The Kesselsdorfer street from the Dresden residents also Kellei called, is an important arterial road of Dresden to the west, tributaries of the A17 and the center of the district Löbtau . After the destruction of Dresden city center in February 1945, it was the trade and business center for the western part of the city.
Name, development of the course of the road and length
The Kesselsdorfer Straße was mentioned as early as the end of the 12th century as part of an old connecting road between the Altzella ( Nossen ) monastery and the monastery courtyard in Leubnitz and connected the important mining center around Freiberg with the city of Dresden. It was therefore originally called Freybergische Strasse and was one of the most important long-distance connections in the Dresden area. At the beginning of the 18th century, Elector August the Strong had it expanded into Poststrasse . In this context, a stone bridge was built over the Weißeritz in 1704 . In the years 1810 to 1812, the road was expanded into a Chaussee on behalf of the French and was given its current course. In 1871 it was renamed Wilsdruffer Straße , in 1904 it was given its current name Kesselsdorfer Straße , which was also transferred to the street sections there after the incorporation of Gorbitz in 1926 and Gompitz in 1999. In the course of setting up a high-performance bypass to the west of Dresden, the feeder between the autobahn and Old Franconia was re-routed to four lanes in 2007/2008 as " Coventrystraße ". Coventrystraße has completely replaced Kesselsdorfer Straße between Gompitz and the western city limits. The Altfranken – Gompitz section of Kesselsdorfer Strasse was retained and runs parallel to the four-lane Coventrystrasse. Since then, Kesselsdorfer Straße has ended at Gompitzer Höhe in "Gompitz-Park".
Its east-west street connects the Dresden districts of Gompitz, Altfranken , Gorbitz, Wölfnitz , Naußlitz and Löbtau . It is finally connected to the city center (to Pirnaischer Platz ) via Freiberger Straße (to Postplatz ) and Wilsdruffer Straße , which adjoins at its eastern end .
traffic
In 1881 a horse-drawn tram was set up that connected the town of Löbtau with the city of Dresden and led to the New Annenfriedhof , which was built in 1875 . It was extended to the Naußlitz tram station (today's Kaufland on Koblenzer Straße) in 1893. From 1896 they were electrified. In 1909, a connecting line was established between Löbtau and Cotta via today's Rudolf-Renner-Strasse, on which tram line 12 runs. Tram lines 6 and 7 lead to Wölfnitz (not far from the former Naußlitz tram station) on the "Kellei". The 7 then continues via Gorbitz and Coventrystraße to Altnossener Straße and from there again parallel to Kesselsdorfer Straße to the track loop in Pennrich . Until then, the city bus route 70 runs between Gompitz and Julius-Vahlteich-Straße (Wölfnitz) on Kesselsdorfer Straße. It is reinforced by the regional bus 333 of the regional traffic Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains (RVSOE) , which runs from Dresden via Kesselsdorf, Wilsdruff and Mohorn to Hetzdorf .
The central stop Tharandter Straße at the level of the shopping centers Löbtau-Passage and Drei-Kaiser-Hof an der Weißeritz is served by the already mentioned tram lines 6, 7 and 12 as well as by the city bus lines 61 (to and from Weißig / Fernsehturm ), 63 ( Pillnitz ) and 90 (between Gompitz and Löbtau, Ebertplatz) of the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe as well as line A of Stadtverkehr Freital and the regional bus of line 333. To increase safety for passers-by, after lengthy planning and controversial discussions about the expected effects in Löbtau, the central stop was expanded in 2018 and 2019 and closed to car traffic. Since then, the route for motorized private transport has mainly been via Wernerstraße.
Development
Even before the Second World War , the “Kellei” with numerous shops and restaurants developed into the center of the district in the western suburbs of Dresden. The lower part of the street in Löbtau in particular has retained its importance as a shopping center to the present day. In the second half of the 19th century, numerous residential and commercial buildings were built here, many of which were destroyed during the bombing raids in 1945 and whose vacant lots could only be partially closed after 1990.
The Chausseehaus was used to collect the toll for the users of this street. It was built in 1811 according to plans by Gottlob Friedrich Thormeyer (1775–1842) on the corner of Kesselsdorfer and Tharandter Strasse. First newly built department store in 1945 in Dresden which was created consumer -Warenhaus , which was closed demolished after 1990 and 1996 in favor of a commercial building. In 1997/98, the Kesselsdorfer Passagen building complex was built, which houses several shops and restaurants. In 2000 the passages were renamed Drei-Kaiser-Hof , based on the hotel and restaurant that used to be on the opposite side of the street. The Löbtau-Passage shopping center followed in 2008/09 on the same property of the former Dreikaiserhof and some ancillary buildings.
The first tenement houses on Naußlitzer Flur away from the village center on Kesselsdorfer Straße were built in 1870. The semi-detached house Kesselsdorfer Straße 82 / Emil-Ueberall-Straße 43 on Langen Straße, built around 1910, is an example. It has numerous loggias, balconies and modern decorative elements and was renovated in 1990 to meet the requirements of a listed building. In 1902 the Naußlitz tram station was built. The building, which is one of the few art nouveau industrial buildings in Dresden, is a listed building and has served as a shopping center and residential and commercial building since 2005.
The inn in Wölfnitz was created with the expansion of Kesselsdorfer Straße to Chaussee around 1810 and was first mentioned in a document in 1816. Mainly wagoners stopped here on their way to Freiberg . In 1879, the innkeeper Friedrich August Köhler had a large hall added to hold various events, in which in 1945 a cinema known as the "Filmbühne Wölfnitz" was set up. The cinema was destroyed by fire in 1985, the inn fell into disrepair and was demolished three years later. Today there is a supermarket in its place. One of the few villas on Kesselsdorfer Strasse is building no. 116. It was built in 1912 for a Dresden manufacturer.
The Gorbitzer Flur remained largely undeveloped until 1980. The first plans to build a large residential area between Löbtau and today's Julius-Vahlteich-Straße were not implemented because of the beginning of the First World War . The areas of the former Kammergut were used for agriculture until the 1970s. With the decision to build a large new building area on the Gorbitzer Hang, the area up to the city limits in Gompitz was built almost entirely with apartment blocks by 1990. In recent years, modern shopping centers and commercial operations followed. Some historic farms from Nieder- and Obergorbitz have been preserved on the southern side of the road and have been partially renovated.
The DEFA studio for animated films was located in an old city villa on Kesselsdorfer Straße 208 from 1955 until it was closed in 1992 .
On the Gompitzer Flur is the Gompitz Inn , built at the end of the 19th century , which is now used as the Schnitzel specialty restaurant "Schnizz". The residential buildings Kesselsdorfer Strasse 306 to 310 as well as the numbers 271, 275 and 277 were demolished in 2007 when the road was expanded to become a motorway feeder. Since November 2008 the tram (line 7) has been running parallel to the street to the track loop in Pennrich .
Consequences of the war and the post-war period for Kesselsdorfer Strasse
Buildings fell victim to the air raids on Dresden , especially in the lower part of the street, residential buildings and industrial plants were destroyed or badly damaged. The crossing between Kesselsdorfer and Tharandter Strasse was particularly affected. The Drei-Kaiser-Hof was badly damaged and demolished in 1950. The Musenhalle on Poststrasse, which had housed one of the most modern Dresden film theaters with the Lichtspiele Musenhalle since autumn 1929 , fell victim to the air raid on April 17, 1945. Parts of the stalls and the valuable projection equipment were rescued and taken to the Wölfnitz film theater .
Despite severe damage, the Kesselsdorfer Straße developed into the most important business center in the west of the city of Dresden and temporarily took over replacement functions for the on 13/14. Shops in the city center were destroyed in February 1945. Nevertheless, some areas were not rebuilt, so that the building fabric that was built around 1900 increasingly fell into disrepair, which ultimately led to the demolition of buildings on Kesselsdorfer Strasse.
After 1990
It was not until the reunification of Germany in 1990 that the gradual reconstruction of many residential buildings began, and some vacant lots were closed with new buildings. The "Kellei" is to be developed into a shopping and business center, which, however, requires the solution of the associated traffic problems.
Surroundings
Löbtau
The Neue Annenfriedhof , built in 1875 on Kesselsdorfer Straße, is considered to be the first cemetery in Dresden where aesthetic gardening interests were implemented on a large scale. Hundreds of linden, maple and elm trees were used to enclose the area. The monumental entrance design is based on the Italian Camposanto architecture. Around 600 victims of the bombing of Dresden were buried in a mass grave in the southern part of the cemetery in April 1945.
The Löbtau Friedenskirche , built in 1890, burned down completely during the bombing raid on Dresden on February 14, 1945. A wooden emergency church, which was consecrated in 1949, was built in the preserved surrounding walls. Other churches in the area around the "Kellei" are the Catholic Church of St. Antonius from 1923 and the Hope Church, which was only consecrated in 1936 .
On the Bünaustraße (numbers 4b to 8b), the city planning officer Hans Erlwein built a residential complex for officials of the city tram. A stele at the entrance bears the inscription:
- »Honor what has been handed down and create something new out of it.«
Hans Jakob Erlwein
City Planning Officer in Dresden 1905–1914.
The designs for the listed residential complex at Klingestrasse 14–22 were also designed by Hans Erlwein.
The first public exhibition of the expressionist artist group Brücke took place in 1906 in the model hall of the former Seifert lighting factory, built on Gröbelstrasse in 1905/06 . Otto Dix had his studio a few steps away .
Along the Weißeritz
A current urban development project is the cross-district green corridor Weißeritz . Opened on March 29, 2008 in the northern sub-area between Bauhofstrasse and Kesselsdorfer Strasse, it is intended to link the Plauen Grund landscape with “evidence of valuable industrial culture”. Public green and open spaces are connected by a pedestrian and cycle path that extends into the city center ( Freiberger Straße stop , WTC ).
