The Glacisstraße is a street in Dresden's Inner Neustadt . There are 20 cultural monuments on the street named after the fortifications ( glacis ).
description
Laid out in the middle of the 18th century, the traffic route was named "Dem Festungsgraben opposite" due to its location. With the demolition of the Dresden fortifications in 1818, the road was expanded. Since 1829 the street was called “Am Glacis ” and from 1840 “Glacisstraße”. During the GDR period, it was named after Palmiro Togliatti from 1965 to 1990 . Today it is called "Glacisstraße" again.
The street starts at Bautzner Strasse and flows into Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz , from where traffic is directed to Albertbrücke and Wigardstrasse, which was previously called Wasserstrasse . From it the Georgenstrasse and the Untere Kreuzweg branch off to the southwest, and the Tieckstrasse and Melanchtonstrasse to the northeast.
Development
There are 20 cultural monuments on Glacisstrasse. At the corner of Glacisstrasse and Bautzner Strasse is a listed Baroque vase from around 1750, which originally stood on Bautzner Platz, today's Albertplatz .
From 1995 to 1997 the office and administration building “Atrium am Rosengarten” was built at Glacisstrasse 4, which is named after the neighboring Dresden rose garden . The three upper floors rise above a two-story basement. The facade of the upper floors is combined by a common facade clad in terracotta, with three-part window elements dividing the facade. The building thus emphasizes “uniformity and volume”. A raised semicircular glass body emphasizes the corner position.
The buildings at Glacisstraße 7, 9, 20 b, 24, 26 and 28 are listed buildings, with No. 28 being the old concert hall. This was built around 1850 and was not destroyed in the air raids on Dresden in February 1945 . Therefore, on July 10, 1945, the Dresden Schauspielhaus was able to resume theater operations here with "Nathan the Wise". Today the Tonhalle is the " small house " of the Dresden theater . The municipal music school Heinrich Schütz Conservatory is located at Glacisstrasse 30 and 32 ; both buildings are listed and connected by a glass corridor. Houses 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44 are also listed.
