The Dölzschener Bienertpark (also called Unterer Bienertpark or, more recently, New Bienertpark ) is a park at the entrance to the Plauenschen Grund in the Dresden districts of Löbtau and Dölzschen .

prehistory

At the entrance of the Plauen reason there were already three smaller quarries orographically to the left of the Weißeritz in 1448 on the corridor still belonging to Löbtau. These were bought by the city council in 1740 and operated as council quarries. With the increasing demand for building material, the council bought the "lower forest house quarry", which was now privately built, and expanded it, especially from 1892 as the council quarry, along the Weißeritz (the slopes reached as far as the river bed, today's Tharandter Strasse was only built after intensive demolition Exposed 1918–1921).

The area of the previously operated quarry bought Gottlieb Traugott Bienert 1873 and left there in 1874, the first gas works for better illumination of Bienert mill at night (Paschky- / corner Tharandter Street, now home to a gas station) building, which also gas for street lighting of The village community of Plauen delivered (first switched on on October 19, 1874). The gasworks in turn was sold to the city of Dresden for 900,000 Reichsmarks after Plauen was incorporated into Dresden (1903).

Planning and execution

Nevertheless, the brothers Theodor and Erwin Bienert, the sons of Gottlieb Traugott Bienert and, after his death, the owners of the Bienertmühle, considered the idea of ​​replacing the areas now occupied by industry in the lower area of ​​Plauen and giving the Plauen citizens a part of the natural area " to give back, which was more and more lost during the industrialization in the Plauen reason ”: One of the earliest known ecological compensation measures took place in this area through Bienert's commitment and financed by Theodor Bienert. But it was also part of Bienert's commitment to beautifying Plauen's landscape as a whole.

In 1906 , the Bienerts commissioned the garden architect Max Bertram, in parallel to his plans for the Upper Bienert Park , with planning for this 15,000 square meter area. It could only be partially implemented from 1911 onwards, as the then independent municipality of Dölzschen benefited from having attractive access from the valley, but did not want to make any further contributions. Theodor Bienert financed the implementation with 40,000 Reichsmarks .

In the former quarry, Bertram planned an extensive network of paths for the size of the area with a bridge, an artificial grotto and a (indicated) pond; a "bastion" he designed analogously to the "Upper Bienert Park" would have been located on Dölzschener Flur, which was not implemented could be.

History 1945–1990

The (incomplete) facility of the "Dölzschener Bienertpark" was poorly preserved after 1945, with the exception of the average open space customary at Bertram (which was mainly used for tobogganing in winter). Basically, the concept became more and more overgrown.

The continuation of the concept on the Dölzschen side through the " Café Hohendölzschen ", directly on the corridor border between Dölzschen and Dresden (the "Dölzschener Straße" (Löbtau) changes the name to "Hohendölzschener Straße"), which is quite recognizable on historical postcards (as an alternative) (Dölzschen)) was more and more neglected: In 1949 the "Café Hohendölzschen" took over the HO of the GDR , a few years later the restaurant became a kindergarten , which moved out around 1980. Then the building was supposed to be rebuilt, but after the free move it stood empty for years and fell into disrepair. In 1990 it was returned to the former owners - completely neglected - who, however, were only interested in selling the property due to the renovation costs. The building and the property were a nuisance for years due to the continuing decay.

After 1990

In 1990 the "Dölzschener Bienertpark" was placed under a preservation order, but renovation ideas failed here too, until it was finally possible in the early 2000s to acquire the property of the former "Café Hohendölzschen" after its decay due to complete demolition with the help of ERDF funds : A large part of the Bertram concept from 1906 has now been implemented in a new form: In the Dölzschen area, an addition to the "Dölzschener Bienertpark" was created (which has actually only justified the name since that time, all previous efforts were all limited to the Löbtauer Flur) , the Bertramsche “observation bastion” could also be modified.

The basis for the long-term reconstruction, which was already planned at the time, was a “monument preservation objective”, which was developed by the Dresden landscape architect Michael Müssiggang on behalf of the Office for Urban Greenery and Waste Management in 2008.

In pursuit of this, the vegetation was cleared in 2010 and Bertram's concept was largely restored, also in view of the imminent centenary of its opening.

The design of the entrance to the valley of the Plauen reason and the design of the council quarry along the Weißeritz, which was closed in the 1980s, require further consideration in the long term.
