Drei-Kaiser-Hof
The Drei-Kaiser-Hof in Dresden - Löbtau was a hotel and restaurant until the First World War. A cinema was later set up here. In 1945 the building complex on the southeast corner of Tharandter / Löbtauer Strasse fell victim to the bombs. The ruin was demolished in 1950. Nevertheless, a small beer bar remained, which only disappeared in 1970. A new hotel complex was to be built after 1990, but it wasn't until 2008 that construction of the Löbtau-Passage shopping center began on the site and opened in autumn 2009. The name Drei-Kaiser-Hof has been carried on by another shopping complex on the opposite side of the street (northwest corner of the same intersection) since 2000.
history
The Drei-Kaiser-Hof was built in the last third of the 19th century at the intersection of Kesselsdorfer and Tharandter Strasse on the property of the demolished Löbtauer Chausseehaus. After completion of the representative residential and commercial building, a restaurant with the name "Restaurant zum alten Chausseehaus" was opened on April 1, 1888 on the ground floor. After the owner had also bought the neighboring property, a new hotel was built on it in 1897, which was named "Drei-Kaiser-Hof". This name was intended to commemorate the " Dreikaiserjahr " 1888, in which three German emperors ruled. On December 27, 1902, the "incorporation festivities" took place here on the occasion of the impending incorporation of Löbtau into Dresden. In 1914 an in-house cinema was set up.
After the death of the owner Johannes Zacharias Fröde in 1923 and his wife, Friedrich Richter continued to run the restaurant as a tenant. After a renovation, the cinema was also given a new operator with Willy Schulze, who ran it until 1945 under the name "Drei-Kaiser-Hof-Daylight Games". The ballroom was little used, however. In the previous hotel rooms, a Wehrmacht headquarters was finally set up for officers during the Second World War.
In 1945 the building complex suffered severe damage during the air raids on Dresden . However, some ground floor rooms could be made usable again. Nevertheless, the ruin was demolished around 1950. Only a small beer bar remained in the building, but it was closed in 1970.
After 1990 there were plans to build a hotel complex on the same site, but the construction was never carried out. The construction of a new shopping center, the Löbtau-Passage, only began in 2008 . The three-storey building, the sales facilities of which are exclusively on the ground floor and are accessed both on the street side and through a passage, was completed in 2009. On the upper floors there are two parking decks with three hundred and fifty parking spaces.
The name Drei-Kaiser-Hof has been carried on since 2000 by a modern shopping complex across the street.
