history
The building was built in 1704 at the time of the Dresden Baroque for Oberhofmarschall August Ferdinand Pflug on the site of a former town house. In the demolished house lived among others Paulus Luther, the personal physician of Elector August . The architect of the palace was Johann Rudolph Fäsch .
Field Marshal Jacob Heinrich von Flemming bought the palace in 1714 . He had it expanded and equipped with a magnificent staircase. The courtyard was decorated with arcades, a fountain and an artificial grotto. An attached wing had access to Moritzstrasse.
After the piano virtuoso Louis Marchand withdrew from a planned competition with Johann Sebastian Bach , Bach gave a concert in the Palais in 1717.
In 1724 the palace came into electoral possession, and Flemming acquired it again in 1726. After Elector August the Strong bought the palace again in 1728, he gave it to August Christoph von Wackerbarth . After Wackerbarth's death, Alexander Joseph von Sulkowski became the new owner in 1736. Sulkowski had the palace expanded and rebuilt by Johann Christoph Knöffel . On behalf of the electoral court, which acquired the palace again, Knöffel converted the palace from 1746 to 1747 as a residence for the Saxon princes. After the palace was badly damaged by the Prussian bombardment of Dresden during the Seven Years' War in 1760 , it was demolished and the Landhaus was built in its place from 1770 .
