The Plauensche place was in the Dresden Seevorstadt on " 26er Ring ". As a result of the massive destruction caused by the air raids on Dresden in 1945 and the changed urban planning concept in the GDR's post-war years , the square was built over and has not been visible since then.
history
Plauensche Platz was created at the intersection of Grosse Plauenschen Gasse (later Chemnitzer Strasse / Grosse Plauensche Strasse ) with the path that led around Seevorstadt on the edge. This route was later expanded to Ammonstrasse and Große Plauensche Strasse as Chemnitzer Strasse (named in 1871) in the direction of Plauen . The Bergstrasse was also connected to the square as a straight connection between Räcknitz and the city center, previously the country road coming from Dippoldiswalde ended a little further east at Dippoldiswalder Schlag .
In 1878 the square was officially named Plauenscher Platz. There was a connection to Dippoldiswalder Platz and the city center via Große Plauensche Straße . The Chemnitzer Straße was connected to the Plauenschen Platz via the Chemnitzer Brücke , the Bergstraße via the Bergstraßenbrücke . The Bergstrasse Bridge was replaced by the Hohe Brücke during the construction of the main station until 1894 . The connection between Plauenschem Platz and Hoher Brücke was named Kohlschütterstraße in 1894 after the theologian Ernst Volkmar Kohlschütter (1812–1889).
During the air raids on Dresden in 1945, the buildings on Plauenschen Platz were destroyed and not rebuilt. In the 1960s, both the Chemnitz Bridge and the Hohe Brücke were demolished and replaced by Budapester Straße and the road bridge of the same name as a new connection from Plauen to the city center. Thus the Grosse Plauensche Strasse lost its importance for traffic. Instead of Plauen Square, a generously dimensioned traffic junction was created between Budapester Straße and Ammonstraße with ramps, a new track for the tram and parking areas for buses.
Development
In particular, the north side of Plauenscher Platz was built on between Ammonstrasse and Großer Plauenscher Strasse with representative five-story residential and commercial buildings. The building complex consisting of Ammonstrasse 18, Plauenscher Platz 3 and Großer Plauenscher Strasse 38 was designed symmetrically towards the square, No. 3 had a tower placed in the middle and was, among other things, the branch of the German life insurance company Arminia.
The “Meißner Hof” restaurant, managed by Max Henke, was located in the four-story building at Plauenschen Platz 1 between Kohlschütterstrasse and Ammonstrasse. The K. Picking glass factory was also located at Plauenscher Platz 1. The four-story residential building at Plauenscher Platz 2 was located between Chemnitzer Straße and Ammonstraße, behind which was the Dresden deaf-mute institution and a school. To the south, the house at Kohlschütterstrasse 2 bordered Plauenschen Platz. Among other things, Oswald Ludewig's “Schankwirtschaft Westend” was located there.
traffic
Plauensche Platz was a junction in the Dresden tram network . In 1872 the first horse-drawn tram was opened across Plauenschen Platz. The Conti line ran from Blasewitz via Ammonstrasse, Plauenschen Platz and Chemnitzer Strasse to Plauen. A second horse-drawn tram from Dippoldiswalder Platz across Grosse Plauensche Strasse, Plauenschen Platz, Bergstrasse and Hohe Brücke began operations in 1890. The tram route over the Chemnitz Bridge was initially operated in 1880 in favor of the route over Ammonstraße and Falkenbrücke and closed in 1900. In 1899 the line was electrified over the Hohe Brücke.
In mid-1928, the following lines ran across the square (see also Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe ):
| No. | End point | Means of transport | Route | End point |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4th | Pfotenhauer Strasse | tram | Fürstenstraße - Fürstenplatz - Nicolaistraße - Canalettostraße - Stübelplatz - Lennéstraße - Gellertstraße - Wiener Straße - Central Station - Carolastraße - Plauenscher Platz - Ammonstraße - Könneritzstraße | Wettin train station |
| 6th | Wild man | tram | Trachenberger Platz - Riesaer Platz - Großenhainer Platz - Neustädter Bahnhof - Marienbrücke - Ostraallee - Postplatz - Dippoldiswalder Platz - Plauenscher Platz - Hohe Brücke - Bergstrasse - Reichsplatz | Räcknitz |
| 10 | Übigau | tram | Mickten - Erfurter Platz - Marienbrücke - Ostraallee - Postplatz - Falkenstraße - Plauenscher Platz - Central Station - Wiener Straße - Lennéplatz - Stübelplatz - Stephanienplatz - Fürstenplatz- Pohlandplatz | Gruna |

In mid-1933, when the regular service to Räcknitz was discontinued, the section between Dippoldiswalder Platz and Hoher Brücke over Plauenschen Platz, which was no longer used as a regular route, was downgraded to an operational route. The destruction of the 13th-15th centuries February 1945 led to the final shutdown of the tracks that were still kept as an operating line, the rails were expanded in the course of the rubble clearing in the 1940s and, where applicable, used to repair track damage in the remaining network. However, Plauensche Platz remained connected to the tram network along Ammonstraße.
