City Hall Stetzsch
The Stetzsch town hall existed from 1903 to 1921 as a municipal office of the independent municipality of Stetzsch in the west of Dresden . The building on Schulstraße (address 2018: Am Urnenfeld 23) was built in 1902/1903. After Stetzsch was incorporated into Dresden in 1921, the administrative rooms of the community and registry offices were converted into apartments. The building was preserved and was renovated in the 1990s. Only the gable on the street side still reminds of the former use.
History and use
The area around what is now the Stetzsch district was settled in prehistory and early history and is one of the oldest settlement areas in the Dresden Elbe Valley . Stetzsch itself was first mentioned in 1260 and has been an official village since 1559. H. no landlord liable for taxes. With the construction of the railway line to Berlin in 1875, Stetzsch received a railway connection and the population increased rapidly. In 1839, on the basis of the Saxon rural community code of 1838, Stetzsch 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 housed primarily in the rooms of the respective community council; the community council meetings took place in an inn from around 1890.
During the discussion about a municipal office that had become necessary, the municipal council decided to build a mixed residential and administrative building with the municipal office and the registry office on the ground floor. Apartments were planned for the first floor and the mansard floor. The architecture does not differ from that of the “ coffee mills ” built by the hundreds in the urbanized residential areas , only the central axis facing the street, the volute and the richly decorated window frames in the neo-renaissance style on the ground floor made the building stand out. The massive sandstone blocks in the corners of the building are also special.
In 1921 Stetzsch was incorporated into Dresden and the administration rooms were converted into apartments. The building is a listed building, the windows on the ground floor were enlarged during the renovation and the sheet metal cladding of the external blinds is missing, otherwise the building has remained unchanged.
