The Lockwitzer street is a street in the Dresden district of Strehlen . At the beginning of the 20th century it was considered an important shopping street in the district. Part of the development was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden in 1945. From 1990 on, fallow land was rebuilt , especially near Wasaplatz , and new shops were opened there. Preserved old buildings are characterized by rich architectural decorations.
history
In the second half of the 19th century, Strehlen became a villa suburb of Dresden. The villa development developed from the village center around Altstrehlen as well as the Kreischaer, Dohnaer and Mockritzer Straße, mainly in an easterly and westerly direction. Larger residential and commercial buildings were built in closed development at the end of the 19th century, mainly south of the village center. The street that was created was called Lockwitzer Strasse.
As early as 1883, a line of the Dresden horse tram was put into operation in Strehlen , which ran from Neumarkt to Wasaplatz and ended in Kreischaer Straße. After the electrification of the railway in 1900, the route was expanded - the railway now ran from Wasaplatz on Lockwitzer Strasse up to Hugo-Bürkner-Strasse and was later extended to Reick . Also through the connection to the tram traffic , the Lockwitzer Straße developed into the most important shopping street in Strehlen.
Parts of the buildings were destroyed in the bombing of Dresden . Damaged buildings increasingly fell into disrepair and were only restored after the fall of the Wall . After 1990 fallow land was gradually developed with modern residential buildings and shopping arcades. Parts of Lockwitzer Strasse, however, remained undeveloped. So which serves Hugo Bürkner Park at the southern end of the road since its expansion as a flood basin of Kaitzbachs the flood in Dresden .
In 2007, the tram systems, lanes, traffic lights and street lighting on Lockwitzer Strasse between Heinrich-Zille-Strasse and Rayskistrasse were renewed. The costs for the municipality were around 900,000 euros.
traffic
Lockwitzer Straße starts at Wasaplatz, a traffic junction that is used by various train and bus lines.
Lockwitzer Straße itself is used by tram lines 9 and 13 as well as bus lines 63 and 75. Direct stops on Lockwitzer Strasse are the Mockritzer Strasse and Hugo-Bürkner-Strasse stops. The branch of the railway line into Hugo-Bürkner-Straße is designed as a turning triangle .
Development
overview
Lockwitzer Strasse 1 to 12 is still an offshoot of the residential area in Strehlen, although not all buildings are listed. This is followed with the buildings Lockwitzer Strasse 3 to 7 and 14 to 26 listed residential buildings from around 1900 in closed development, which are both in Art Nouveau and in the Neo-Renaissance style and have rich sculptural decorations.
The closed development finally changes over to Lockwitzer Strasse 31 to 67 in more open cooperative housing, which was built in the 1920s and survived the bombing of the city unscathed. The buildings from Lockwitzer Straße 71 already belong to the so-called Postiedlung , which extends further in the direction of Dohnaer and Teplitzer Straße and was built in the late 1920s. New buildings from the period after 1990 are mainly not far from Wasaplatz and house business premises and shops on the ground floor.
Single buildings
The residential buildings at Lockwitzer Strasse 14 and 16 were built in 1905 by master locksmith Franz Wagenlöchter from Dresden-Neustadt based on plans by his brother Wilhelm. Both buildings are three-story. The attic was expanded. Noteworthy are “[t] he facades of the residential buildings, which are quite unusual for Dresden standards,” the design of the entrance area number 14 with the balcony and consoles above is remarkable; the facade shows portrait reliefs. An appraisal by the Dresden building police only objected to the dimensions and design of the roof structures, which, for example, are adorned with Art Nouveau tendrils on house number 16. However, the design style was accepted by the office and the building was considered permissible in the report on December 8, 1904. The building permit was granted on February 11, 1905. On June 5, 1905, after four months of construction, the building was accepted.
The residential building at Lockwitzer Strasse 18 was also built in the Art Nouveau style. The building is a three-story corner house. The master builder Carl Krebs, who lived at Terrassenufer 4 in Dresden, provided the designs . The execution was taken over by the company Germeier & Co, which had acquired the construction site on June 26, 1902. The house was damaged in the bombing in 1945 and fell into disrepair until the 1990s. It was not renovated until the mid-1990s. Both the risalite and the sloping corner show upwardly closing gables. A colored coat of arms with a lion and floral decoration is emblazoned in the gable facing Lockwitzer Straße. The elaborate sandstone facade with the figure of a dragon as the console of the corner bay is remarkable.
The Art Nouveau building at Lockwitzer Strasse 20 was built in 1904 by Robert Goldschmidt for his brother Conrad Goldschmidt. He was an architect and owner of a construction company. The building was erected as a three-storey corner house in a closed construction, whereby a turret-like structure was planned at the angled corner, but was not implemented. The facade is structured with risalits , some of which end with a gable. There you can see differently shaped loggias with balconies and various decorative shapes. The window frames and cartridges in the window parapets ("window mirrors") are made of sandstone. The drapery of the front door with a “strong plastic floral ornamentation”, which is crowned by a woman's head, is remarkable .
The three-story houses at Lockwitzer Strasse 22 to 26 were built in the neo-renaissance style and have a clinker brick facade with Elbe sandstone subdivisions .
House number 22 has hardly any plastic jewelry and is dominated by two risalit-like bay windows on all three floors. The design of the stairwell is remarkable. Through the front door you don't go directly into the stairwell via the entrée with a few steps, but look at the semicircular curved wall of another anteroom. This is covered with mirrors, over which there is a colored mural. Naked children are shown playing and dancing in an Arcadian landscape. To the left you then enter the actual stairwell through a Moorish-looking arched portal.
The house number 24 is decorated with elaborate plastic jewelry, so the bay window is supported by two richly decorated console figures: the female figure is half-naked and is wrapped in a cloth; a cat is chasing a mouse at their feet. The muscular male figure is dressed in a loincloth and carries a hammer. At his feet is an anvil on which a unicorn with a nut sits.
The three-story corner building No. 26 was built as an apartment building shortly after 1900. It has a rusticated base and is faced with sandstone on the ground floor and clinker brick on the upper floors. The facade facing Lockwitzer Straße is representative in the form of the neo-Renaissance, while the courtyard side is kept simple. The corner design of the house is elaborate: It shows two bay windows, each of which is decorated with a harpy eagle. The bay windows form balconies on the third floor and close in small turrets. Between them lies a pointed gable with half-timbering. Art Nouveau windows have been preserved in the building's stairwell.

House number 20: portal
House number 24: group of figures under a bay window
House No. 26: Harpye on the bay window
Buildings no. 31 to 67 were built from 1925 to 1926 for the general tenant association in Dresden based on designs by the architect Walter Seidler . The buildings Lockwitzer Strasse 71 to 81 were built by Paul Löffler from 1927 to 1928 as part of the Strehlener Postiedlung .
