history

The first known owner of the site was Dresden's mayor Siegmund Otto in 1627. As early as the 17th century there was a stone house with a tiled roof, similar to the Bennoschlösschen , and a winegrower's house with a wine press. This is shown on the map from 1715 by Hans August Nienborg . The historical dating of 1660 in the archway of the property gate in the enclosure points to this house .

The late Baroque two-storey mansion with large vaulted wine cellar was built around 1778. 1862 was the banker and businessman Friedrich Albert Kuntze, namesake of the property and the building, which in 1859 acquired mansion by the young architect Moritz Ziller at a stately country house in Swiss style with Gothicising rebuild elements and expand. This Swiss house had a knee-length floor under the gently sloping gable roof and a central rafter gable with a portal to the south. Kuntze, who died in 1892, was the father of Thekla , who inherited Haus Albertsberg , Frida , who had the Villa Sommer built not far away in 1900 , Albert , who built the Villa Albert Kuntze from 1899 to 1901 , and Max , who also built the Villa Albert Kuntze in 1898/1899 how his siblings got a domicile designed by the architect Oskar Menzel with the villa at Jagdweg 6 .

In 1889 the naturopath Friedrich Eduard Bilz bought a section of the Albertsberg above the Albertsburg with a classical building on it (formerly Strakenweg, today Eduard-Bilz-Straße 53), in which he set up a small sanatorium for his naturopathic institution ( Bilz-Sanatorium ) in 1892 .

The next owner of Haus Albertsberg, Kuntze's daughter Thekla, had the house rebuilt in its current state in 1898 by the architect Oskar Menzel , this was done by rendering the facade Baroque with pilaster strips and plastered fields along with Gothicizing arched curtain windows. The roof was converted into a mansard roof. The garden room on the ground floor received an elaborate ceiling painting.

In the fundamental inventory of the art historian Cornelius Gurlitt from 1904 , which was published not long afterwards, the house and gate were described as follows:

“In the enclosure wall a round arched door, simply bevelled. Above re. 1660. The house was rebuilt at the end of the 19th century, the room division changed, a floor was added and the roof was built in a different shape. "

In the GDR era, many of the neo-baroque façade elements were removed again during the necessary security and renovation measures for the building, which was listed as a monument of architecture by 1973 at the latest . A comprehensive restoration of the listed manor house took place in 2005/2006.

The vineyard below the building was cultivated until the beginning of the 1990s and a residential complex was built on in 1994/1995 .
