Detail of the decoration

The Mietsvilla Reinickstrasse 8 is a listed apartment building on the street named after the poet and painter Robert Reinick in the Striesen district of Dresden .

The free-standing, three-storey Art Nouveau building was built in 1903. The elaborate decoration and painting is remarkable. Thus figural and floral motifs have been attached to the facade. A central risalit has been placed asymmetrically and shows a high gable as the upper end . Another risalit attached to the side restores a certain symmetry of the street facade, but has been designed much more sparingly.

Through the front door one enters a broad vestibule, which is spanned by a basket-arched barrel vault. The path leads through a gate opening into another vestibule with a relatively flat groin vault, behind which the stairwell is located. The wall and vault are in ocher tones with blue, rust-red and white accents, whereby the transition from floral to geometric Art Nouveau can be recognized in terms of style. Stencil friezes , stucco pilasters and stucco borders characterize the entrance area. In the arch there are picture fields in which barren mountain landscapes with monumental buildings - castles or monasteries - are shown. The pictures were restored as part of the renovation monitored by the monument protection, while the other decorations were mostly reconstructed.
