location

history
Before 1945
Sidonienstraße was part of the Environweg, in order to be able to bypass the access roads to Dresden that were subject to accidents and their barriers .
Sidonienstraße was named after the daughter Maria Sidonie Ludovica (also Sidonia) of the Saxon King Johann , a duchess of Saxony. Beginning at Dippoldiswalder Straße, Sidonienstraße originally crossed Prager Straße, it ended in Beust Straße. Sidonienstraße ran parallel to Mosczinskystraße and around 1850 closed the villa district in open development at the main train station to Wiener Platz . Hotels and guesthouses settled on Sidonienstraße. There were officials in the apartments. Craftsmen, traders and artists at home. The striking building is the Hotel Schiller (1945 Excelsior, 1965 the construction staff for the reconstruction of Prager Strasse, 1969 the building was completely demolished) at Sidonienstrasse 8 and 10, Hotel Sendigs Hof (European Court) No. 9 and the new one Hotel Sendig (Deutscher Hof) is called at number 12. The Siemens house and the extension of the Deutsche Reichsbahn were added later.
In the autumn of 1942, the Dresden Luftgaukommando III / IV negotiated with the Reichsbahndirektion Dresden about the construction of extinguishing water tanks. In 1943, a 950 m³ underground fire-fighting water tank made of reinforced concrete was built on the railway's own property between Wienerstrasse and Sidonienstrasse.
During the bombing of Dresden in 1945, the container could not be used because of the strong fires. After the bombings in 1945, all buildings were destroyed, except for the Siemenshaus, Hotel Schiller (Excelsior) and the Deutsche Bahn extension.
The degree of destruction of Sidonienstraße after 1945:
| No. | damage | Degree of destruction | building |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | light | until 10 % | 0 |
| 2 | medium | 30% | 3 |
| 3 | heavy | 60% | 8th |
| 4th | conditionally totally | 75% | 12 |
| 5 | Total | 100% | 15th |
After 1945
The new development plan made it possible to plan a second north-south connection next to Prager Strasse. Construction work on Pragerstrasse and Christian Strasse (later Leningrader Strasse and now St.Petersburger Strasse) did not begin until 1968. A completely different street scene emerged here than before the war. In the former residential area on Mosczinskystrasse, two 17-storey new buildings were built. Moltkeplatz with the undamaged nymph figure by the Dresden sculptor Gustav Broßmann disappeared completely. In 1979, a concrete figure of father and children by the Dresden sculptor Karl Schönherr was placed between the two high-rise buildings facing Sidonienstraße .
traffic
Before 1945, a tram line also operated on a double-track rail line for a while.
The Bohemian Railway Station was one of the central sources for the use of inner-city transport. Its direct connection through the center Prague street had the Dresdner streetcar company backed up. But: As an answer to the constant quarrels between the city council and this company, Dresden merchants also founded a second tram company in 1890, the German Tram Company in Dresden . As a competitive answer, the company had its car painted red, which gave it the nickname "the red one" - in contrast to the existing company, whose car was kept in "yellow" and which was therefore nicknamed "the yellow one".
In order to use the lucrative transport offers around the Bohemian train station and to offer a connection to the city center, the "Rote" was dependent on a complicated (from today's point of view adventurous) route through the Seevorstadt (east) , which, however, was due to the "joint use ban" at the time (with further stretches) secured the development of the eastern city center, which could no longer be used by the “Yellow”.
As a result, Sidonienstraße was from 1890 onwards coming from the "Red" road from Struvestraße from the city center and turning into Lüttichaustraße (today Hans-Dankner-Straße) and at the intersection again turning into Sidonienstraße, initially both west and east. While the western track stretched to Prager Strasse (due to the prohibition of shared use, the “yellow ones” were not allowed to cross here) and required a stump end in front of the renowned hotel “Europaischer Hof” on the corner of Sidonienstrasse and Prager Strasse, Sidonienstrasse became to the east to the intersection with Wiener and Werderstrasse (today Andreas-Schubert-Strasse). While the western part of the route from Lüttichaustraße was abandoned six years later in favor of a guided tour through Wiener Straße and thus the closer connection to the Bohemian train station , the eastern part on Sidonienstraße existed until 1920 and was only shut down and dismantled afterwards.
The individual dates are as follows:
| date | Specialty | Means of transport | Route | further course | receipt |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 05/10/1890 | opening | German tram company (so-called "Rote"), horse-drawn tram | Postplatz - Marienstraße - Johannesallee (about Dr.-Külz-Ring north side) - Friedrichsallee (about Dr.-Külz-Ring north side) - Viktoriastraße (partly built over, southern extension of Schulgasse) - Struvestraße (partly built over, partly Räcknitzstraße) - Lüttichaustraße (Hans-Dankner-Straße) - Sidonienstraße - Wiener Straße - Wiener Straße / Uhlandstraße and Sidonienstraße / Lüttichaustraße - Sidonienstraße / Prager Straße | ||

After the destruction of the Second World War, the road network was redesigned. As a result, Sidonienstraße today connects Wiener Straße (formerly a junction with Werderstraße) with St. Petersburger Straße (formerly Christianstraße) as a westbound carriageway, and also connects both streets to the westbound tube of the Wiener Platz tunnel. The original route beyond Prager Straße westwards has not existed since the clearing of large areas and is no longer recognizable in the street area today.
After 2000
After 75 years, the area around Wiener Platz - Ost is to be rebuilt. Two buildings that survived the bombing inferno are protected as existing, the Siemenshaus and the former management building of the Reichsbahn . The company Immopact Sidonien GmbH & CoKG became the new owner of Siemenshaus and wants to renovate it and use it as an office building. The first work has now started.
The city planning office of the state capital Dresden was looking for solutions to redesign the district east of Wiener Platz. For this purpose, a competition was called to redesign the approximately 3 hectare development area in the best inner city location. The development plan no. 123, Prager Straße-Süd / Wiener Platz, and as a result of this, the new version of an urban development concept at the southern entrance to the city from the main train station to find urban development of the quarter east of Wiener Platz. The decision was made in favor of the design by the architects' office bof architekten bücking, ostrop & flemming Hamburg . The plans for the development between Wiener Platz and Sidonienstraße in downtown Dresden are to include offices, retail outlets and apartments in the future. The southern entrance to the city center and the formation of Wiener Platz as a designed, significant spatial element of the north-south axis between the main train station and Albertplatz should be placed on a par with the already completed southern section of Prager Straße.
