Saul's house

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saulsche Haus (also ministerial hotel ) in the inner old town of Dresden was built from 1752 to 1753 by Johann Christoph Knoeffel for the Legation Councilor Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul . It is considered to be Knöffel's last work. The building was destroyed in World War II.

location

Saul's house formed the south-western end of Seestrasse and was number 18. To the south it stood directly on the rampart wall on the alley “An der Mauer”, which at that time also continued west of Seestrasse.

History and architecture

It was first built as a three-wing complex. A fourth wing was added in the second construction phase.

It was an elongated building with two courtyards. The upper floors with simple pilaster architecture rested on the basement . The main facade on Seestrasse was divided into nine axes. The central projection was divided into five axes and decorated with cartouche. A segment gable over three windows in the roof zone adorned the secular building. The portal to Seegasse showed an elaborate rococo carving with bronze handles, a work by Joseph Deibel . The building was later used as a ministerial hotel. In 1924 it was rebuilt for the Saxon State Bank based on a design by Oskar Pusch .
