history
General
Leubnitz goes back to the 13th century, conceptually comes from the Old Sorbian "Lubanicz", and has belonged as a monastery property to the Altzella monastery near Nossen since 1288 . The estate was secularized by Elector Moritz in 1550 and subordinated to the city of Dresden.
Neu-Ostra was created as a village (actually as the Vorwerk of Leubnitz) for eleven farming families from Ostra. These farms were located to the west of Dresden and were closed in order to be able to create the eastern enclosure and a fortress. The farmers and their local judge Georg Fehrmann built new farmsteads on today's Neuostra road with the support of the elector. After the resettlement was completed on April 10, 1569, this place was declared an independent village.
From an administrative point of view , Neu-Ostra was historically an administrative village and was subordinate to the Dresden office , from which the Dresden administrative authority later emerged. Leubnitz, on the other hand, was a Dresden council village , which was administered by the Dresden council as an independent "Leubnitzer Amt".
Both villages introduced community leaders and community committees for the first time in 1839 on the basis of the Saxon rural community order of 1838 , i.e. each with its own community administration. As was customary at the time, this was initially mainly housed in the rooms of the respective community council. The unification on June 1, 1898 to form the dual location “Leubnitz-Neuostra” was ultimately the reason for the construction of an independent municipal office , the construction of which the municipal council decided in 1900.
Construction and use
The local council finally selected the community-owned property on Teichplatz (today: Klosterteichplatz) for the construction of the town hall, where the now drained monastery pond was located. In 1903 five offers were obtained, with the one selected by master builder Wilhelm Pinkau from Leubnitz-Neuostra. From the point of view of the municipal council, it had the best room layout and architecture.
The award to him took place at the council meeting on September 22, 1903 with the condition that the shell had to be completed within eight weeks, which Pinkau also succeeded in doing: after the laying of the foundation stone on September 30, the topping-out ceremony could already be celebrated on November 7, 1903. On June 26, 1904, the new municipal office was inaugurated.
Until it was incorporated on April 1, 1921, the house was used as a "community office" on the ground floor with tax collection, community coffers, registration office, waterworks and savings bank, health and disability insurance, community board and consultation room and the archive. The large and richly decorated meeting room and apartments were on the first floor. The second floor also contained service apartments.
After the incorporation in 1921, the building became the property of the Stadtsparkasse Dresden: The building itself was reasonably preserved during the GDR era. Leubnitz-Neuostra was also not affected by the air raids on Dresden in 1945, and there was no damage as a result.
Due to permanent changes, especially after 1945, it was not possible during the renovation in the 1990s (until 1998) to come close enough to the old state, so the building is not a listed building. Nevertheless, some elements of the old municipal office, the cubature of which corresponds to the original building even after the renovation, have been preserved: the sandstone plinth, the size of the window openings with their sandstone walls, the two gables above the entrance and on the south side with their moving shapes, the entrance portal with its columns and the balcony above in a simplified form, the two cornices above the ground floor and the first floor and some sandstone decorative elements above the windows.
