Clauss House

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Haus Clauss , also Haus Claus , is one of the Lößnitz winegrowers' houses , it is in the Niederlößnitz district of Radebeul at Winzerstraße 48a. It is named after the Clauss family, who owned the property from 1831 to 1931 and ran a fruit shop there for a long time, which is why it was called "Äppl-Clauß".

description

The two-storey building, which is now a listed building, has "largely lost its historical character".

A now massive, plastered ground floor stands above two barrel vaulted wine cellars, the upper floor is boarded up. Above it is a high hipped roof with a six-window dormer to the south. In the roof structure, a support from an earlier hip is still visible, which shows that the building was extended by about 4 meters to the east.

The ground floor windows are framed by sandstone walls , the composite windows from the 1980s have been replaced by lattice windows .

history

Parts of the winegrower's house were built as early as 1665, as reported by a year in the sandstone walls of the cellar entrance. This is also evidenced by a year in the keystone of the entrance door on the north side, together with the initials "TSC". Until 1787, the Secret Council v. Saulls owned the winery, then four vineyards went to the Dresden wine merchant Phillipp Friedrich Klöpfer.

Johann Gottlob Clauß acquired the property in 1831, and his family owned the property for a hundred years until 1931. When the vineyard owner Friedrich Traugott Clauss owned the property in 1869, the retired General Maximilian August von Schmieden , who had his own country house built diagonally opposite in 1872 , also lived there for a while .

In the 1930s, the building on the eastern boundary of the property was connected to the winegrower's house by a simple intermediate building in which the “Äppl-Clauß” fruit shop was located. In 1935 major renovations were carried out in which the framework on the ground floor was replaced by solid masonry. The upper floor, however, was boarded up.

In GDR times, at least since 1973, the property was listed as "Haus Claus" .

In the 1980s, there was a further "modernization" with mullion-free composite windows. The two-lined drag dormers and the bat dormers on both sides also disappeared on the street side. In the early 2000s, there was a comprehensive renovation. In 2011 the former winegrower's house was vacant, the former fruit shop was demolished.
