history

→ Main article: Architecture of the 1950s in Eilenburg

None of the buildings in the old development on Rollestrasse survived the Second World War. The listed buildings on Rollestrasse (house numbers 1/2, 3/4 and 23) were erected in the mid-1950s as part of the national construction project . After the end of the GDR, they became the property of the municipal housing and management company (EWV). While the buildings in Rollestrasse 1/2 and 3/4 have been extensively renovated and partly provided with balconies, the building in Rollestrasse 23 has so far only been slightly renovated. The block of flats on Rollestrasse 24/25, which also belonged to the cultural monument, was demolished in the mid-2000s as part of urban redevelopment in the east . A parking lot was created at this point.

architecture

Roller line 1/2

The three-story building on Rollestrasse 1/2 is structurally connected to the local house number 63 as a slightly curved row building along the rolling road and across Leipziger Strasse. However, there is no connection inside. The two entrances with their walls and the staircase above them protrude slightly from the facade up to half a storey height below the eaves . The eaves as well as the window sockets are simply profiled. A small green area is in front of the building; access to the houses with small patches of granite mounted. The building is crowned by a hipped roof.

Roller line 3/4

The freestanding three-storey building Rollestrasse 3/4 has the floor plan of a mirrored L. Here, too, entrance and window sockets are provided with simple profiles. The building, which is rather poor in ornaments, has a protruding window section on four consoles on the ground floor facing the roller road. On the west facade there is a bay window supported by two consoles, which extends over the first and second floors and ends with a cornice just below the roof edge. The house has a hipped roof.

Rollestrasse 23

The building on Rollestrasse 23 is the only building on this street that has a business unit on the ground floor. As the central building in the former inner courtyard of the residential block there was a local supply shop. The three-storey house on a right-angled floor plan has a bay window in a recurring design and design on the north facade. Only the bezels of the two shop windows and the entrance area have a profile. The two slightly protruding shop windows are each supported by two decorative consoles. While the two shop windows end with a segmental arch, the entrance area has a round arched portal with a keystone, which is rare in the ensemble. In addition, the north facade also features profiled cornices between the ground floor and the upper floors as a recurring element, as well as a window cornice on the first floor. A simple hipped roof is placed over the eaves.
