the Villa Zembsch in Oberlößnitz between the old Haus Steinbach and Haus Sorgenfrei . In 1854 he renewed the village school (today the old school ) in Kaditz , the parish responsible for him , where his uncle Johann Gottfried had worked as a schoolmaster and cantor for 35 years and his father, the carpenter Johann Christian, did repairs on the Emmaus church even those on the parish and diaconate buildings, which were particularly extensive after a fire in 1802, as well as on other church facilities such as the school, the barn, a tenant apartment and the apartment of his brother, the cantor. His father also built a smokehouse in the parsonage there in 1808 and a pigeon house in 1817.

In addition to other villas and country houses, Christian Gottlieb Ziller was involved in the building of churches in Lomnitz and Lichtenberg in Lausitz. What is remarkable in Lichtenberg is the flat-elliptical dome supported by eight pillars that spans the church interior.

The son Moritz joined his father's company in 1859 and changed its name to the “Gebrüder Ziller” construction company after his brother Gustav joined the company in 1867. Christian Gottlieb Ziller died in 1873 and was buried in the churchyard of the church in Kaditz .

review

Hofmann wrote in 1853 in Das Meißner Niederlande… : “Further on the Chaussee are a little higher up in pleasant flower and vineyards, the 4 extremely tasteful villas built a few years ago by the carpenter Ziller, the first of which is now the Russian pharmacist Stolle from Moscow, the second Kaufm. Schnabel, the third before Kaufm. Weiß and the fourth now the judicial director. Nörner owns. - This is followed by the beautiful, large inn "zur goldene Weintraube" ... "These villas, west of the Goldenen Weintraube ( Landesbühnen Sachsen ) on the north side of Meißner Strasse, are Villa Borstrasse 9 (fire register number 8, later part of Dr. Kadner's sanatorium ) and around Villa Borstrasse 7 (fire register number 7), which, built in 1845, was extended by Christian's son Moritz in 1865. According to the address book of Parochie Kötzschenbroda 1869, Volume II for Niederlößnitz, the former court director Theodor Nörner owned the property with the fire register number 6, which corresponds to Meißner Straße 162 . The last building has yet to be identified.
