history

From 1655 to 1681 the owner was the quarter master Paul Brückner, then the wife of the electoral chamber actuary Adami. Later, from 1799 to 1807, it belonged to the court jeweler August Gotthelf Globig.

Around 1900 there was a bookshop on the ground floor and the vegetarian restaurant “ Thalysia ” on the first floor . In 1904, an article in the Deutsche Goldschmiede-Zeitung complained that in the house at Schloßstraße 14, “in the most frequented area”, a shop called “Rands American Diamond Palace” had settled.

description

The art historian Cornelius Gurlitt sees the construction date as the first third of the 16th century. The late Gothic window frames are evidence of this. The two-storey wooden bay window was built around 1660 . The pillars were decorated with bas-reliefs. The capitals on the first floor were of the Ionic order . On the second floor these were of the Corinthian order . On the parapet of the bay window on the first floor there was a shell ornament with high quality fabric hangings. Grimace sculptures were on the corner posts of the bay window on the second floor. The shafts of the pilasters were structured with delicate Renaissance ornaments. At the end of the 18th century, the originally four-story building was increased by one floor.

Stefan Hertzig describes that ornaments in the Dutch style adorned Dresden bay windows in the 17th century, including that of the house at Schloßstraße 14.
