description

The formerly listed residential building was a converted field barn in the middle of a former vineyard that was later revived. Because of its peculiar cuboid shape, the building got its name, which is also reminiscent of other coffee mill houses from the 1920s and 1930s.

The main building, built on a square floor plan, was three-story on the south side, facing the valley, and only two-story on the mountain side. The house had a tent roof with a central chimney. There were extensions to the mountain and to the west side. The western annex on the left in the photo was reminiscent of a pull-out coffee grounds drawer, while the chimney symbolized the place for the crank.

The basement was solid and plastered, the two upper floors, in which there were two small apartments, were paneled with wooden boards.

history

In 1927, the owner of the Paulsberg property, the retired government councilor Adolph Gleitsmann, applied for a field barn to be built in the middle of his former vineyard so that hay could be stored there. The Kötzschenbroda City Council obtained an expert opinion from the Saxon Homeland Security Association , in which the latter stated: "The shape of the stable and barn building is interesting and in tune with the rural surroundings." In return for the building permit, the City Councilor committed Adolph Gleitsmann to expansion of the Talkenberger Weg to surrender land free of charge.

In 1934 Gleitsmann tried in vain to expand the barn , which had a gable roof , with apartments. The reason given for the refusal was that “the necessary windows and additions would take away the character of the building as a barn and an architecturally incomprehensible and therefore unsatisfactory residential structure would emerge”.

In 1938 Gleitsmann made another attempt to convert his barn with the help of plans “to install two small apartments” by the Coswig architect and master builder E. Wendt. The regional association, which was switched on again, carried out an on-site consultation in which it warned that a tent roof should be built. In spite of the approval by the regional association, the municipal building authority rejected the application and requested that it be revised. This revision with the final drafts was then approved in March 1938. The erection of the tent roof and the continued free surrender of land in the event that Talkenberger Strasse is expanded were specified as conditions. About three weeks after the authorization of projects put Gleitsmann appeal one on which a building freeze was imposed. The construction freeze was lifted with further requirements, and Gleitsmann was then able to have the basement plastered, while only the upper floors were protected by wooden cladding. In September 1938 the approval for use was granted subject to certain conditions. In October 1940 the completion of the tent roof was announced.

In April 2011, the operating company of the municipal Hoflößnitz winery , which today manages the Paulsberg vineyard , had the coffee grinder torn down, "probably in order to be able to manage the surrounding vineyard better and to save the necessary renovation costs."
