Town hall Mickten
The town hall Mickten existed from 1898 to 1903 as the town hall of the independent municipality Mickten in the north-west of Dresden . The building at what was then Böcklinstraße 17 (address 2018: Scharfenberger Straße 2) was built as a school in 1874, converted into a municipal office in 1898 and only five years later, after Mickten's incorporation into Dresden in 1903, it was converted into a residential building that it still serves today .
history
Mickten was first mentioned as Migtin in 1378, the name is of Slavic origin and can be both a personal name and German settlers. In 1468 the Vorwerk, which had existed since 1421, was sold to the Bishop of Meißen, and after his dissolution the associated corridors were distributed among the local farmers. In 1590 Mickten was the administrative village of Dresden, in 1764 one of the Office of Meißen, since 1843 it was again under the Office of Dresden. As a result of this change, there were two local judges (local court personnel ) until 1836 . With Kleinmickten and Bortzschen there are also two devastations on the Micktener Flur.
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. introduced its own community self-government. In Mickten in 1838 the community board, a community elder and six community committee members were elected. The municipal council remained in this composition until 1875. At that time, a second municipality elder was elected, who was also given police authority for the new settlements being built on Leipziger Strasse. In 1886 the composition of the community council was expanded to include the community council and two community elders to eight community committee members (three from the landowners, three from the cottagers, two from the non-residents ), which was changed again in 1897: the community committee consisted of thirteen instead of eight People.
Until 1806, community assemblies were still common, which began with the call (probably of Slavic origin): Betscherremo (i.e. come together ) and which took place at a stone table under a linden tree in Altmickten. Only after 1839 did these take place regularly in covered rooms, which, however, were no longer sufficient for administration from the 1880s onwards.
However, the community could not decide to build a town hall (neither did the surrounding communities), but chose the model from the neighboring community of Pieschen : They did decide to build a new school and use the school building, which had already become too small, as the town hall use, but only towards the end of the 1890s to implement this idea.
This happened after Übigau left the school association: The new school building from 1898 is today (2018) the 41st elementary school at today's Hauptmannstraße 15 (then: Jahnstraße), the previous school, which was built in 1874, became the municipal office (town hall ) rebuilt. Elements of the old school were retained, such as the increased medium risalit , which carried a clock in the gable triangle, as well as the bell tower placed on the ridge: Externally, the facade in particular was upgraded.
The town hall was located here for only four years, including its meeting room for the local council, in 1903 the independence of the Mickten community expired. Shortly thereafter, the house was rebuilt into a residential building, it survived the subsequent period tolerably, it was only renovated in the 1990s.
Even though some representative facade details are missing today (ledges in the parapet levels, triangular roofing over the risalit window on the first floor, decorative spikes in the two gables ), the plastered construction is still representative. The bell tower placed on the ridge is particularly intended to remind of the former school and town hall use, but this is no longer anchored in the public consciousness.
The house is a listed building.
