The house at Landhausstrasse 25 was a baroque residential building in Dresden . It was built in 1708 and demolished in 1894 for the new construction of the police building .

The five-story building was five axes wide on Landhausstrasse and seven axes wide on Schießgasse . It was built by Georg Haase on May 10, 1708 for the former valet at the Privy Councilor and Chief Steward of Einsiedel, Abraham Altrichter, in the style of the Bohemian Baroque.

The facade was framed on the sides by two narrow pilaster strips with classic, composite capitals. The axes of the reserves showed simple, smooth-framed windows. The central projection was shaped as a flat protruding template. It was three axes wide and adorned with profiled window frames.

Above the windows on the first floor there were window canopies in the form of curved segment arch gables. Round cartouche shields with tendrils were located beneath these suspensions.

On the second floor there were triangular gables as window roofs; adorned with angel heads in the gable tops. Underneath were round cartouche shields with tendrils. The windows on the second floor rested on a sill decor consisting of putti heads , with concave-convex curved plaster mirrors in between .

On the third floor there were triangular gables as window roofs. The windows on the third floor rested on a sill cornice consisting of consoles, with concave-convex curved plaster mirrors in between.

The windows on the fourth floor were no longer adorned with canopies, but originally by the architrave of the main beam running over them . The windows on the fourth floor rested on a cornice consisting of consoles, with concave-convex curved plaster mirrors in between.

Art historical significance

The houses at Landhausstrasse 25 and Neumarkt 16 are considered Georg Haase's “early works”. Both buildings showed large, wide facades with heavy decorative decoration as well as slender, lateral pilaster strips. As a result, according to Stefan Hertzig , the aforementioned architectural elements were not in the “selected harmonious relationship that should characterize Haase's mature works of the 1710s”. Nevertheless, the house at Landhausstraße 25 with its individual decorative elements already referred to the later built house "Die Schiffsmühle" , which is considered to be "Haase's masterpiece".
