Lockwitz Town Hall
The Lockwitz Town Hall , correctly the Lockwitz Municipal Office , existed from 1919 to 1930 as the town hall of the independent Lockwitz municipality in the southeast of Dresden . The building with the address Am Plan 1 was built in 1880 as a residential building and after the First World War it was rebuilt as a municipal office and savings bank and partially dismantled as a residential building by the savings bank in 1930, although it was still used by the savings bank, which renovated and renovated the building in 1993 moved the main entrance to the street side.
history
First municipal office (until 1919)
Lockwitz was first mentioned in 1288 as Lucawitz . The name is derived from the Sorbian "Lucavica" and means "place on the meadow stream". It was a Platzgruppendorf with two settlement cores, which were initially differentiated as Kleinlockwitz and Großlockwitz, later became naturalized for the settlement cores "Niederlockwitz" (today's "Altlockwitz") and "Oberlockwitz" ("Am Galgenberg").
The castle and manor date from the Middle Ages, the manor was often owned by rich Dresden families. A special feature of the manor itself was not only the “lower jurisdiction” but also the “upper jurisdiction”, i.e. H. it could also impose punishments on life and limb.
The economy of the place was characterized by flour and bread trade, in 1723 there are four mills on the Lockwitzbach . In the 19th century the heyday of semi-industrial mill processing began with the first heyday of the place and the change to a bourgeois place; In 1893 Emil Donath from Laubegast finally founded the first fruit cider press in Saxony.
For the Saxon rural community order of 1838 , which came into force on May 1, 1839, community leaders and community elders as well as other community committee persons, i.e. H. its own municipality self-government introduced and elected in 1838.
The exact date of origin of a local authority office is not known. Its necessity was also connected with the fact that from 1834 until shortly after 1890 the population of Lockwitz doubled. It was set up in the Altlockwitz 33 building, which was built around 1700, together with the local savings bank, where it remained until the end of 1919 (or until the 1920s according to the owner in 2013).
After that, the building was a four-family house and was empty after the last family moved out. The renovation began in 2009 by a private individual for his own use and for his family, and in 2013 it was largely completed. The building is a historical monument.
Second municipal office (1919–1930)
The building of the 2nd municipal office, the building that is referred to here as the Lockwitz Town Hall , was built in 1880 with an unknown use and was probably only converted into a municipal office with a local savings bank after the First World War ; the municipality itself was only a tenant until it was incorporated into Dresden 1930: It is definitely verifiable as a municipal office from 1919, when the municipal office stop of the Lockwitztalbahn was established immediately before it (in 1930, after the incorporation, the stop was renamed Am Plan and is still part of the public transport network in Dresden). The building itself was privately owned at least until the end of the Second World War .
The local savings bank, then the Stadtsparkasse Dresden and now the Ostsächsische Sparkasse Dresden operated and still operates a branch there today. Before and after the incorporation, a government agency, a branch of the 29th welfare police station, was housed here. In GDR times it was a residential building, unless it was used as a branch.
Construction and use
Buildings like this one were built by the hundreds in the Dresden suburbs after 1870/71: A strictly axially symmetrical facade with a representative balcony on the street side, on the back the staircase, which was crowned by a turret. Applications of the neo-renaissance on the facade raise it only slightly from other buildings, on the side (north side to the square Am Plan ) the inscription municipal office was attached.
In the late 1950s, the branch of the Sparkasse was rebuilt, instead of the inscription Municipal Office , the three-dimensional address Stadtsparkasse Dresden was attached, which was retained after the renovation in its typical lettering from the 1950s and is now a special feature of this building.
With the renovation in 1993 of a now completely dilapidated building (a photo from 1991 see web links), the martial-looking grating was removed and the main entrance previously located on the back of the building was replaced by a stair landing to the new main entrance on the central risalit on the front of the building. The structure of the room, which had been preserved until then, was also redesigned.
