Mosaic paving on Taschenberg in Dresden

The Dresden soap stone is a historical clinker stone for paving the pavement . The paving stone, which was produced between around 1890 and 1930, originally came from the Tittelbach brickworks located in Buschbad near Meißen , which sold the clinker that came out of the kiln between dark and light gray as well as dark and light red as "walkway stone", which is where today's second monumental name comes from Meissner footpath stone comes from. The original size of the stones used in many of Dresden's Wilhelminian style quarters (e.g. Löbtau, Pieschen, Trachenberge) and the surrounding area (e.g. in Kötzschenbrodaer Bahnhofstrasse ) is 5 × 5 × 10/12 cm . Rare variants were 19 × 9.5 × 8 cm and 18 × 18 × 8 cm in size.
