Palais Bürgerwiese 17
Palais Bürgerwiese 17 (corner of Lüttichaustraße)

The tenement house Bürgerwiese 17 (actually An der Bürgerweise 17 , originally Halbe Gasse 5 and later Bürgerwiese 18 ) was built by the architect H. Lehmann († after 1854) from 1846 to 1847. It was located on the corner of the street out of town An der Bürgerwiese and Lüttichaustraße (today Hans-Dankner-Straße ). The house was destroyed in the air raids on Dresden in 1945. The palatial building was considered "one of the first Dresden apartment buildings".

description

It was a five-story corner house in a closed development. The building had a façade facing the Bürgerwiese, which took up 15 window axes, a 13-axis side facade facing Lüttichaustrasse and a beveled corner that took up two window axes. The floors were separated from one another by cornices. The wall surface of the facade was structured by coupled pilasters . While the ground floor was built with sandstone, the upper floors were smoothly plastered . The windows had a flat arch at the top.

The high building was accessed inside by a large spiral staircase with a stairwell . The building was captured on a colored lithograph by CW Arldt around 1860.

Location and history

The Dresdner Bürgerwiese , formerly a walled cattle pasture, had developed into an elegant residential area by the end of the 1840s. Court gardener Carl Adolph Terscheck designed the Inner Bürgerwiese , which reached as far as the Dohnaischen Schlag , as a kind of plant-adorned town square, on which the palaces and stately tenement houses of the noble society were located.

The first owner of the house recorded in a Dresden address book was Friedrich August Lehmann, who is known as a "room painter". He himself lived around the corner at Lüttichaustrasse 3. His tenants were - not atypical for the elegant Bürgerwiese - often aristocrats because most of the aristocrats lived in Dresden for rent. The ground floor was inhabited by a Count von Auersberg, known as “kk Austria. Chamberlain "is designated. Princess Pückler , the divorced wife of Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, lived on the first floor with her lap dogs, a tame squirrel and her servant Billy until at least 1852 . In April 1849, the princess asked in a letter whether she could lease the part of the Bürgerwiese in front of her house and plant them with flowers herself. Of course, she intends to maintain public accessibility.

Johann Paul von Falkenstein had his apartment above the princess , who had to resign from his office as Saxon Minister of the Interior a year earlier, accordingly the address book lists him as "Minister of State aD" He can also be found in later editions of the Dresden address book at this address, for example in 1854 as "Minister of Cult and Public Education." In 1868 he is still listed at this address. The upper floors were inhabited by less prominent contemporaries. On the third floor there was a captain a. D. Goldacker, and in the fourth a “pens. Calcul. “Trempelmann.

Also in the following years the house was inhabited by members of the court, the state government as well as simple citizens of Dresden. In 1855, for example, the Dresden address book lists the former Saxon finance minister Heinrich Anton von Zeschau , the court marshal of Crown Prince RE von Zezschwitz , the chief appeal councilor GF Th. Von König , but also the teacher Winkler and again, in addition to the aforementioned Mr. von Falkenstein retired finance lawyers Trempelmann.

Due to changes in the Dresden house numbers and street names, the building can sometimes be found in different places in the editions of the Dresden address books. Halbe Gasse on the south side of Dresdner Bürgerwiese and Dohnaische Gasse on its north side were combined under the name An der Bürgerwiese in the 1860s . In the address book from 1866, for example, the house appears with the cadastral number 275 and the tax number 6900 with the new address Bürgerwiese 17 . Around 1890, the numbering system in Dresden was changed to the orientation numbering that is still common today (as opposed to the horseshoe numbering that had been used until then ). As a result, the houses on the former Halben Gasse were given the even house numbers, those on Dohnaische Gasse the odd house numbers. The house at An der Bürgerwiese 17 has now become Bürgerwiese 18 .
