description

The former inn, which is a listed building along with its annex, is a two-story old vineyard house. The plastered building stands on the eaves facing the street, the windows on the upper floor are framed by folding shutters. On top sits a gabled roof with a beaver tail - crown cover .

To the west, i.e. on the right from the street, adjoins the street a single-storey outbuilding, also with a tiled gable roof. There is a segmental arched entrance to the street with a wooden gate.

The entrance gate is to the left of the main house between two sandstone pillars.

As recently as 2007, when the Radebeul monument topography was drawn up, there was an elongated, wood-clad restaurant building with a flat roof below the road structures, offset by 80 degrees. Towards the garden, above the steep slope, there was a polygonal head building with a ribbon of windows. On top of this was a broken copper helmet, originally also covered with brick.

history

In the possession of the Dresden merchant Gerber since 1787, who built a vineyard house on his vineyard for summer stays; this was built before or around 1800. In 1831 the property belonged to J. Dav. Gotze, the K. Chst. Haase followed. The Weinberghaus was opened as a mountain inn in 1878 with a concession to serve beer; this could be extended to the bar in the following year. Since the owner himself was also an active singer, his singing height was particularly popular with choral societies in the 19th century . In April 1893 Ernst Heinrich Haase was granted the license to run a full pub.

The entrance decoration shown on the old postcard probably dates from 1908, attached on the occasion of the Saxon Elbgau Singers Festival. It concerns the text and the notes of the singing speech of the Dresden male vocal composer and Kreuzkantor Ernst Julius Otto . In 1912 Kurt Alfred Haase followed his father as an innkeeper. His liquor license was extended to two guest rooms in the side building in 1913.

Emil Zitzschmann from Döbeln bought the property in 1915; he received the liquor license in April 1916. In 1920 the singer's height went to Karl Ryhsel (Carl Ryssel). In 1926 or 1927/28 he had an inn with a pavilion built on the sloping property; The contractor was Adolf Menzel's construction company from Lindenau .

Around 1925 the artist Paul Wilhelm painted the Loessnitz including the singer's height.

Ryhsel died in October 1933. As Ryssel's heir, his widow Thekla continued to run the restaurant until 1942, when his son Reinhold Ryssel followed in June. However, this was drafted for military service, so that the restaurant remained closed until 1945.

From June to September 1945, when the owner returned from captivity, Eugen Kugael and the former actress Hanni Weisse leased the restaurant.

On June 1, 1946 Reinhold Ryssel reopened the Sängerhöhe and ran the business until August 1, 1976, when the Sängerhöhe had to be closed due to illness and age of the innkeeper couple.

Today the premises are used for residential purposes. The wooden restaurant building in the garden has been lost since around 2012.
