The Ziller brothers
The Ziller brothers were two builders in the 19th century in the Saxon town of Lößnitz, northwest of Dresden, which is now Radebeul's urban area. Moritz Gustav Ferdinand Ziller (born September 28, 1838 in Serkowitz , today Radebeul- Oberlößnitz ; † October 11, 1895 in Serkowitz, today Radebeul-Serkowitz) learned a building trade as a builder, following a family tradition of the Ziller family of builders, already in the third generation, and entered the building trade In 1859 father Christian Gottlieb Ziller's master builder business in Oberlößnitz. In the year of the father's 60th birthday in 1867, the younger brother, master builder Gustav Ludwig Ziller (born April 3, 1842 in Oberlößnitz; † February 27, 1901 in Serkowitz), returned from abroad, and Moritz and Gustav renamed their father's construction business Construction company "Gebrüder Ziller" , usually "Gebr. Ziller ”, which shortly later opened her shop across the street in Serkowitz.
From the founding period to the next turn of the century, the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller" played a key role in the construction boom in the Lößnitz towns , alongside competitors such as the construction companies of the Brothers Große , Adolf Neumanns and FW Eisolds . The "Gebrüder Ziller" had the largest company in this branch in the region with 30 to 40 employees, at peak times over 70. Especially in Nieder- and Oberlößnitz and the adjacent fields of Serkowitz and Radebeul they bought up larger areas, especially abandoned vineyards, in order to parcel and develop them. Then they built country houses and villas street by street at their own expense, on behalf of customers, or they gave the land to owners with their own architects. Finished houses were marketed by her brother Otto , a merchant and owner of the Loessnitz warehouse .
In order to increase the residential attractiveness, there were designs in public spaces with squares, figures, rondelles and fountains, which were fed by the Ziller waterworks in the Lößnitzgrund. As a result, the Radebeul cityscape as a villa and garden city was still effectively shaped today.
In the sense of “everything from a single source”, the Zillers ran their own design office, had their own quarries, a sawmill and a wood yard, in addition they took care of all trades and all material transports themselves and also procured the works of art for display in public or private spaces.
As an efficient company in the region, they were also responsible for large-scale buildings such as the hospital in Niederlößnitz, the Luisenstift high school, the renovation of the Friedenskirche in Kötzschenbroda and the Emmauskirche in Kaditz, the Friedensburg, the Bilz sanatorium and many more.
“The exact number of Ziller's buildings is [however] not known because of the inadequate evaluation of the sources [so far]. Due to individual buildings of high quality, but also due to the character of the cityscape, Ziller buildings were [already] included in earlier lists of monuments, but larger numbers were included in the list of monuments from 1991 [...] ”.
Live and act
Moritz's early years
The two eldest sons of the master builder Christian Gottlieb Ziller , Ernst Moritz Theodor (Ernst) (1837-1923) and Moritz Gustav Ferdinand (Moritz) were both born in the house at today's Augustusweg 4 on Serkowitz vineyard corridor and on August 6, 1839, with the Foundation of the community of Oberlößnitz, its inhabitants. Both learned trades, Ernst mason and Moritz carpenter. They received the necessary theoretical training from their father, especially in winter when the construction work was idle. Ernst also attended the construction studio of the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden ( Semper-Nicolai-Schule ) from 1855 to 1858 , where he received a bronze medal in the second year and a silver medal in the third year.
The two brothers went to Leipzig to see their master stonemason friend, Einsiedeln, and from there they wanted to go to Berlin or Potsdam together, where their uncle Christian Heinrich Ziller (1791–1868) worked. However, on Einsiedeln's advice, they went to the more “solid” Vienna . Moritz quickly found work as a carpenter, while Ernst worked as a draftsman in the office of the classic Danish architect Theophil von Hansen . Just six months later, Hansen went to Greece to prepare for the construction of the Athens Academy, while the two brothers Ernst and Moritz returned to Dresden to deepen their knowledge in the construction studio of the Academy of Fine Arts in the winter . While Moritz started his father's master builder business in Oberlößnitz in the summer of 1859, Ernst returned to him at an offer from Hansen in Vienna, from where they went to Athens , Ernst Ziller's future place of work.
From 1862 the local building files list "Ziller jun." Or Moritz Ziller as the person responsible for the building; in 1864 he took over his father's building business. In these years the Albertsberg house was converted , an extension to the Mehlhorn country house and the Waldhof villa were built , which many years later came into the possession of his sister Helene Ziller (1843–1918), who ran a family pension there. The unmarried Helene had run Moritz's household until his marriage in 1890. Moritz also built the castle-like mansion on Curt Robert von Welck's estate and the renovation of the villa by Josef Rudolf Lewy-Hoffmann .
Gustav's early years
The younger brother Gustav Ludwig (Gustav), born in Oberlößnitz, studied after his master mason training at the building school and then at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts . Then he went to Vienna to his brother Ernst, where he worked for a while as a designer in Theophil von Hansen's office. From Vienna, Gustav made study trips to Rome, Florence, Venice and Tuscany , on which he, a “gifted artist”, developed his artistic streak and familiarized himself with the architecture of northern Italy. At the urgent request of his father, Gustav gave in to family reasons and after some delays he returned to Lößnitz in 1867.
Construction company "Gebrüder Ziller"
Since more and more construction companies were pushing into the rapidly growing Lößnitz region, father Christian Gottlieb wanted to hand over the company to his children as successors in good time. At his request, Gustav, who was strong in design and artistic, returned from abroad in 1867 in the year of his father's 60th birthday to complement his older brother Moritz, who was strong in commercial matters and specialized in the creation of gardens, outdoor areas and squares. In the same year 1867, the family's well-established construction company in Oberlößnitz was renamed by the two brothers to the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller, Oberlößnitz" .
In 1869 Gustav built his house on the opposite side of the street, which already belonged to Serkowitz , a large country house- like villa (Hauptstraße 2, today Augustusweg 3). There his younger sister Pauline Henriette Antonie (Pauline) (1845–1937) ran the household until he married Johanna Sophie Marie (Marie) (1862–1910) in 1886, a daughter of Dresden's secret councilor Otto Hennig, whose parents were at the time Sophienstrasse was a Ziller villa. The honeymoon led to Greece, u. a. also to the older brother Ernst Ziller in Athens.
In 1870 the house for Moritz followed on the neighboring property (Hauptstraße 3, today Augustusweg 5) . There the younger sister Helene Mathilde Angelika (Helene) (1843-1918) ran the household until Moritz married in 1890. With the addition of a studio room and a plan archive, this residential building became the business premises of the Ziller brothers , which was also located in Serkowitz, even though the company continued to advertise with the Oberlößnitz suffix because of the better name, where it was located just across the street as its father's company (Augustusweg 4). The work area was located directly across the street from the business premises and could be viewed from there. The sister Helene later received the Villa Waldhof in order to run a family pension there for her livelihood.
Otto Heinrich (Otto) (1840–1914), who lies between the two brothers, did not learn a construction trade, but was to become very important for the Zillers. He took the job of the merchant and built on land adjacent to the brothers (Main Street 4, today Augustusweg 11 / corner Nizzastraße ) a big house in which he the Lößnitz department store business, a shop for groceries , delicacies , seeds and porcelain , which also Karl May did his shopping. Since it sometimes took more than a year until the houses completed as a property developer on his own account could be sold, the brother took over the “proof of rental apartments and real estate for Oberlößnitz and the surrounding area through Otto Ziller, Colonialwaarenhandlung in Oberlößnitz, Hauptstr. No. 4. “Otto took over the flaws for the siblings if they did not build on order but on their own account. Among other things, in 1895 he sold an already completed house on a property south of the newly built Luther Church , which became known as Villa Shatterhand under its new owner Karl May .
Otto's youngest son Curt Ziller (1876–1945) also became an architect and worked as a building officer in Württemberg. He was picked up during a visit to Saxony in 1945 and is missing.
Company profile
The two master builders Moritz and Gustav complemented each other. Moritz managed the company from an economic point of view and was also responsible for the garden and outdoor facilities. This weakness resulted in the public spaces that still exist today with fountains or street entrance situations with erected figures and the already laid out outdoor areas of houses, which were completely handed over to the buying customers. Gustav, on the other hand, was the architect and designer, he stood for the “Bureau for Architecture and Construction”. It was there that not only the many designs for the buildings of the brothers themselves were created, but also designs that were then implemented by other local construction companies such as FW Eisold .
The Ziller brothers owned their own quarries, from which they supplied themselves, and their own sawmill. To do this, they had acquired the dairy in Lößnitzgrund , a water-powered grinding and cutting mill , which they switched to steam operation in 1881. For sandstones as well as for the self-cut timber and firewood, they had their own defeat. With their masonry columns and their own workshops for carpentry, joinery, glazing and stone carving, the two brothers employed up to 77 people, many of whom received a silver medal for 25 years of service. While some of the trades were not enough to complete all the work, and the brothers therefore had to temporarily employ construction companies from the area, the Zillers also took on orders in which they only worked on individual trades, such as the partial demolition and rebuilding of the church Kötzschenbroda or during the construction of Villa Kolbe .
The company renovated or expanded existing buildings and was "primarily involved" in building many new houses on behalf of customers and on its own account, including the specialties of the Swiss-style villas and the Tuscan villas , which already came from the father . The construction company "Gebrüder Ziller" also erected the building more reminiscent of the Saxon Semper-Nicolai-Schule , as it was built by the competition. In addition, the Zillers sold building sites on the land acquired cheaply because of the phylloxera disaster and left it to others to build houses there.

"Bureau for Architecture and Construction"
In the large studio on the premises of the business premises , the two brothers ran their architecture office, which also worked for other master builders and construction companies. There the buildings, some of which look slightly different from those of the competitors, were built: Swiss-style houses were unique in Loessnitz, and the Tuscan villas had also been a specialty of the Ziller family since the father's time. The historicist villas also looked a little different. Most of the other builders in the Lößnitz were mainly familiar with the Semper-Nicolai School taught in Dresden . The two Ziller brothers, however, had also studied these, but Gustav in particular was also shaped by his international experience, be it in Vienna with Theophil von Hansen or on his study trips to northern Italy. It is also known that there was a lively contact with older brother Ernst Ziller in Athens. And possibly there was also contact with the cousin Hermann Ziller in Berlin.
The construction company FW Eisold , founded by the Serkowitz builder and manufacturer Friedrich Wilhelm Eisold , which was also owned by builders and architects for three generations and, like the Ziller brothers, opened up and built entire streets, had the Ziller brothers design some objects there. So in 1875 the design for the Albertschlösschen , the "new building of a fine restaurant combined with a confectionary", named after the Saxon King Albert at the time , was created in the Zillerschen studio room . The 1882 by the statisticians and social economist Ernst Engel related Villa Angel was built by the construction company FW Eisold after a 1879 resulting draft Brothers Ziller. In 1877 Gustav Ziller designed a country house-like villa composed as an assembly (see for example Sophienhof ), which the Ziller brothers also built several times themselves. He modified this design in 1879 for the construction company FW Eisold, which built it as a group building in Pestalozzistraße 39 .
The building contractor Carl Christian Petzold had additions and a free-standing gardener's house at Borstrasse 17a designed for an existing Swiss-style building in Borstrasse 17 in 1872. In 1876 the large villa Borstrasse 11 was built , and in 1878 the design for the country house-like Villa Elisa followed on plot no .
Building trades
The craftsmen of the Ziller brothers sometimes also took on individual trades. In 1884/1885, for the architect Karl Weißbach , who was responsible for the building, they carried out the demolition work for the partially new construction of the Kötzschenbroda church, as well as the set-up and carpentry work. In 1890/1891 they took over the construction of Villa Kolbe , one of “the most elaborate and architecturally high-quality villas in Radebeul and the surrounding area” for the planning Charlottenburg architect Otto March , son of the pottery manufacturer Ernst March , whose company the Zillers had already made with terracotta figures for a decade supplied, the execution of all masonry work. During the construction of the Steinbachhaus for the Progymnasium for the Lößnitz in 1906/1907 it was the earthworks and masonry work.
Not only her own youngest brother, the architect Paul Ziller , had the May tomb, which he designed, built by the Ziller brothers in 1903 . The architect Oswald Haenel had his own residential and office villa built at Weinbergstrasse 40 in 1894/1895 , as well as the country house for August Radloff on the neighboring property during the same period . The Ziller brothers also built the villa he designed for August Koebig in 1900/1901. The architect Carl Käfer , who also only ran a design office, had some of his works built by the Ziller brothers, for example the Villa Käthe in 1889 or the Ernst Gottlieb Hoffmann rental villa at Heinrichstrasse 1 in 1895 .
For the Lössnitz Castle , which was built by 1895, House II of the Bilz Sanatorium , the Zillers created not only the building itself, but also all implementation plans for the Dresden architects Oscar Wend & Paul Eger.
Infrastructure
The Ziller brothers participated in the commercial water supply in the Lößnitz. When the existing community wells and the connections to the pipelines, some of which had been in operation since the 17th century, were no longer sufficient due to the construction boom, the Ziller brothers laid an iron water pipe to supply Oberlößnitz in 1867/1868, coming from Wahnsdorf, which was fed from springs. When this line, which uses the natural gradient, did not prove itself, the Zillers built the Zillersche Wasserwerk in Lößnitzgrund , named after them, from 1870 to 1876 , which consisted of two collecting wells and a pumping station. The pumping station was operated by two steam engines. A 400 cubic meter elevated tank on the Jägerberg also belonged to the waterworks . With this water supply, the Ziller brothers managed to feed not only numerous end users but also various public fountains and fountains , such as the one on Fontainenplatz in Dr.-Schmincke-Allee.
By 1890, the number of connections rose to 150. In 1891, the company was converted to the Neubrunn joint stock company , in which the Ziller brothers and all water consumers were involved. The statistician Ernst Engel , who lives in Serkowitz, became its chairman . The existing systems were supplemented in 1895 by the new construction of the waterworks on Neubrunnstrasse, which is still in operation today. In 1901, the year Gustav Ziller died, the stock corporation became the sponsorship of the associated municipalities of Oberlößnitz, Serkowitz and Radebeul. The Zillersche waterworks in Lößnitzgrund was still in operation until 1923. The waterworks on Neubrunnstrasse, which was built in the days of the Zillers, is the main plant that still secures the operation of the Radebeul water company, most of the water is now drawn from the Dresden network.
Public and commercial buildings
Shortly after their reorganization, the Ziller brothers managed to become active in the field of public and commercial construction in their home region. In 1869, for example, they were commissioned to renew the steeple of their church in Kaditz, a branch church of Kötzschenbroda, which was followed in 1887/1888 by the renovation and Gothicization of the entire Emmaus Church in Kaditz . Already in the years 1884/1885 the Ziller brothers took over the demolition work as well as the set-up and carpentry work for the partial new construction of the Kötzschenbrodaer church. The current Catholic rectory from 1876 to 1878, on the other hand, was built at that time as a private building in the style of a Roman villa for the building contractor Carl Christian Petzold.
In 1873 the “Gebr. Ziller ”from the Diakonissenanstalt zu Dresden was given the task of increasing and rebuilding their stone house , which was built in 1849 as the first hospital in the area of Dresden . Until 2008, the Bethesda pharmacy was located in the building at the entrance to the Radebeul hospital (Heinrich-Zille-Straße 13 / 13a) . From 1876 to 1879, the Ziller brothers built behind the Stone House , the infirmary "Bethesda" , known today as the house I used the Radebeuler Elbe Hospital. Right next to it, in 1869/1870, the reformatory “Talitha Kumi” for fallen girls , also known as the Magdalene Asylum, was also owned by the Dresden deaconesses. This old people's home, which was expanded in the 1920s, is now called Hedwig-Fröhlich-Haus .
From 1880 additional buildings for Dr. Kadner's sanatorium in Niederlößnitz, Borstrasse 9, the first building of which her father Christian Heinrich had built in 1850. In the years 1894/1895 Eduard Bilz had the Lössnitz Castle built for his Bilz sanatorium . This is the largest building in the Swiss style in the entire Radebeuler corridor.

The current Luisenstift high school , built between 1868 and 1870, was also built as a building for the Dresden Diakonissenanstalt. This moved the school founded by Louise Henriette von Mangoldt in Tharandt in 1857 , which the institution had inherited, to Niederlößnitz, where the Ziller brothers built a new building for the evangelical school for wealthy daughters, now known as Luisenstift . From 1874 to 1875 the brothers built the Serkowitz school after the Serkowitz children had to go to Kaditz in the local school house for almost 250 years. The Serkowitz School on Strasse des Friedens 35 has been a private residence since 1905.
The Friedensburg built in 1870/1871 on the mountain edge above Niederlößnitz was probably the first inn that the Ziller brothers built. This was followed in 1875 by the Ziller design for the Albertschlösschen , a “new building of a fine restaurant connected to a confectionery”, which the construction company FW Eisold built near Meißner Strasse in Serkowitz. Moritz Ziller converted the dairy in 1881/1882 . He had acquired this large mill property in Lößnitzgrund. The mill itself was used by the company as its own sawmill, while the brothers set up a country inn as a destination at their own expense, which they then handed over to a leaseholder for management.
In the Lößnitzgrund they had already built the actual waterworks for the Ziller water supply they operated in around 1875 . A quarter of a century later, in 1903, the company also built House A of the Niederlößnitz electricity plant in Lößnitzgrund , the administrative building that was erected in place of the Pönitzschmühle previously located there.
Housing construction on existing buildings
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/Radebeul_Mohrenhaus_Donadini.jpg/220px-Radebeul_Mohrenhaus_Donadini.jpg)
As successful and high-performing builders in their region, Moritz and Gustav Ziller were responsible for numerous construction projects on buildings that are important for the Lößnitz and are now usually listed buildings. Moritz Ziller had already converted the late baroque manor house Albertsburg into a Swiss-style building with Gothic elements for a new owner in 1862 . The heiress (or widow) of the owner had the building in 1898 again umstilisieren, this time in Baroque architect Oskar Menzel the building.
Shortly after their father's company was renamed, the Ziller brothers carried out the actual construction of the Mohrenhaus on the foundations of the previous building from 1868 to 1871 . The castle-like character of the "stylish castle" with the striking observation tower on an octagonal floor plan in the neo-Gothic style with some forms of the Tudor style was created through quotations from Eckberg Castle in Dresden. It is unclear whether the forest park, which was also newly created at that time, was also laid out by the Ziller brothers.
In 1871, the Jägerberg manor house was expanded to include a winter garden, a residential tower and a porch with a flight of stairs and sculptures. Moritz Ziller created an oval fountain basin with a fountain in the middle of the garden. Around 1876 Haus Friedland was extended . In the years 1879/1880 the conversion followed with an extension of the existing building on the Wettinhöhe to the Wettinhöhe Castle . The press room extension at Bennoschlösschen was increased in 1896.
Housing according to your own designs
Moritz and Gustav Ziller had their own ideas about their architecture, which were derived from the fact that their father had already introduced an Italian type of house to the Loessnitz and that they themselves had not only studied the Saxon Semper Nicolai School like many of their competitors. They also had experiences in Vienna. Gustav had been there with Theophil von Hansen and from there traveled to Italy to further his artistic training and to study the Italian architecture of the time.
The first own designs are villas of the Italian type and those in the Swiss style . In 1865 Moritz Ziller applied for the construction of a large villa in the style of a Roman country house, the Villa Hoflößnitzstraße 6, on his own plot . Today's Catholic rectory, a large villa built between 1876 and 1878 for the building contractor Carl Christian Petzold at Borstrasse 11, repeats the type of the Roman villa. The Roman country house was also the model for the much smaller villa at Zillerstraße 5 .
In the years 1863/1864 Moritz Ziller built the Villa Waldhof, probably his first building in the Swiss style, which many more were to follow. So in 1870 he built his own house , which also served as the Ziller brothers' business premises , around 1871 the villa for Herbert König and in 1878 the villa for Ernst Grafe . The Swiss style was so successful in Loessnitz that it was also used by other architects. While the gardener's house of the Goldschmidtvilla was built by the master builder Adolf Neumann , who otherwise tended to the Semper Nicolai School , the Dresden architects Oscar Wend & Paul Eger designed the Lössnitz Castle in the Swiss style, but then left the execution planning as well as the realization of the largest house of the Bilz Sanatorium to the Ziller brothers.
In the course of the following years, the Ziller brothers designed numerous basic types of villas, rental villas and country houses as well as group buildings, which they were able to vary again and again due to the requirements of the local building regulations, and from which they develop an offer based on the customer's space requirements could.
Property developer business
The "Gebr. Ziller ”also worked as a project developer and property developer. To this end, they acquired large areas in Lößnitz, which, for example, could be bought cheaply as former vineyards because of the ban on further viticulture due to the phylloxera disaster, as well as areas south of Meißner Strasse that farmers sold as building land. The Ziller brothers developed these areas at their own expense and parceled them out as building land. In the following construction phase, the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller" completed the streets at their own expense, including greenery as well as some decorative fountains and art in public spaces . The finished streets were transferred to the municipality and the building sites there were built with villas partly at their own expense or sometimes already on behalf of customers. Building plots that were not binding were partially sold, in other cases they were also kept in the company's own portfolio as building reserves in order to be able to make offers to customers “in pleasant locations” at any time. These offers also included houses that had already been completed, some of which were rented and which could only be sold to buyers later. The "plot development and development" is explicitly mentioned in Dehio, in particular those on Zillerstrasse and Dr.-Schmincke-Allee, as well as the sculptures in Eduard-Bilz-Strasse (formerly Sophienstrasse ).
The streets completely completed by the Ziller brothers from 1875 included the Zillerstraße and Zillerplatz, named after the construction company itself by the rural community of Niederlößnitz, as well as the plan road XI built from 1889 on the former farmland "Oberzeilen" , which ran through the municipality of Alt-Radebeul in 1890 was named after Moritz Ziller Moritzstraße (today Hölderlinstraße). These streets in Oberlößnitz included Sophienstrasse (named after a sister of the two brothers, today part of Eduard-Bilz-Strasse), Friedlandstrasse and Nizzastrasse , in Serkowitz the Dr.-Schmincke-Allee and in Radebeul the Gellertstrasse .
The Ziller brothers also maintained this provision of free building areas and building detached villas at their own expense in many other streets, where they did not own the entire street space, but where they were mostly able to acquire larger building areas along existing streets because of the abandonment of larger properties.
Public room
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Radebeul_Fontainenplatz1.jpg/220px-Radebeul_Fontainenplatz1.jpg)
The building regulations of the Lößnitz communities already stipulated that the "face" of the houses had to face the street, i.e. that the street views of the buildings including the front gardens, which were usually visible, were part of the public space. Moritz Ziller therefore also attached great importance to the high-quality design of the front gardens, which were often already laid out and handed over to customers. In addition, in the streets developed by the Ziller brothers, there were planned entrances as well as intermediate spaces such as Zillerplatz in the middle of Zillerstraße or Fontainenplatz in the middle of Dr.-Schmincke-Allee north of Meißner Straße.
For example, Fontainenplatz with the roundabout in Dr.-Schmincke-Allee was laid out at the Ziller brothers' own expense as an oval square to beautify the city, around which four villas were placed. On the square there is a fountain basin with the eponymous " Fontaine " in a green area , which, after more than 50 years of inactivity, was dug up again in 2008 by the local association for monument preservation and new building in Radebeul and put into operation. The city of Radebeul is now making this fountain bubble again. The Ziller brothers set up four figures from Ernst March , Charlottenburg , around the fountain basin , depicting the four seasons and whose designs were made by Julius Franz . These life-size figures, procured as catalog items in 1880, stand on pedestals and look towards the fountain. The roundabout in the widening of Dr.-Schmincke-Allee with the group of figures of the four seasons is considered both as a monument conservation entity and as a work of landscape and garden design .
The group of figures standing on pedestals at the beginning of the former Sophienstrasse , which the Ziller brothers procured at their own expense and integrated into the property borders of numbers 21 and 32, also come from the March company . There on Nizzastrasse they formed the entrance from Alvslebenplatz to the former Sophienstrasse. A medallion with the portrait of the youngest Ziller sister Sophie, who died of tuberculosis in 1874 and after whom the street was named, was on the wall of the Sophienhof, which stands there on property no. At the other end of the street, Moritz Ziller widened the street in a semicircle and thus formed the former Königsplatz on Augustusweg, today Eduard-Bilz-Platz. Where the Bilz stone stands today, a figure of the Greek goddess of victory Nike by Christian Daniel Rauch stood until 1908 .
The Ziller brothers also set up figures from the March company in front gardens that can be seen from the street. In addition, some properties were given park-like gardens in collaboration with the landscape gardener Gustav Pietzsch.
Street entrances were partially emphasized with special architectural details. From the prestigious Zillerplatz with its fountain, it went south to Zillerstraße, where on the eastern corner stood her father's Gothic house from 1850. To emphasize the counterpart on the opposite side, which the Ziller brothers erected around 1873, it was given a three-story turret on the corner with a traffic light on top, something like a lighthouse. The Villa Zillerstraße 13 still stands, while the Gothic house across the street was abgängig (Heinrich Zille-Straße 5) and was demolished of 2007. Another street begins in the Nizzastraße where it is flanked by two houses in the depression of the Lößnitzbachaue. While the villa on the north side (No. 7) from 1879/1880 has a turret-like, round corner bay window, the villa on the other side of the street (No. 6), built one year later, cites this through a three-story corner tower.
Moritz Ziller also showed his commitment to the beautification of public spaces by becoming the founding chairman of the Beautification Association for the Loessnitz and the surrounding area in 1880 . In this task he was followed in 1892 by the pharmacist Hermann Ilgen , in 1893 by the master builder FA Bernhard Große , in 1896 by the astronomer Richard Etzold, in 1903 by the accountant and local judge Hugo Eggers and from 1927 to the end of the association in 1932 by the former mayor of Radebeul, Robert Werner .
The years after the founders died
Moritz Ziller died in 1895. The successful building contractor bequeathed his share of the joint company assets to his brother Gustav, who received the young widow Elli Bertha Wilhelmine, born in 1890, to Moritz. Kannenberg (* 1869) had to look after her little daughter Hanna until she later remarried.
Five and a half years after the death of his brother Moritz, the second founder and owner of the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller", the successful designer and architect Gustav Ziller, also died in 1901. The youngest brother Paul Ziller , who after his return from Greece ran a small construction and architecture office from his eldest brother Ernst in the Lößnitz, took over the management of the brotherly construction company. However, due to loss-making speculations, he had to hand over management to his sister-in-law Johanna Sophie Marie (Marie) (1862-1910), Gustav's widow, who held it for the next ten years until her death.
Marie Ziller was supported by the "academic architect and master builder" BDA Max Steinmetz (* 1867 in Schöten ; † January 13, 1911 in Radebeul), a friend of Gustavs who was already employed in the design office and Marie's technical director. How many designs by the Ziller brothers came from Steinmetz's pen in the 19th century cannot be traced due to the lack of signatures. In 1907, Steinmetz designed his own house in the reform style reminiscent of the garden city of Hellerau at Rosenstrasse 11 .
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e5/Ziller_Grab_Radebeul_Gustav.jpg/220px-Ziller_Grab_Radebeul_Gustav.jpg)
One year after Gustav's death, as stipulated in his will, Marie kept savings bank books for all workers in order to thank them for their loyalty to the company.
The Building A of the power station Niederlößnitz was built still under the previous style of the company. However, the younger architect Steinmetz recognized the signs of the times and abandoned the design style of historicism . With his country houses, he turned to a building style that was more oriented towards the coming reform architecture, which for the next ten years became the trademark of the "Gebrüder Ziller" construction company .
Marie Ziller died in 1910, leaving behind three children, Gustav Otto (Otto) (1889-1958), who also became an architect, Reinhart (1897-1917), who "had an accident in Russia" in 1917, and Gertrud (1898-1918), who died of tuberculosis. Two other children had already died in childhood.
In January 1911, Max Steinmetz took over the architecture and construction studio of the Ziller brothers , but died in the course of the same year, with the result that the architectural office went out. The construction company with the associated building materials business went to the local master builder Alwin Höhne , who continued it as the “Gebrüder Ziller” company (successor) . In 1917, the year Gustav's younger son Reinhart died, the “Gebrüder Ziller” company was deleted from the register and Alwin Höhne continued to work under his own name. Otto Ziller finished his studies after the First World War and practiced in the Höhne construction business until he graduated as a master builder in 1920 and in 1922 joined a free architects' association in Radebeul.
Moritz Ziller was buried in the family's hereditary funeral in the Kaditz churchyard, his brother Gustav, like her customer Karl May, is in a family funeral at the Radebeul-Ost cemetery . Next to it is the individual grave of the son Reinhart, who died in 1917.
Honors
In 1875 the community Niederlößnitz named the Zillerstraße after the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller", which had developed this street. Planstrasse XI in Alt-Radebeul was given the street name Moritzstrasse (since 1945 Hölderlinstrasse ) in recognition of Moritz Ziller's services to the urban development of the Lößnitzorte . The Zillerplatz in Niederlößnitz, which was named after Moritz Ziller at the end of the 19th century and was called the Young Pioneers' Square between 1950 and 1992 , now bears its old name again, Zillerplatz .
The middle section of Eduard-Bilz-Strasse in Oberlößnitz, which has been named after Eduard Bilz since 1945 , between the old “Königsplatz” (crossing with Augustusweg) and the crossing with Nizzastrasse (after the “Saxon Nice” as a royal bon mot from the year 1860 for the Lößnitz), was called Sophienstrasse . It was given this name in 1905 after the Sophienhof at its beginning , which was built in 1877 by the Ziller brothers and named in honor of their sister Sophie Eugenia (1853–1874), who died in 1874.
The Beautification Association for the Lößnitz and the surrounding area erected the Moritz Ziller Monument in the Lößnitzgrund to its founding chairman Moritz Ziller after his death .
The parish of Kaditz honored the Ziller family by the fact that Moritz Ziller's hereditary burial, together with his sisters, was the only one to be placed directly on the church itself and the grave plaques were attached to the outside of the church.
In 2009, the city of Radebeul passed the statutes for awarding the Moritz Ziller Prize for the city's urban design "in memory of the Ziller family of architects who had a significant influence on the development of urban planning and gardening culture in the 19th century Radebeul , with which she honors the successful entrepreneur as well as Moritz Ziller, who was successful in his honorary position as chairman of the beautification association for the Lößnitz and the surrounding area . The prize is regularly awarded as part of an ideas competition to young urban planners, architects and horticultural architects or students of these disciplines who "contribute to solving problems in urban development and landscape planning [...] and help spread progressive ideas in these areas [...]."
