The “Zum Schwarzen Bär” inn at Terrassenufer 9 in the Pirnaische Vorstadt in Dresden was probably built before the Seven Years' War (1756–1763). In 1945 the house was destroyed.

description

The building was in the Pirnaische suburb of Dresden on the Terrassenufer . It stood on the side of the street of the same name facing the city with the façade facing the Elbe , was ten window axes wide and had three floors. According to Cornelius Gurlitt's description, there was a relief on the keystone showing a bear tied to a tree, wearing a feather hat on his head and a walking stick over his left shoulder; next to him a grinding jug .

Artistic importance

The “Zum Schwarzen Bär” inn is considered to be “perhaps the most artistically significant surviving suburban house”. While Hermann Heckmann sees Johann George Schmiedt as the design architect , Stefan Hertzig describes the building as a “masterpiece” by Johann Gottfried Findeisen .
