description

The fountain house on the forecourt

The stately, two-story building with a mansard roof and widely visible roof skylights located on a hillside on the edge of the heath Berg , a "mountain" in the boys Heide . The plastered construction is structured by pilaster strips and plastered fields.

To the south there is an additional basement level and a terrace , formerly with an outside staircase , due to the hillside location . On the left-hand side of the hillside view there is a side projection that extends far out of the building, almost like a wing of a building, which protects the terrace from the weather. On the right-hand side of the slope view, the side elevation steps back to the front of the building. The terrace extends around this corner of the building to the northern edge of the building. Both south gables are bent like a mansard. Also in the eastern side view there is a side elevation on the north edge.

On the north side towards the driveway there is a central staircase porch, next to which the entrance is on the right below a Söller . The well house in the courtyard is boarded up and has a bent tent roof . To the east of the driveway there is an additional auxiliary building consisting of two structures, which has now been separated as a plot of land.

history

Kurhaus Wettin from the south side (on the slope edge, 1912); in front of it stands the Fiedlerhaus

In 1891 the Dresden grinding shop owner Max Richard Herrfurth acquired the undeveloped parcels 4 to 6 in Oberlößnitz on the Haideberg, on the border with Boxdorf . These came from the estate of the Serkowitz innkeeper Friedrich August Huhle. In 1903 Herrfurth built a private driveway to his property, but he was forbidden to build a residential and restoration building due to "lack of need". Two years later, in 1905, Herrfurth stated in vain, “There should definitely not be a noisy riot restaurant ... but a restaurant in a finer style for a better audience, like the sparkling wine cellar in Niederlößnitz , but not only with wine, but also with beer served, so I hope that the beautiful height will be better known to the better public and that pretty villas will be built, so that the red elements that are becoming more and more prevalent here are finally opposed to a solid population loyal to the king and the red international is somewhat contained. "

On May 5, 1907, according to the building files, Herrfurth expanded his argumentation by stating that “the need for a good high-altitude restaurant has increased tremendously”, “once with the ... cheap 10 Pfg. Tariff for the electric tram from Räcknitz to Wilder Mann , on the other hand Due to the ... so enormously widespread automobile traffic, as the day trippers who are looking for relaxation go to restaurants, etc., which are a bit away from the street, and, as is the case with the above property, on dust-free footpaths, in order to save themselves from the automobile dust and smell automobile traffic are prohibited. To prove the truth of the above assertion, I am able to provide very credible witnesses. ”The following application from May 25th of the same year with plans by the Radebeul architect and builder Carl Käfer was also in vain .

Renewed plans from May 1908, this time by the Dresden architect Oskar Menzel , were approved, and Herrfurth also received hospitality permission. Thereupon the Serkowitz builder Wilhelm Eisold built the Höhen-Restaurant, which was opened on August 19, 1909 as a Kurhaus Wettin with a boarding house. In 1914 the terrace was glazed.

In 1920 the restaurant was sold to the care committee of the Dresden-Neustadt welfare office (or the Saxon Recreational Care District Association of the Dresden District Administration ) and operated as a children's home (children's sanatorium) with 100 beds in the following years. In 1923, the eastern, single-storey outbuilding was built according to plans by the government building councilor Caspar Theodor Höpker, which was expanded to include an extension in 1939. In 1927 the pump house and a lounge area were built.

In 1930 the building became the property of the city of Dresden and in 1933 the property too. From 1933 the property was used for a short time as a labor camp , from 1935 it became the Gauschule Haideberg of the NSDAP .

After the Second World War, control of the property was passed back to the Dresden City Council, which used it as a tuberculosis ward for the Dresden-Friedrichstadt Hospital. Between 1950 and 1970 it served as a lung sanatorium and then until the summer of 1999 as a geriatric ward of the Dresden-Neustadt hospital.

The sale to private took place. In 2005 the cultural monument was renovated and converted into an eleven-party house with 1000 m² of living space.
