history

In July 1931, the dentist Erich Schönherr, the client, applied to be allowed to build the modern house designed by the architect Max Czopka. He wrote: “I […] intend to build a functional building with a flat roof, the largest possible window areas and lots of terraces with a distant view. Since I attach great importance to the execution of the building in the manner shown in the plans, after a long search I came across the plot in question. "

After the municipality of Oberlößnitz had forwarded the building application without any complaints, Schönherr received the following negative notification from the Dresden administrative authority with the request to revise: “The on 6 July ds. Js. Submitted planning [...] close to the house, which is known as the excellent Loessnitz building, was referred to as a complete impossibility by the Saxon Homeland Security Regional Association . The requested permit has no prospect of success, as the construction of an outstanding architectural monument and the entire development of the Loessnitz, known as exemplary, will be severely spoiled. There is by no means any economic or technical necessity to work in such an important urban setting with forms that have been taken from the treasure trove of newer large factories and have also been misunderstood. ”The local press also shows strong opposition to the building project.

Schönherr's complaint to the superordinate district administration in Dresden because of the use of the “defacement paragraph” was successful, so that on October 15, 1931, the building permit could be granted. Only a cornice had to be worked out more and the renouncement of painting with white facade paint had to be explained. The building, realized by the construction company Hörnig & Barth, was ready for occupancy from the end of May 1932.
