Schwanenhaus (Dresden)
The Schwanenhaus , originally Long House on Coßels , is an elongated classicist building with swan decorations on the central gable in the Innere Neustadt district of Dresden on the Holzhofgasse 8/10 property. Today it is an old people's center of the Diakonissenanstalt Dresden .
history
Woldemar Hermann built it in 1826/1827 as an originally two-storey building on behalf of the professor of French Frédéric de Villers in the former Cosel Gardens .
The Schwanenhaus served as a tenement house for eight families. The Diakonissenanstalt acquired it in 1928 and used it as an old people's home for deaconesses. In 1945 it burned down like numerous other buildings of the institution. At the beginning of the 1980s, a demolition of the dilapidated building was still being discussed. It was finally decided to rebuild the ruins, which was carried out from 1986 to 1990 in the historical style. Today the "Altenzentrum" is located in the Schwanenhaus. At the same time, a new building was built on the site, which now houses the nursing home of the institution. A workshop for the disabled was built in the basement and moved to a new building by the architects Hillebrand and von Below in Weißig in 1996 .
Woldemar Hermann also built the “domed villa” or the “Wasserpalais auf Cosel” for de Villers. It was destroyed in World War II and not rebuilt. The Diakonissenanstalt had used the villa as a nursing school from 1927.
