history

Dresden, Seestrasse No. 6, bay window (photography around 1900).

In 1737 Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul bought the house from his mother, Chamber Councilor Gertraud Sophie Saul. Until the end of 1737, the house was rebuilt by Johann Gottfried Findeisen . It was the last representative of the " Pöppelmannsche [n] taste [s]."

description

The facade facing Seestrasse was seven window axes wide. The central window axes were designed in the "elegant baroque style". The rich, small-scale decor, which was connected to each other across floors, was particularly elaborate, which was also typical of the style of Johann Gottfried Findeisen . Acute-angled window roofs were found on the first floor, curved roofs were installed over the windows on the second floor, and the windows on the third floor were closed with straight roofs. All three window canopies were equipped with complex cartridges. Stefan Hertzig describes that Findeisen orientated himself towards Pöppelmann and in particular to master mason Fehre for the house at Seestraße 6 . Findeisen's work showed “artistic similarities” to the “Zum Schwarzen Bär” inn . Overall, however, the house is less significant artistically.
