Reisewitz Garden
The Reisewitzsche Garten was a garden in the Dresden district of Plauen (Dresden) , which existed until the end of the 19th century.
history
In 1692 the Reisewitz Garden was laid out by Elector Johann Georg IV . On the area between Tharandter Straße and Weißeritz , he had a water palace built and the garden designed for his lover Magdalena Sibylla von Neitschütz .
In 1702, the electoral mountain director Johann Wratislaw von Reisewitz acquired the site, which it owned until 1709. The garden got its name from this owner. From 1719 to 1724 the electoral falconry had its seat in the Reisewitzschen garden. Even after a renewed change of ownership, the facility remained a popular destination because of its trees and the romantic arcades on the river bank. While the gardens were open to the majority of the population, Countess Auguste Charlotte von Kielmannsegge lived in the Wasserschlösschen from 1839 onwards . A summer theater existed between 1844 and 1856. There was also the Starckes Garten inn , which was also important as a political meeting place. In the run-up to the bourgeois-democratic revolution , the first large mass event of the Dresden democrats took place here on September 4, 1848.
In 1863 the countess died in her house. Towards the end of the 19th century, the park had to give way in favor of urgently needed houses and factories. A brick factory was built, the Reisewitz brewery in 1869 and the Petzold & Aulhorn chocolate factory in 1897 . The Wasserschlösschen and the falconry were stopped in 1891. The Reisewitz brewery existed until 1931.
In 1873/74, Reisewitzer Strasse, named after the nearby garden, was laid out in Dresden-Plauen , which was renamed Würzburger Strasse in 1904, as there was also a street of this name in the neighboring village of Löbtau, which was then incorporated into Dresden in 1903 Name retained.
