Tenement building Lindengasse 4

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lindengasse 4 (1903)

The tenement house Lindengasse 4 in Dresden was built in 1901 by Felix Reinhold Voretzsch in Art Nouveau style (probably at the same time as the neighboring house, the tenement house Lindengasse 2 ).

The multi-storey mansion, designed by Voretzsch like a palais, was built in a street with a closed construction. The sandstone facade had a length of five window axes. A polygonal bay window rested above a portal that was asymmetrically shifted to the left in the second axis. The portal border was given a lush foliage as an artistic building sculpture. To the left and right of the bay window there was a balcony with flower-decorated grilles. The entire architectural ornamentation of the building (grilles, blind cladding and the glazing of the street front) are also Art Nouveau.

The Jewish pharmacist Max Sternberg (born October 23, 1873) lived here until he was expelled from his apartment in one of the Dresden “Jewish houses”. He is one of the murdered Jews in Dresden.

The building was destroyed in the air raids on Dresden in 1945. After the destruction, the ruins were cleared at the beginning of the 1950s and today there is a green area in their place. The current address of Lindengasse 4 is assigned to a building from the 1960s and has nothing to do with the location or the architecture of the building that existed until 1945, it is a total loss.
