Gothic house (Radebeul)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gothic House was in the Niederlößnitz district of the Saxon city of Radebeul , at Heinrich-Zille-Strasse 5 on the corner of Zillerstrasse and on Zillerplatz . The original, one-hip winegrower's house was converted into Gothic style by Christian Gottlieb Ziller around 1850 and heightened it in 1874 by his sons, the Ziller brothers . In 2007 the building was demolished because of its dilapidation.

description

West gable and south side of the Gothic House (1999)

After 1874, the building consisted of a T-shaped floor plan made up of two interpenetrating structures. The base of the letter was formed by the simply stylized wing with a gable roof extending to the north , which protruded from the south facade and formed a central projection with a gable . To the right and left of it there were two deeply cut portholes with protruding keel arched walls that rested on consoles . In turn, under the hatches there were heraldic reliefs in sandstone. The coupling windows in the risalit were framed by sandstone walls with keel arches . In front of the risalit there was a small terrace to the south .

The one-and-a-half-story transverse wing of the original building with a gable roof, like the north wing, showed the neo-Gothic gable erected by Christian Gottlieb Ziller on the decorative side facing west towards Zillerstraße. This was designed as a five-axis, stepped gable protruding over the roof, each with three steps, and carried a pointed arch plaster mirror between pilaster strips with cone-like attachments. In front of the gable was a polygonal, closed söller with a pointed arch frieze, the exit of which was closed on top by a wooden railing with Gothic motifs. A triple window, the middle of which was designed as a door, led to this. A three-pass window was located above this triple window in the attic .

The eaves sides consisted of smoothly plastered quarry stone masonry, which pulled around the corner on the ground floor to the gable, while the western ornamental gable itself was made of bricks.

history

Architectural drawing from 1915

The winegrower's house, which is essentially older, was rebuilt around 1850 by the Oberlößnitz master builder Christian Gottlieb Ziller in the neo-Gothic style. Together with its counterpart, the Villa Zillerstraße 13 built in 1873 by the Ziller brothers on the opposite side of the street to the west and its three-storey, lighthouse-like corner tower facing Zillerplatz , the Gothic House with its fountain formed the entrance to the south facing Zillerplatz Zillerstrasse.

In 1874 the Ziller brothers added to the wing protruding to the north from the west-east-facing structure, and in 1881 they built a separate coach house for the owner of Nostitz-Jänkendorf . As a result, the building was owned by Major z. D. Arthur von Nostitz-Jänkendorf, 1914 by Elisabeth von Nostitz-Jänkendorf.

For the new owner Otto Schumann, a pergola was converted into a glazed veranda in the north-western corner of the building in 1915 .

After the fall of the Wall, the north wing and the veranda had to be demolished due to disrepair, while the rest of the building, owned by an owner association, continued to fall into disrepair. In 2006, the rest of the building, which had previously been a listed building, was sold to a real estate company with a demolition permit, demolished and the property was rebuilt with two houses. Before the demolition, a monument documentation was created, and a few sandstone parts such as "especially [...] the tips on the west gable, which gave the house its idiosyncratic character" were preserved and stored so that they could be reused.
