Saxon wolf
The Saxon Wolf was a former inn on Dresdner Strasse 221 at the intersection with Poisentalstrasse and Hüttenstrasse in the Freital district of Deuben . Before it was demolished in 2010, the building was used in various ways. Hüttenstrasse and the nearby Deuben bus station were not built until after 2000, but the Saxon Wolf was already located in the center of town earlier with Poisentalstrasse as an important link towards Possendorf and the former Deuben tram station .
history
The inn opened in 1850 when Johann Gottfried August Wolf, an industrialist from Niederhäslich , bought two buildings on Deubener Hauptstrasse and had them converted into an inn. However, he withdrew from the business after one year of operation. By 1877 the owner of the establishment changed more than fifteen times. In 1878 a Mr. Schoebel took over the inn and had it expanded. Under the owner Bruno Lehmann, the Saxon Wolf increasingly became a meeting place for local clubs and groups. Until 1895, the services of the Roman Catholic St. Joachimsgemeinde took place in the hall of the inn.
On June 30, 1919, Valentin Wolf took over the inn and had it generously expanded. This led to the enlargement of the hall and the establishment of a cabaret. There was also a daily entertainment program. After 1920 Wolf also had a bowling alley with five lanes and a café built. The demand exceeded the supply by far, so that the building was rebuilt again and the “Stadtcafé” was created, which in addition to the 30 meter long and seven meter wide hall also had common rooms. The colloquial name of the house was probably derived from its owner. The KPD chairman Ernst Thälmann spoke in the inn in 1925. A plaque attached to the right of the main entrance reminded of this fact until the very end.
After the Second World War the situation changed for the inn. In 1947 the SDAG Wismut acquired the building and accommodated a refreshment point for the miners of the hard coal pits of the Döhlen basin . Little by little, the restaurant reopened to all guests, and there were again performances and events in the halls of the Saxon Wolf.
In 1960, VEB Edelstahlwerk took over the inn on May 8, 1945 and converted it into a culture house for the company, which at times had around 5000 employees, under the name “Klub der Edelstahlwerker”. The building was extensively modernized. With the support of the steelworks, conferences and series of events were held regularly. Artists such as Wolfgang Stumph , Gunther Emmerlich , Tom Pauls and Armin Mueller-Stahl performed in the stainless steel workers' club. The "Stadtcafé" was continued by the HO .
After the fall of the Berlin Wall , the newly elected Freital City Council under Mayor Dietmar Lumpe held its constituent meeting in the club on June 6, 1990. The support of the stainless steel works collapsed with the social and economic upheavals of the post-reunification period. The company, which was about to be liquidated in 1992, sold the building. Then there were frequent tenant changes. After the NPD moved into the Saxon state parliament for the first time in 2004 , the party held a press conference in the now rundown restaurant. For this reason, the Saxon wolf was mentioned nationwide.
In April 2010 the city of Freital bought the property from its private owner and had it demolished with the use of subsidies.
Future use
The area is to be rebuilt in connection with the areas on Neumarkt in the north. To this end, the area was put out to tender nationwide in summer 2016, whereupon five interested parties presented specific concepts for the area. These were presented to the public in the city library from March 2017 for public participation . The city council then voted for a concept that provides for two buildings on Dresdner and Poisentalstrasse with retail space, recessed residential buildings and a square facing Weißeritz on the Saxon Wolf site.
