Schloßkirchplatz 1
The listed residential and commercial building was built in two construction phases on the north side of Schloßkirchplatz and the corner of Spremberger Straße in Cottbus .

Original building - Schloßkirchplatz 1
When the extension began in 1910, the apartment building from 1878/79 was upgraded in the same breath with balconies and the conversion of the ground floor zone. In 1897 Moritz Möbius opened the first restaurant “Zum Freischütz” in the eastern ground floor area. In 1944 the roof was removed and in 1950 the shop window system was redesigned for Richard Sack by the construction company Pabel & Co. The FF Sack jewelry store (named after Franz Friedrich Sack) has its sales rooms here to this day. In 1993/94 the building was modernized and the facade restored. The building is a four-storey, eleven-axis rental apartment building that stands on an L-shaped floor plan and is characterized by a magnificent decorative facade. The structure has four more axes along Katharinengässchen. On the ground floor on the left there are two shop windows and a shop entrance belonging to the FF Sack jewelry store. Furthermore, the ground floor is modeled horizontally over a grooved base with alternating smooth and ornamented cuboids. The western entrance portal has two columns and Corinthian capitals and the entrance door from 1910 has a high skylight and glass inserts with protective grille in Art Nouveau linear shapes in the upper part. The eastern portal is set back further in the facade and is flanked by two columns with capitals covered by a frieze band. The door leaf has a rich floral carving, the glazing is provided with fine iron tendril grating. A triglyph frieze separates the ground floor and a cornice band from the top floor. Balconies with wrought iron railings can be found on all floors of the left outer axis. The windows of the building vary from floor to floor: on the first floor, the windows are decorated with rosettes and the roof is made up of three-dimensional triangular gables with decorative consoles and three-dimensional masks. A drilled plaster frame and a snapdragon keystone can be found on the second floor. On the top floor, the windows are completely framed by architectural decorations. There is a lateral framing by Hermen pilasters , parapet fields with rosettes and roofs with acroteria . There is also a protruding cornice and underneath a bead and a frieze with fruit hangings. The building from 1900 is also accessible with the western staircase. This is a coiled construction with a metal railing, which has been completely preserved.

The eastern wooden staircase with wooden balusters , of the older building, is more modest.

meaning
The apartment building from 1878/79 is one of the milestones of historic architecture in Cottbus because of its lavish decorative shapes and imposing size. The extension building from 1900 testifies to the so-called " reform architecture " of the owner's high claim to representation. The architectural and artistic quality of the building is shown by the balanced building proportions, the facade structure and the effective interplay of shapes and materials.
