House Klemperer
The house Klemperer , Am Kirschberg 19 in Dresden - Dölzschen , is a house built in 1934 and expanded in 1936. It was built for Victor Klemperer and his wife Eva according to plans by the architect Curt Hermann Praetorius . The listed building belongs next to the house Dr. Geyer and Haus Krieger are among the few surviving residential buildings for private clients that were built in Dresden between 1933 and 1945.
The owners built their own house in 1934 with extremely limited financial means, for which they chose the inexpensive timber construction. The building itself is an unadorned single-family home. The wooden walls with a wooden-paneled gable rise above a stone base. It closes at the top with a tile-covered gable roof . In 1936 a garage was added, the half-sunken roof serving as a veranda or terrace . The couple's request for a flat roof on the building was denied by the authorities.
In 1940 the Klemperers were driven out of the house and forced to live in one of the “Jewish houses” in Dresden. The air raids on Dresden after February 13, 1945 gave the couple the opportunity to flee the city and change their identity. The couple was able to take possession of the house again in June 1945.
