history
The history of the traditional house goes back to the year 1730. Friedrich Schiller is said to have returned to the bar, then the “Fleischersche Schenke”. During his stay in Dresden from 1785 to 1787, when he went on excursions from the Körnerschen Weinberg , he met the innkeeper's daughter Johanne Justine Segedin in the tavern .
Johanne later achieved literary world fame through Schiller, when he took her to Wallenstein's camp , the first part of the Wallenstein trilogy , with the words: “What? the Lightning! That's the Gustel from Blasewitz "immortalized.
On the 100th birthday of the poet, the Berlin printer Ernst Litfaß , inventor of the advertising column , donated a monument to the restaurant in 1859, which was erected in the garden. On this occasion, the restaurant was renamed Schillergarten.
During the GDR era, the restaurant was nationalized and fell into disrepair. After it closed in the 1980s, a private community of owners bought the house and renovated it in the early 1990s.
During century flood of the Elbe in August 2002, the Schiller Garden was severely damaged and reopened after renovation only of 2004.
