The tenement building at Wägnerstrasse 18 is a listed Art Nouveau building in the Dresden district of Blasewitz . It is one of the “most valuable villas in Dresden ”.

History and description of the building

The apartment building is one of the "largest residential buildings in the villa suburb of Blasewitz". It was built in 1905 by Martin Pietzsch in what was then Schulstrasse in the independent community of Blasewitz. The Künstlerhaus Dresden-Loschwitz also came from Pietzsch . The residents and owners of the house included the court actress Charlotte Basté and her husband, the actor and writer Franz Wallner .

The massive building, built on an approximately square floor plan, has two full floors and an extended attic in a steep mansard roof . "By stressing individuality ... the tenement takes [but] the atmosphere of the residential area and revives the strictly rectangular street system." The ground floor of the building has greatly staggered basket arch windows and is kept relatively simple. On the set-back east facade there are round balconies at the height of the first and second floors, which extend over three window axes. The balcony grilles show Art Nouveau motifs. An eaves with stucco decorations adjoins the second floor .

The north-western bay window of the house extends over two floors, the walls on the second floor are made of half-timbered houses . It is followed by a curved dome. The north facade is dominated by two window axes wide balconies on each floor, which are flanked by columns extending over three floors.

During the renovation in the 1990s, the plastered building was given a new, blue-green paint. Inside, the building is functionally structured. Originally preserved stucco ceilings are of particular importance here.

The luxurious apartment building is located in this part of Dresden in the midst of a large number of similar, but rarely so elaborately designed, detached houses. In an area from Schandauer Straße to Blasewitz, but also south of Fetscherplatz , many hundreds of these so-called “Dresden cube houses” or “ coffee mill houses” were built around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries .
