building

Gable picture

The building of the Ministry of Finance was built on the Neustädter Elbe bank between the Carolabrücke and Augustusbrücke from 1890 to 1896 in the neo-renaissance style. Before that, the Ministry of Finance was housed in the Fürstenberg house . The representative new building, built according to designs by Otto Wanckel and Ottomar Reichelt , includes several inner courtyards. The Elbe front bears a gable painting made of majolica panels by the painter Anton Dietrich , which shows Saxonia surrounded by the allegorically represented arts and the income of the state. In 1945 during the bombing of Dresden the building was badly damaged, but was rebuilt in the 1950s. From 1985 to 1989 the entrance hall was reconstructed true to the original . Between 1992 and 1994 the building was renovated and restored , the roof being restored to its original form. The district authority of the People's Police and the Engineering School for Geodesy and Cartography had their headquarters here until 1990, and since 1990 it has again housed the Ministry of Finance of the Free State of Saxony.
