geography

The southern suburb is in the Gottleuba valley , the bottom of which is about 400 meters wide. The Gottleuba flows there on the orographically left edge of the valley, the southern suburb is on its right bank and extends more than two kilometers in a north-south direction. The Kohlberg rises to the west of the southern suburbs, while the wooded Viehleite runs along the eastern slope. Neighboring districts are the old Obertorvorstadt in the north, behind the Kohlberg Zehista in the west and on the plateau in the northeast Sonnenstein . Also on the plateau are Krietzschwitz in the east and the Struppener district of Ebenheit in the northeast. Neighboring to the southwest is the Dohma district of Goes .
The Südvorstadt is not a suburb in the strict sense of the word. It is located far from the old town and is only partially part of the inner city of Pirnas. The northern part belongs to the Pirna district . There are numerous former barracks , which today serve various purposes or are empty. The GDR Museum Pirna is housed in one of these barracks . Further out of town, the Evangelical School Center Pirna uses one of the barracks buildings. In addition, the Geibeltbad Pirna is located in the northern part of the southern suburb . The southern part from Albrecht-Dürer-Straße belongs to the Rottwerndorf district . It is a residential area, the buildings of which are largely owned by the United Gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau-Genossenschaft (VGWG) Pirna-Süd and the Housing Association Pirna (WGP). There is also the so-called musicians' quarter. It got its colloquial name because almost all the streets there have been named after composers, including Schubert , Bach , Beethoven , Mozart and Haydn . At the southern end of the district is the sports field of 1. FC Pirna, formerly SV Pirna-Süd. Neighboring to the southeast is the Rottwerndorfer town center Altrottwerndorf.
The most important street in the district is Rottwerndorfer Straße, which, as state road 174 in Gottleubatal, connects to the city center and Neundorf . Several RVSOE bus lines operate along this route and serve five stops in the district. The plan is to bridge the valley in the southern suburb area. The federal highway 172n is to run over the Gottleubatalbrücke as the southern ring road around Pirna.
history
Höllengut and fulling mill

One of the first buildings in the area of what will later be the southern suburb is the former Hölle suburb . A place "In der Hell" was first mentioned in 1592/93. The basic rule practiced in the 18th century rata Office and Council of Pirna and the manor of Zehista. In the 19th century, the individual property belonged to the city of Pirna and was incorporated into their corridor. In 1875 the estate had five residents. It is located immediately south of the Geibeltbad.

In addition, the fulling mill, which was first mentioned in a document in 1473, existed immediately north of today's Geibeltbad . In 1481 she was mentioned as “meister moele der tuchmechir” (“master mill of cloth makers”). During the siege of the Sonnenstein fortress by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years War , the mill was destroyed. The years after the reconstruction were marked by rapid changes of ownership. Between 1646 and 1721 the fulling mill changed hands 13 times. In the 18th century the number of draperies residing in Pirna was reduced to four people who could no longer ensure the operation of the mill, so that the property was sold to private ownership on January 27, 1775 after about 300 years of drapery. Between 1824 and 1827 the mill owner Karl Gottlieb Häse carried out unsuccessful mining attempts on hard coal not far from his mill on the Kohlberg. In 1887 the city of Pirna acquired the mill and the Höllengut in order to build barracks in the surrounding corridor. The mill was last used for residential purposes and demolished in 2008 as part of the urban redevelopment east . In 2011, the new construction of the “Naseweis” daycare center (formerly on Mozartstrasse in the southern suburbs) was put into operation on the dismantled area.
Barracks area

After the Wars of Liberation, the Pirna garrison consisted of various sections of the Royal Saxon Guard Regiment. This was from 1878 by the "2. Field Artillery Regiment No. 28 “(FAR 28) replaced. By 1889 the entire regiment with over 900 soldiers and over 500 service horses was stationed in Pirna. FAR 28 soldiers, horses and equipment were housed in various urban and private mass quarters throughout the city; The conditions in the quarters were inadequate from the start and led to the planning of a closed barracks area. The city of Pirna took over the planning and construction, which hoped it would gain a better reputation as the seat of a garrison and administrative authority. That is why the city of Pirna acquired the fulling mill including the Höllengut in 1887 in order to build barracks on the surrounding mill floor. Along the Rottwerndorfer Strasse, in the immediate vicinity of the fulling mill in sandstone construction, the “gray barracks” was built as accommodation for the FAR 28. The construction costs amounted to approx. 770,000 marks.
The troop reinforcement of the FAR 28 at the Pirna site that took place until 1889 could not be fully accommodated in the "gray barracks", again mass quarters in the city area had to be used to accommodate soldiers and equipment. That is why the “gray barracks” was expanded between 1898 and 1902.
Since 1901 Pirna was also the garrison location of the “5. Field Artillery Regiment No. 64 “(FAR 64). This increased the garrison's demands for space and accommodation. Between 1901 and 1906 the barracks area was therefore extended to the south by the “Red Barracks” for the FAR 64. The name of the "Red Barracks" is derived from the red clinker bricks used . The barracks complex that was built along Rottwerndorfer Straße covered a total area of around 1200 × 200 meters. It extended south to the corridor boundary of Rottwerndorf .
The FAR 28 was relocated to Bautzen in 1913, instead the 1st Pioneer Battalion No. 12 was relocated from Dresden to Pirna.
After the First World War , the Pirna garrison was dissolved in accordance with the provisions of the Versailles Peace Treaty . To alleviate the housing shortage prevailing at the time, 190 apartments were set up in the main buildings of the barracks, and ancillary buildings were also used as storage rooms. In the course of arming the Wehrmacht , a garrison was again created in Pirna. For this purpose, the army administration ordered the evacuation of the apartments in the barracks as early as 1934. The Engineer Battalion No. 13 entered Pirna on October 3, 1935.
At the end of the Second World War , the barracks were occupied by the Red Army and used as a prisoner of war camp until September 1945. Later, until at least 1947, the barracks served as an interim storage facility for displaced persons from the former eastern regions of the German Reich .
With the establishment of the NVA , parts of the barracks in the southern suburb were again used for military purposes. Since 1956 the Pioneer Battalion 7 (PiB-7) "Arthur Thiermann" and since 1961 the Battalion Chemical Defense 7 (BChA-7) "Johann Eggert" have been stationed here. The chemical defense battalion had only company strength in peacetime. Both units belonged to the 7th Panzer Division of the NVA. The division was dissolved in the course of German reunification on March 6, 1991. This ended the military use of the barracks area in the southern suburbs.
Other parts of the barracks were withdrawn from military use after the end of World War II and used for residential purposes.
Südvorstadt residential area
With the military re-use of the barracks along Rottwerndorfer Strasse in 1934, the army administration ordered the evacuation of the 191 apartments in the barracks. As a replacement from 1935, today's residential area Südvorstadt was built in the immediate southern neighborhood. Initial plans envisaged the construction of 36 six-family houses with a total of 216 apartments.
The construction of the settlement took place in the multi-family house stock largely in the course of the cooperative housing construction by the Heimstätten-Baugenossenschaft Pirna, which has existed since 1928 . The first apartments were already available in June 1935. The city of Pirna and the Sparkasse funded the construction of further apartments, including single-family houses, with cheap loans. A total of 669 new apartments were built on 239 plots by 1938. On August 28, 1938, the new residential area was officially consecrated under the name Hermann-Göring -Stadt. The new settlement had 2,345 inhabitants, 772 of whom were children under 14 years of age.
The new settlement corresponded to the architecture of National Socialism . The single-family, double and group houses are built in the style of homeland security architecture. They are based on an orthogonal street network, the main streets of which end in plazas. Large parts of the Südvorstadt are today under monument protection as the "material entity Südvorstadt" .
In the course of the air raids on Dresden on February 15, 1945, bombs were mistakenly dropped on Pirna's southern suburb. The actual target was the Dresden-Friedrichstadt train station , which was missed due to a thick cloud cover. 24 United States Army Air Forces aircraft dropped 430 high-explosive bombs over the Südvorstadt settlement and the adjacent barracks area. Twelve residential buildings in the settlement were totally destroyed, another 39 buildings suffered severe to moderate damage. 7 women and 7 children were killed in the attack and 262 people were left homeless. A Wehrmacht bunker in the neighboring barracks area was hit directly. 31 soldiers died.
Development since 1990
The renovation of the cooperative residential buildings began in 1993 and was largely completed by 2010. South of Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Straße, the residential area was expanded in the 1990s to include several buildings with a total of 128 apartments.
A branch of the Spar retail chain (Eurospar) opened in the 1990s closed in 2002. The supply situation in the residential area deteriorated significantly.
In the course of urban redevelopment east , a total of 285 permanently vacant apartments including the associated technical infrastructure were demolished from 2004 onwards. The demolition affected both parts of the barracks area and areas of the multi-family house stock built in the 1930s, which had been left to decay due to unclear ownership. Here 12 houses with 125 apartments were demolished. The dismantling areas of the former apartment building stock were developed for individual residential construction.
The Heinrich-Heine-Schule, which formerly existed in the barracks area, has been used by a Protestant elementary school since 2003 and also by a Protestant middle school since 2007. Since spring 2016, the sponsoring association of both schools has been converting two buildings of the former Red Barracks into a future Protestant school center for up to 650 students. The total investment for this is approx. € 12.5 million.
Parts of the district are now under protection as the "Ensemble der Musikersiedlung, Pirna-Südvorstadt" area monument .
Economy and Infrastructure
In 1940 the Pirna Ost stop of the Gottleubatalbahn was set up at the level of the barracks . The railway line went into operation in 1880 to bundle the heavy goods traffic - at that time the Gottleubatal was one of the centers for the extraction of Elbe sandstone , which was transported on the Rottwerndorfer Straße towards Pirna. Until 1970 there was still passenger traffic. In 1999 the section of the line was closed and the tracks were dismantled three years later.
