The Marienstraße is a street in the Dresden city ​​district Altstadt . Significant buildings were located on Marienstraße, such as the former imperial post office from 1875, the Teubnerische printing building from 1833 and the arts and crafts school founded in 1875. The Saxon painter Bernhard Kretzschmar captured the situation in several of his paintings: Marienstrasse in winter , Marienstrasse in the thaw and Marienstrasse in Dresden . During the GDR era, the street was renamed after the politician Otto Nuschke .

description

Marienstraße starts at Postplatz and flows into Waisenhausstraße. The street touches Antonsplatz and crosses Annenstraße and Liliengasse. Marienstraße, together with Wallstraße, was part of the old city ring and was located on the western border of the medieval city ​​fortifications . Within the city district, the street forms the border between the inner old town and the Wilsdruffer Vorstadt / Seevorstadt-West .

As part of the extensive renovation of the Postplatz from 2005, Marienstraße was also redesigned. The architecture office Professor Joachim Schürmann und Partner, Cologne , designed the street as a pedestrian zone with green spaces, trees and a water channel. So it should become part of a green belt around the old town and formally remind of the old fortress. In addition, the tram route leading through Marienstrasse was relocated. The tram lines 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 as well as the bus lines 75, 82 and 94 have been running on the Wallstraße, which runs parallel, since then.

  • No. 20 (Data Processing Center Dresden): The former building of the Data Processing Center Dresden is located here. The building complex was built from 1965 to 1966 under the urban planning direction of the architect Hans Konrad based on designs by the architects Gerhard Müller and Hans-Georg Bedrich as an eleven-storey administration building. Together with the eight-story residential development on Marienstraße, it forms the outer western ring development of Dresden's old town . The building was constructed using a 2-mega pond assembly method with a curtain aluminum facade. The facade is structured horizontally; the building gables were clad with vertical ribbon windows. There was space for 345 workers in the building.
  • No. 22 (Teubnerische Druckerei): This is where the Teubnerian printing company, founded in Dresden in 1833, was located, but it was soon replaced by a new building. They published the "Dresdner Journal" (later known as the "Sächsische Staatszeitung") and the state parliament messages. Teubner was honored by the Saxon King, Friedrich Wilhelm IV and the English royal couple for the "History of Book Printing" .
