Plauen ( Slavic Plawe , means Flößort or Schwemmort) is a district in the southwest of Dresden and namesake of the Dresden district of the same name , which includes other districts.

Plauen borders on the districts of Löbtau , Dölzschen , Coschütz , Kleinpestitz , Räcknitz and Südvorstadt .

history

Bienert monument

Plauen emerged as a village at the exit of the Weißeritz breakthrough valley , the Plauen reason , before the 13th century. It was first mentioned - in the same document as Dresden - on March 31, 1206 as Plawen . The name Plawen (Slavic as a noun: Plawe ) comes from the old Slavic plawa = flooding and means something like alluvium , Flößort , but also flood plain . The nearby Weißeritz favored the construction of several grinding and cutting mills .

The mysterious Countess Auguste Charlotte von Kielmannsegge , allegedly a spy of Napoleon, lived on the Weißeritz . The countess was also known as a painter and maintained close relationships with the Dresden academy professor Josef Grassi .

The then still independent place experienced a heyday at the time of industrialization , when the master miller Gottlieb Traugott Bienert settled and converted the old court mill into a large-scale industrial mill. It not only brought an economic upswing, but also a social one through the establishment of schools and kindergartens. In the middle of the 19th century, the Albertsbahn AG line was built in the direction of Tharandt and Freiberg and Plauen received a train station. The numerous industrial buildings, the closed Wilhelminian style and the residential streets displaced the village development of Plauen.

On January 1, 1903, Plauen was incorporated into Dresden. After the dissolution of the city districts, Plauen belonged to the local office area Südvorstadt, which was named Ortsamt Plauen in 1996 after the relocation of the official seat from the administrative building Fritz-Foerster-Platz 2 to the town hall Plauen (since 2018: city ​​district Plauen ).

expansion

Weißeritz in Plauen

The old corridor of Plauen, which almost coincides both in its former soft appearance and in its current district boundaries , was for centuries characterized purely rural-agricultural. Over the centuries, due to the offset in height of the longitudinal slope along the Weißeritz, it was clear between a lower village on Wassergasse (today: Hofmühlenstraße) and an upper village in the area of ​​the village pond that was filled in in 1875 (today Chemnitzer Platz and the area of ​​the Altplauen street between Chemnitzer Platz and Reckestrasse) to the church of Plauen , whereby the upper village was the older part of Plauen.

With the industrialization , especially with the expansion of the Hofmühle by Traugott Bienert, the reshaping of the old village began on the one hand, and, due to the increasing demand for labor, the development of this agriculturally used area began. From the end of the 19th century, but above all in the first decades of the 20th century, the old village corridor was initially expanded from the core of the upper village towards the east by the Dresdner Westend corporation and, from around the First World War, the southern slope of the Dresden Elbe valley widening to the north almost completely developed and built on. While in the "Westend" (the area characterized by historicist development) a large number of town houses and villas that did not fall victim to the bombing in 1945 , including the Villa Grübler , Villa Hohe Straße 139 , rental villa Halbkreisstraße 12 and Villa Westendstraße 21 , The part of Hohenplauen , which was mainly built after 1920, is characterized by cooperative residential buildings and semi-detached houses in the style of the late twenties and early thirties. The twin residential building Coschützer Straße 54/56 and its structural twin exactly opposite on the other side of the street, which were built in Hohenplauen at a much earlier point in time, are remarkable .

The road network Plauens is, therefore, a portion influenced by the past residues of the village Plauen, while on the other hand, in particular by the founder time grid has all evidence scheduled plant. Due to the hillside location, there are sometimes steep climbs (Bernhardstraße) and interesting gradients (semicircular road) . A tram line was built along the Plauen ring to develop Coschütz, which still exists today in the course of its upper part.

With the incorporation of Plauen into Dresden, one year after the contract came into force, the street names were also adapted in order to avoid double names in the city. The table gives a complete list of the renaming as of January 1, 1904 (with the year of the original name of the street). Before 1865 a street naming was generally not necessary due to the size of the village at that time, in this year the first complete house numbering was carried out. Further renaming took place after 1904. For the sake of completeness, they have been included as a supplement as of 2011.

The Fichtepark , which was inaugurated as Westendpark on September 26, 1891, is in an exposed location . The land was made available free of charge by the construction company Dresdner Westend . A lookout tower was inaugurated in it on September 2, 1896, Sedan Day, which was given the name of Chancellor Bismarck when it was named at the same time. In 1937 the Westendpark was renamed Johann Gottlieb Fichtepark after the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte . The lookout tower, whose real name had since been completely forgotten, was renamed in 1954 - also after the philosopher - the spruce tower . From this one overlooks a large part of Dresden.

The functional district center is the F.-C.-Weiskopf-Platz with the Müllerbrunnen , where, in addition to shops and restaurants, there is also the listed Plauen town hall , which is now home to a savings bank branch and the Plauen district office.

In the area of Zwickauer Straße , an inner-city redevelopment zone was launched in the 1990s and, after the flooding of the Weißeritz in 2002 , in which the old village center of Plauen, the Hofmühlenstraße and the Weißeritz bridges were badly damaged, a district development project was launched, which resulted in the redevelopment was supported by residential and commercial premises.

Industry

This chapter deals historically with the mills, the Reiche factories, swords, Körber, and the work of the Taubert families. Today, Dr. Doerr and as one of the largest employers MSD (Herrenknecht) the industry. In addition, the service industry is shaping the community, which is increasingly being developed as a residential area, with former commercial properties being rededicated as residential properties. The former Falkenbrauerei is the seat of the DIU, an institution of the TU Dresden.

schools

Middle Ages and early modern times

The school system in Plauen was first mentioned in 1557. From the increase in the salary of the sexton at the time, it is possible for the first time to conclude that the Plauen children had a certain level of schooling. That would also correspond to the philosophy and the “general articles” published in 1556 by the then ruling elector August . Due to the close connection between school and church at that time, which had been reinforced and strengthened by the Reformation a few years earlier, the beginning of the school system in Plauen can be established in connection with the first Saxon school regulations of 1580. However, the teacher was at the same time curator and assistant pastor, had funeral sermons and weddings, and acted as scribe. In order to earn a living and to support their families, they usually had to pursue a trade.

The first and at the same time oldest schoolhouse that Plauen owned (first verifiable in 1578, rebuilt several times, last expanded in 1857 and demolished in 1905), was also the home of the custodian or the later teacher. An assistant teacher was granted this from 1849. It stood where the magnificent staircase to the Church of the Resurrection in Altplauen is located right next to Schleiermacherstraße, which was built in 1907 by Hans Erlwein . The school room and living room were one at that time. How miserable the condition was over decades is shown by the constant complaints of the respective teachers about it.

The following can be proven as teachers:

  • Gallus Waldeck, mentioned as the first schoolmaster in 1578,
  • Matthes Hanitzsch, mentioned in the visitation files 1583 and 1602,
  • Christian Leunert, 1626–1650 as a teacher,
  • Abraham Weida (1618–1691), 1650–1691 as a teacher
  • Georg Kretschmar (? –1728), 1688 as assistant, 1691–1728 as teacher,
  • Johann Jacob Gleditzsch [Gleditsch] (? –1760), 1728–1760 as teacher and organist,
  • Christian Gottlieb Kleinstück (? –1797), 1760–1797 as a teacher,
  • Gottlieb Fürchtegott Opitz (? –1814), 1797–1814 as a teacher,
  • Johann Christian Grütze (also written Grützner ; * March 12, 1790 in Oberebersbach near Großenhain; † 1872), 1814–1856, retired on his 50th anniversary "because of blindness".
  • Friedrich Wilhelm Jentzsch (? –1881), 1849–1856 assistant teacher, 1856–1881 as teacher.

Today it appears to be an almost archaic state in which Plauen's school system was still in the 18th century: a groom got more money as an annual salary than the teacher. The teacher had to collect the school fees and the natural goods to which he was entitled as a “debt” week after week from the farmers himself. For almost 300 years, the village of Cunnersdorf , today part of the community of Bannewitz , with which there was a dispute over cost sharing for decades , belonged to the Plauen school district . Overall, according to Paul Dittrich in his Plauen story, school history is “such a pathetic chapter in the history of the community”.

Schools from the first Saxon School Act 1835

In 1769 compulsory schooling was introduced. In 1835, the first modern Saxon school law was passed, which obliged the communities to maintain schools and school attendance was now monitored by the state. 80 children went to school, Plauen had 475 inhabitants - a single classroom and the now almost 300-year-old school still had to suffice for this.

With the increase in the number of inhabitants and the increasing prosperity of the community resulting from industrialization, it was finally possible to put an end to the centuries-old, unreasonable conditions of the Plauen school system from 1870 onwards, not least due to the increasing influence of industry. Not only that, in 1871, Bienert made the enormous sum of 1000 thalers (around 22,000 EUR today) available for these purposes and the circumstances for the purchase of teaching aids and books. It was his concern to build an exemplary school system together with the community of Plauen. Bienert had at least one good reason for this: his company needed trained specialists.

As a first and long overdue step in the reorganization of the school system, the old school was initially expanded in 1873, beginning with the newly enacted elementary school law, although this proved to be difficult with the old school building, and more rooms were rented until finally the new "middle school" Volksschule “on what was then Luther- and now Schleiermacherstraße 7 (branch of the Dresden-Plauen grammar school until 2015 , demolished in 2016) and the old schoolhouse was abandoned and converted into a public library - the first in a Saxon village.

The new middle elementary school was built in 1875/1876 by the master builder Fichtner with a central building and two side wings, 8 classrooms, apartments for the director, three teachers and the caretaker at a construction cost of over 115,000 Reichsmarks; Ernst Oskar Wilsdorf (1846–1907 ). In 1882 it was given an elementary school garden, and in 1886 the non-profit association of Plauen built a public kitchen in it. In 1891 a cooking school was set up, and in 1892 manual skills lessons were introduced. In 1892, 1893 and 1895 extensions were necessary, in 1895 their gymnasium, the second in Plauen, was built (destroyed in 1945). This school building was finally removed in 2016.

Due to the growth of the middle elementary school, a second schoolhouse for boys was built in 1897 (chronologically the third new school building on Plauener Flur, meanwhile the higher elementary school had been built), which is used today by the 39th elementary school.

On the basis of the elementary school law of 1873, the establishment of a higher elementary school was considered, the forerunner of which, however, began as a private school in 1875. At Easter 1882, at the same time as the transition of the school system (right to fill teaching positions) from the state to the municipalities, this "higher elementary school" began teaching with 61 children, four classes and three teachers in rented rooms on today's Bienertstrasse 20, a house that after 1945 it increasingly fell into disrepair and was finally demolished in the 1960s with the construction of a block of flats - today there is a playground on the area.

Just two years later, in 1884, 130 students were able to move into the new school building of the secondary elementary school on Räcknitzer (today: Nöthnitzer) Street. Here, too, Theodor Bienert was one of the founders: on the one hand, he donated the land from his property free of charge, on the other hand, the Bienert foundations made teaching aids available as in 1882. A year later, in 1885, Plauen's first gymnasium was built on their school premises, in which the new fire brigade of the village of Plauen also carried out their exercises; it lasted until its destruction in 1945. The school building of today's 55th secondary school is therefore the oldest school building in the former village of Plauen that still exists today.

Church and cemeteries

Ludwig Richter : Potato Fire (pen drawing, 1847). The drawing shows a view of the church of Plauen from the south, on the right the Schmidtsche Gut, which was demolished during the cemetery expansion and the construction of the community center in 1912/1913.

There is evidence of a chapel or church in Plauen since around 1300. The church, which is always in the same place, was rebuilt in a total of six construction periods until it was given its present-day form in the Renaissance style during the last major renovation in 1900–1902 . This architecturally interesting Church of the Resurrection is located not far from the town hall and belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony.

Directly above the church is the small Inner Plauen cemetery on Krausestrasse. Among other things, you will find Bienert's tomb here. The much larger Outer Plauensche Friedhof is located at the southern end of Bernhardstraße on the border with Coschütz, right next to the Coschützer Friedhof.

The Catholic Church of St. Paul , built from 1923 and consecrated on December 6, 1925, is part of Dresden-Plauen, but is located near the boundary in Dresden's southern suburb on Bernhardstrasse.

Excursion destinations

Above the Plauen reason is the Obere Bienertpark , the largest of a total of four Bienertparks with the Hoher Stein natural monument . Here is a restored lookout tower that offers a view of Freital and the Felsenkellerbrauerei .

The Museum Hofmühle Dresden is located at the Dresden-Plauen stop . It is located in an old Bienertmühle building , owned by Gottlieb Traugott Bienerts, which made Plauen famous in its time.

traffic

Dresden-Plauen stop

Dresden-Plauen can be reached by the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe with the bus lines 62, 63 and 85. The tram line 3 runs from center on the Münchnerstraße after Coschuetz , but this rather on the edge of the so-called Westend district. Of the three tram routes that used to go directly into the town center, none are left today, although there are plans to reopen at least one of them.

The S-Bahn station Dresden-Plauen is on the Dresden – Werdau railway line and offers travel options to the main station and Tharandt with the S3 line . In addition, a regional train runs via Chemnitz to Zwickau .

The closest motorway junction is Dresden-Südvorstadt on the A 17 , accessible via Bergstrasse ( B 170 ).

Personalities

The list contains both personalities who were born in Plauen or Dresden-Plauen and personalities who lived in Plauen (Dresden-Plauen). To distinguish it from the city of Plauen in the Vogtland , Dresden-Plauen was always given, regardless of the time , also for the time before the incorporation into Dresden.
