House Große Brüdergasse 25

The house at Große Brüdergasse 25 in the old town of Dresden was built between 1770 and 1780 and destroyed in the Second World War. Friedrich August Krubsacius or Johann George Schmidt are considered design architects .

history

The house belonged to Johanna Caroline Tugendreich Fräulein von Mezradt . By inheritance, the house came to various Dresden noble families, such as the Counts of Loss, von Haugwitz and von Friesen .

description

The house was three stories. On the ground floor there was the middle gate with an arched end, flanked by side windows. The facade showed seven pilasters in colossal order, which reached through both upper floors. Above it was an unbalanced triglyphic cornice. There were six simple windows between the pilasters. In the middle axis there was a small ornamental gable with simple lateral swellings.

Art historical significance

Cornelius Gurlitt dated the house around 1780 and accepted Friedrich August Krubsacius as the design architect . More recent research, such as Hermann Heckmann and Stefan Hertzig , however, see striking similarities to works by Johann George Schmidt , such as the new Gewandhaus or the orphanage church . This is due in particular to the same structural details that can be found in all buildings - the massive keystone on the ground floor, the Doric pilasters in colossal order, the roof gables formerly located on the central projection and above all the incomplete entablature zones.
