The Schubert house is a listed residential and commercial building at Loschwitzer Strasse  58 in the Blasewitz district of Dresden . It is located in one of the liveliest squares in East Dresden, Schillerplatz .

History and description of the building

The residential and commercial building was built in 1898/99 by the Blasewitz architect Karl Emil Scherz , a man who was extremely busy in this part of Dresden. The client was the beer dealer E. Wilhelm Schubert. The address of the house at the time of construction was Residenzstrasse 2, but it is already listed in the address book from 1904 under house number 1. In the course of the 1920s, when the house numbering was changed in Blasewitz, which was incorporated in 1921, house number 58 was still valid today.

The stately Art Nouveau building has three full floors and a facade length of nine window axes, of which the two left and the rightmost are formed by double windows. Overall, the facade is very asymmetrical, in keeping with the Art Nouveau style. Thus, the left hand to the two left axles was Zwerchhaus easily carried like a tower excessive; to the right of this are two dormers with double windows and segmental arch roofing above the cornice, which only occupies four axes . The right third of the building is again crowned by a dwelling which, however, does not exceed the ridge height of the house. In its gable is the year of construction, while the gable area of ​​the left dwelling is adorned with an oval window with rich Art Nouveau ornamentation. Below the cornice of the central axes there is a sandstone frieze with hunting motifs, just like the keystone of the arched portal is adorned by a strongly sculptural dachshund head. A total of four balconies of different sizes are located above the portal and above the middle of the five shops on the ground floor. Above the shops on the ground floor there are apartments that were often also inhabited by the shopkeepers.

Four of the five shops are to the left of the entrance, one to the right. This is the jewelry store that has been there since the 1930s and is now in its fourth generation. The address book from 1899 also mentions the business of upholsterer and decorative painter Adolf helmet - decorative painter were also responsible for the most frequently encountered in class residences staircase paintings - a "barber and dental artists", the paper and Galanteriewarenhandlung Lina Frenk Ling and rubber products business. A different picture emerged as early as 1904: Another barber had moved in, who no longer traded as a “dental artist”, and there was now a hairdresser and a milliner next to it. The operator of the stationery shop was now called Degenkolb, an Adolf Helm sen. ran a hat shop and lived on the first floor.

A later owner of the house was the delicatessen dealer Wilhelm Hielscher, who had his shop at Schillerplatz 5. For example, he is mentioned in the 1916 address book, along with the paper shop, hat shop and milliner , but no longer hairdressers. The already mentioned jeweler and watchmaker, who is also stated as the owner, has been in the house since the early 1930s, and in 1932 there was also a cleaner , a delicatessen, again a barber and the Fahlbusch stationery shop.

Both the jeweler and the stationery shop held up after the Second World War. The jeweler still exists today (as of 2018). There is also a magazine shop, a small espresso bar, a leather goods shop and a designer for everyday objects on the ground floor of the house.
