Life

Poscharsky's grave in the Dresden Johannisfriedhof

Max Georg Poscharsky was born in Dresden as a descendant of Bohemian exiles and the second son of Gotthelf Wilhelm Poscharsky, the court gardener of Prince Georg of Saxony . He studied under Constantin Lipsius at the Dresden Art Academy . In October 1887 he opened an office for architecture and construction work on Amalienstraße in Dresden.

Poscharsky and his wife are buried in the Johannisfriedhof in Dresden-Tolkewitz. The grave still exists today and is listed in the “Graves of Well-Known People” cemetery plan.

Buildings

Villa Vogesenweg 4

In 1889 Poscharsky expanded and rebuilt the " Zur Goldenen Krone" ballroom in Strehlen . The result was a representative inn with several guest rooms and club rooms.

From 1893 to 1894 the villa was built according to his plans in Blasewitz, which was later incorporated into Dresden, at what is now Vogesenweg 4 , formerly Elsasser Weg, which also served as his family's residence.

Poscharsky bought the property of Villa Weigang in Blasewitz on the corner of Goetheallee 55 and Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer in 1894 for 56,000 marks and submitted a building application in the same year. The villa was built in 1895 in an eclectic style with neo-renaissance elements. Max Georg Poscharsky probably sold this before it was completed on December 21, 1895 for 120,000 marks to the Bautzner businessman Karl Ernst Otto Weigang, who used the villa as a summer residence. It still bears Weigang's name and serves as the registry office for the city of Dresden. A jury, which included the President of the Federal Association of German Registrars, awarded the "Wedding Award 2013" on August 8, 2013 and named Villa Weigang as "Germany's most beautiful registry office".
