Roessler's house

The Roessler House at Platz der Demokratie No. 2/3 in Weimar is a large two-story building built in 1785 based on the Baroque model and provided with a neo-Rococo facade in 1891/92 at an angle of just over 90 degrees to the Princely House of Weimar .

A former wide central balcony was removed around the middle of the 20th century. From 1909 to 1936 the building was owned by the family of the ducal mouth cook Otto Rößler. Next to it was the Fürstenkeller, an old German wine tavern set up in 1901 and managed by Mrs Bertha Rößler, known as "Mother Rößler". From 1938 to 1943 , according to the records of the Thuringian Main State Archive , it was the seat of the Thuringian Ministry of the Interior, Police Department, at what was then Fürstenplatz. Today this is used as the administration building of the Liszt School of Music Weimar . It used to be a residential building before the state of Thuringia took over.

In the course of the Second World War (April 1945) the house was seriously damaged, which, according to the records, was immediately followed by structural security and renovation measures. The title of the file even speaks of "Reconstruction of the former Rößler house (Fürstenkeller)". The Fürstenkeller next to it was in fact totally destroyed in this bomb attack. In 1998, according to Wolfram Huschke (musicologist), the administration building behind the facade from 1891/92 was “virtually rebuilt”. Near the back was the Erbprinz Hotel, which was located between the Fürstenkeller and the Elephant Hotel and was demolished between 1989 and 1993 after being neglected for decades.

This building has been included in the list of cultural monuments in Weimar (individual monuments) .
