House Terrassenufer 5 (Dresden)

House Terrassenufer 5

The house at Terrassenufer 5 was a residential building in Dresden that was built around 1880 and destroyed in 1945. Stylistically, the architecture was gotisierend to models of Venetian palaces ajar.

The architect apparently took up the architecture of the house on Terrassenufer 3 and thus lined up stylistically in the boulevard on the Terrassenufer . Already under August the Strong , magnificent buildings on the Elbe were built based on the example of the Grand Canal in Venice, just as the Augustus Bridge is based on the Rialto Bridge and the Frauenkirche is based on the model of the Church of Santa Maria della Salute .

The five-axis and five-story house is described as follows:

“The facade of the Venetian private palace has a fixed arrangement. They are divided into three sections, the middle of which is filled by the pierced pillared boxes. Corresponding to each of the side parts, two separated windows are then attached. The corners of the facades are marked by thin, rope-like twisted columns. "

At the flood-prone, former location of the building there is now a green area and a bus parking lot.
