The large settlement Trachau , including Hans Richter settlement is a settlement in the Dresden district Trachau and represents the "most significant example of the new architecture in Dresden" is.
Description and history
The axis of symmetry is Dopplerstraße, which is aligned with today's Dresden-Neustadt municipal hospital. The settlement is sealed off from the outside with a closed development.
In the years 1926 to 1928, Max Arlt (1876–1933) prepared a development plan for this area from the Dresden Building Department under city planner Paul Wolf .
The GEWOBAG cooperative, which also had the GEWOBAG estate built in Gruna , launched a competition for the development of Kopernikus, Schützenhof and Aachener Strasse, from which the design by the architect Hans Richter emerged as the winner.
The flat roof estate along Kopernikus and Industriestrasse and the arcade houses on Halleystrasse were built according to Richter's design . These houses had their own district heating supply. Hans Waloschek built the houses along Fraunhoferstraße and Carl-Zeiss-Straße and the single-family houses along Schützenhofstraße. The architectural office Schilling & Graebner was commissioned to build the houses along Aachener Straße. The single-family houses on Schützenhofstrasse were popularly known as Little Morocco or New Morocco because of the flat roofs .
Due to the global economic crisis , the further expansion of the settlement was interrupted, in the 1930s work was continued in traditional construction, contrary to Richter's plans.
During the air raids on Dresden in World War II , Trachau and thus the settlement were spared major damage. In 1985 the settlement was placed under monument protection as an industrial street district (ID no. 09217340), see the list of cultural monuments of the Trachau settlement . In 1997 the settlement was redeveloped.
