Architecture and history
A hospital, the Johanneshospital, had been operating on the premises of the institution since 1263. In 1830/31 the merchant Carl August Gottfried Pieschel , to whom the name of the institution goes back, had the current building erected as an orphanage through a bequest . An elongated single-storey building in the classicism style was created . The plastered building rests on a high basement. The orphanage opened in 1831 and was in operation until 1922.
During the GDR era, a school was housed in the house. From 1996 it was partially empty and from 1998 it was completely empty. The German Red Cross then converted it into a senior citizen center with 14 single and 28 double rooms.
