Great Plauensche Strasse
,_Dresden.jpg)
The Great Plauensche street is a city road in Dresden Seevorstadt . As a connection between Plauenschem and Dippoldiswalder Platz, it was an important inner city feeder from the southern parts of the city. Today it only serves as a residential street .
history
The route from the later Dippoldiswalder Platz in front of the city fortifications to the then still independent village of Plauen was first mentioned in 1567 as Plauische Strasse . There is also evidence of Plauische Gasse (1570) and Groß Plauische Gaße (1680). In 1847 it was given the name Große Plauensche Gasse and has had its current name since 1863.
In its course, the numbering beginning at Dippoldiswalder Platz, it crossed Vitzthumstraße, Dippoldiswaldaer Gasse / Josephinenstraße and Feldgasse before it merged into Plauenschen Platz. As a result, it was the connecting piece of the inner city ring connected to Dippoldiswalder Platz and the roads to Plauen ( Chemnitzer Straße ), towards Räcknitz ( Bergstraße ) and to Ammonstraße as part of the later so-called 26er Ring . A little further north, Kleine Plauensche Gasse ran parallel between Marienstrasse and Ammonstrasse .
In 1890 a horse-drawn tram started operating from Dippoldiswalder Platz via Große Plauensche Straße, Plauenschen Platz, Bergstraße and Hohe Brücke . This route was used by Dresden trams until it was downgraded to the operating route (Dippoldiswalder Platz – Plauenscher Platz) in 1933 for the Wilder Mann – Räcknitz connection (line 6).
During the air raids on Dresden , the buildings on Grosse Plauenschen Strasse were destroyed. The topography and the road network in this part of the suburb of the lake remained in place until the 1960s. That changed from 1963 with the re-routing of the Budapester Strasse traffic train . This led along the former Kleine Plauenschen Gasse from Chemnitzer Strasse over a new road bridge to Dippoldiswalder Platz. Plauensche Platz was built over in favor of connecting ramps from Budapester Strasse to Ammonstrasse, which also meant that Grosse Plauensche Strasse lost its importance for traffic. In the course of the redesign, it was tied back to the intersection with Feldgasse. The section from Josephinenenstraße to Dippoldiswalder Platz was completely abandoned, so that today only a 150-meter-long section between Feldgasse and Josephinenstraße is preserved from the original road. On this section, the pavement from the pre-war period has been preserved, and the previous location of the tram tracks can still be seen, although they were already removed in the 1940s.
Development
Along the Grosse Plauenschen Strasse, as on the surrounding streets, a closed development of predominantly five-storey residential and commercial buildings developed. An old homestead was preserved at number 4. The manufacturer Ludwig Küntzelmann ran an office in No. 6 . No. 7 was the location of the main business of the wine merchant Johann Heinrich Hantzsch. This was followed by buildings of the “Compagnie Laferme” cigarette factory.
At Grosse Plauenschen Strasse 16, the “ Königliches Josephinenstift ” girls' school founded by Electress Maria Josepha of Austria and its outdoor facilities was located. Opposite, at No. 17, was the Blochmannsche Educational Institution , later Vitzthum-Gymnasium. This building was used by the Güntz'schen Asyl-Stiftung after 1900 .
On the corner of Plauenschen Platz at no. 38 there was a branch of the Görlitz goods purchasing association.
The redevelopment after the war damage gave the street a completely different face. On the east side, a five-part, five-storey row block of flats was built in prefabricated construction . A building of the same type was also erected east of the junction with Josephinenstraße, which no longer makes the former course of the street understandable due to its overbuilding. The area facing Budapester Straße became a school location with a type construction Dresden atrium including outdoor facilities.
