House Landhausstrasse 4 (around 1900)

The house Landhausstraße 4 (also The Three Golden Romans ) is a rococo house in the old town of Dresden .

history

On March 24, 1763, the house that burned down during the Seven Years' War (built by the architect Andreas Adam ) on the street known at the time as Pirnaische Gasse was bought by the wine merchant Gottlob Julius Grumpelt. In 1763 either a new building or a restored old building was built. The house, which was destroyed in World War II, has now been reconstructed true to the original.

description

The five-story building has a facade that is three window axes wide. Cornelius Gurlitt describes the decor above the simple windows as “rich, lively rococo cartridges”.

The rococo decor was elaborate:

“Wave-like structures formed from numerous rocailles swung to the right and left at the outer windows and ran out to the side of the lintels in short shapes. The middle windows, on the other hand, were crowned by two-part heart-shaped structures that peaked at the top and ended in small vine leaves and flowers on the sides of the walls. "

The building is “a very unusual building” because the strict structure of the pilaster strips was not used, but the rococo decor was freely attached over the windows of the upper floor, with the decor being linked to an orthogonal grid.

Art historical significance

Stefan Hertzig sees the use of the house 's Rococo decor as a stylistic relationship to the Koehler house or the portal of the Hackel house at Königstraße 13.
