history
→ Main article: Architecture of the 1950s in Eilenburg
The buildings on the northern Karlstrasse, like those on the neighboring Rinckartstrasse, date from the mid-1950s and were built as part of the national construction project . After the end of the GDR, they became the property of the municipal housing and management company (EWV). While the building at Karlstrasse 2/3 was extensively renovated and provided with balconies, the building at Karlstrasse 1 has so far only been slightly renovated. The building at Karlstrasse 4 has a largely original appearance and is currently empty.
architecture
- Karlstrasse 1
The residential and commercial building at Karlstrasse 1 forms the corner development of Rinckartstrasse / Karlstrasse in a structural unit with Rinckartstrasse 9a. The shop windows and the entrance area with their simply profiled bezels have segmental arches. The facings of the windows on the ground floor facing Karlstrasse with their decorative supporting stones are also simply profiled. A cornice separates the ground floor from the residential floors above. There is also a window cornice on the first floor facing Rinckartstraße. Above the left shop window in Rinckartstraße there is a bay window resting on two consoles, which is decorated with a pattern typical of the time in the square and which merges into a small hip in the roof construction. Except for a few small skylights and three brick chimneys, the hipped roof has no superstructures. The still largely unrenovated house still has the original double windows framed in wood on the first and second floors.
- Karlstrasse 2/3
The three-story building at Karlstrasse 2/3, which is used exclusively as a residential building, is in open development. The entrances to the house are on the courtyard side. Here too there is a recurring bay window on the south side. In the recent past, balconies were added to the building . The house has a hipped roof.
- Karlstrasse 4
The three-storey tenement building at Karlstrasse 4, which is now vacant, is the only building from the 1950s in Eilenburg that has been preserved in an almost original appearance. At him on the eastern facade of an up to the first floor reaching bow window . On the street-side facade on the mezzanine floor there are two French balconies and a further opening that extends to the mezzanine floor . The recurring pattern of the bay window design has also been used here. The eaves bears a simple hipped roof without any special structures. Half of the north facade was renovated in the 2000s, as the neighboring house attached at this point (Rollenstrasse 21/22) was demolished.
