Remarks

  • This list is not suitable for deriving binding statements on the monument status of an object. As far as a legally binding determination of the listed property of an object is desired, the owner can apply to the responsible lower monument protection authority for a notice.
  • The official list of cultural monuments is never closed. It is permanently changed through clarifications, new additions or deletions. A transfer of such changes to this list is not guaranteed at the moment.
  • The monument quality of an object does not depend on its entry in this or the official list. Objects that are not listed can also be monuments.
  • Basically, the property of a monument extends to the substance and appearance as a whole, including the interior. Deviating applies if only parts are expressly protected (e.g. the facade).

Detailed memorial texts

  1. War graves with collective graves and memorial for 122 Soviet soldiers and officers killed in spring 1945, 1950s and 1970s; the complex is characterized by a dedicated architectural and horticultural design, which is typical of this special culture of remembrance of the post-war period. On a roughly 600 square meter, diamond-shaped area, a path paved with large artificial stone slabs leads from the entrance to the memorial, strongly emphasized by rising wall segments made of red granite that are drawn into the complex; Plant beds bordered by concrete borders on both sides of the path. In the center of the area, on a two-tiered base made of granite blocks, lies a sandstone slab with a five-pointed metal star around 75 centimeters in diameter on top of it. Three meters behind it, a truncated pyramid made of embossed sandstone blocks rises up to a height of three and a half meters, graduated at the top and covered with cover plates. On the lower step a flame bowl, on the wall itself a copper plaque: “Eternal Glory to the Fallen Heroes 1941–1945” and, at the level of the flame bowl, a Soviet star. On both sides behind the memorial there is an approximately two meter high plaque made of polished stone, each with about sixty names engraved in Cyrillic script. The rear of the complex is enclosed by a slightly arched, almost twenty meter long and 2.50 meter high brick wall (a "scenae frons"), otherwise by a metal fence with artificial stone pillars. The area is also characterized by large areas covered with conifers and deciduous trees.
    Initially, only the sparsely marked graves of the fallen in concrete existed on this terrain, whereby six dead were placed in each grave according to the Soviet funeral regulations. The only creative moment was an obelisk. As elsewhere, the facility in its current form and dimensions was not built until later, probably in 1975 on the occasion of the thirty years of the war, financed, among other things, by VMI services (National Economic Mass Initiative).
  2. Villa Künzel , completed in 1911 for the owner of the neighboring glass factory Kurt Künzel as a manufacturer's villa; the two-storey plastered building of architectural, local and artistic value shows traditional forms of rule in a contemporary stylized way. With a high base and covered by a heavily protruding hipped roof, it jumps back and forth in the main “neo-baroque” facade. The polygonal pilaster-framed side projections frame the slightly convex protruding middle section, the dominant feature of which is the curved, crowned, two-winged entrance portal with a flight of stairs. The central axis is continued on the first floor by the large opening to the balcony, in the roof area by a roof house in the form of a tail gable, and finally crowned by a lantern-like roof turret with a curved railing. This vertical centrality is balanced out by the convex balcony railing which occupies two thirds of the facade and which, together with the eaves, sets striking horizontal accents. The sovereign lines of the facade, which can be considered an artistic value, also enable the harmonious coexistence of openings with a straight lintel on the ground floor and those with a rounded end on the first floor. On the garden side, which is dominated by a column-supported winter garden (again with an outside staircase), the play of round and straight ends on the ground floor even appears as a Palladi motif. Two pillars crowned by lanterns accentuate the entrance situation. The rich interior is an impressive testimony to the special quality of the handicrafts between 1900 and the First World War. Elaborate wall and ceiling paneling, parquet floors, Corinthian wooden pilasters, a wooden staircase corresponding to the outer baroque curve and a bathroom with illustrated wall tiles are cited as evidence. A magnificently decorated tiled stove that was brought here is of an older date. What is striking is the high proportion of construction-time details, e.g. B. also the majority of the elaborately grooved windows.
    The villa garden, largely fenced in, with the largest side to the east of over a hundred meters, was created around the same time, with an existing tree population being integrated into the newly emerging reform garden as an element of a landscape garden. The villa and the brick nymphaeum (the only known Saxon in a private garden), about 100 m away at the other end of the garden, are the poles of a longitudinal central axis, which is constitutive for the garden-architectural penetration of the area with rows of linden trees and cut hornbeam hedges, which gradually approach the nymphaeum and finally frame it - a formal language that is characteristic of the short period of contemporary reform gardens. Some disruptive elements and the loss of some of the original garden substance, as well as the covering of the still existing original path system, did not have a decisive impact on the integrity of the facility, which is unique in the region.
