Town hall Kaditz
The Kaditz town hall was the municipal office of Kaditz , which was located at 8 Riegelplatz. Although the municipality was considering building a town hall, only the rear building of the future town hall with administrative rooms and a meeting room for the town council was built until the incorporation of Kaditz in 1903: the originally intended town hall of Kaditz was never built.
In the early 2000s, the city of Dresden sold this back building, which is still a residential building after the renovation. The area provided for the town hall, the corner plot of Riegelplatz / Grimmstraße, is used by a used car dealer as a parking space and open space.
History and use
Kaditz was first mentioned in a document as Kayticz in 1269 and was laid out as a street green village with a corridor between what is now Altkaditz and Riegelplatz. Until its incorporation, the place was subordinate to the Dresden Office (which later became the Dresden Administrative Authority ). Until the end of the 18th century, the Leipziger Chaussee led close to the village to Serkowitz . The industrialization in Kaditz led to the construction of what is now Neukaditz . This district was built on today's Rankestrasse after 1875 and consisted of workers' houses. The population jumped from 1619 in 1890 to 3780 in 1900. During this time, blocks of houses were built on Riegelplatz, which were to become part of a planned but only partially implemented perimeter block development .
In 1839, on the basis of the Saxon rural community order of 1838, Kaditz introduced community leaders and community committees, i.e. its own community administration, for the first time. As was customary at the time, this was initially mainly housed in the rooms of the respective municipal council; the municipal council meetings took place in the Kaditz inn from around 1890 onwards .
New building discussion
The discussion about a municipal office or town hall led to a unique situation in Kaditz: On the one hand, the municipal council decided in 1895 that the building of the previous municipal office in Albertstr. 40 c to be demolished, where the community council Friedrich Findeisen and nine other community employees handled the ever-growing administrative tasks. On the other hand, the local council of Findeisen was a strict opponent of a new town hall, as he, according to his own admission, saw that "... anyway, the incorporation of Kaditz into the royal seat of Dresden would only be a matter of time ...", therefore a new town hall, as it looked at that time Pieschen or Cotta was known, from his point of view appeared superfluous for the community in the situation.
However, since the demolition of the old municipal office had already been decided, the municipality decided in a compromise that was probably unique for the surrounding municipalities of Dresden, to build a rear building of the future town hall for the municipal employees, for which adjacent land was purchased, which took place in December 1896 the actual town hall, however, to be postponed.
The builder Carl Käfer from Radebeul was commissioned in 1898 to plan this rear building with the addition of a shed for the fire brigade , and this was approved in the same year. In the basement there was a detention cell, on the ground floor there were rooms for setting up the syringe, the sickroom and open-air bank sales, and on the upper floor there were service rooms and the meeting room for the municipal council. A later request for police rooms to be set up on the first floor was followed.
The application made in 1901 for the construction of the actual town hall in the front part of the property was finally rejected by the local council "... with regard to the pending incorporation negotiations ...". On March 25, 1901, the municipal administration was relocated to the newly built (rear) building, and in the same year the old municipal office (of which no image is known to date) was demolished.
The property to this day
The actual town hall for this rear building was never built, the property was open space for decades. The property provided for this is now used by a used car dealer as open space and exhibition space.
The subsequent uses of the back building were, in turn, the registry office, cash desk, in 1913 (now: Simsonplatz 8) an additional branch of the welfare police station, after 1945 residential building, last for a family. After the renovation in 2000, it will continue to be used as a single-family dwelling.
