description

On the basis of the Weima Imperial Constitution (§ 155) and the Reichsheimstätten Act of 1920 based on it , the non-profit Heimstätten-Genossenschaft Dresden-Reick e.V., founded in 1919, worked in Dresden-Reick . GmbH with the aim of building inexpensive residential buildings. It had its office in the building at Hülßestrasse 4. As a result of this cooperative, in addition to buildings with similar objectives elsewhere, a residential area in Dresden-Reick was created in a mixed construction (multi-storey block perimeter development, row houses). According to Bruno Just's overall development plan , a previously largely undeveloped area was developed between Reicker and Dohnaer Strasse. In the adjoining southern area, along Dohnaer and Tornaer Strasse, there was a clay pit and a factory site. The main building activities by the Heimstättengenossenschaft took place here until the first half of the 1930s. A residential development was built on the following streets:

Facade detail Hülßestrasse
  • At the mud house,
  • At the lime kilns
  • Besselplatz,
  • Gudehusstrasse,
  • Herschelstrasse (a piece of land)
  • Hülßestrasse 2 to 14
  • Keplerstrasse (except 2-4)
  • Morning run,
  • Perronstrasse,
  • Reicker Strasse 88–92, 98–116
  • Scheidemantelstrasse,
  • Schuchstrasse,
  • Tornaer Straße 2a, 2 to 30.

At the beginning of the first work and in economically difficult times, an experimental building in clay construction was built around 1920 . Although this project did not generate any economic impetus, it did generate general attention that would benefit the overall project in the future. The main construction activities were carried out between 1925 and 1928. According to the articles of association, the members of the cooperative could acquire their house from the homestead cooperative at cost price. The contract provided for the possibility of further independent design of the property, which resulted in later changes in the appearance of the settlement.

The peripheral apartment building corresponded to the urban planning goals of Dresden, which were formulated in general by the city planning officer Paul Wolf : “... the future city expansion must break with the previous system of ring-shaped , endless armoring of the cities and tread a new path. When expanding the peripheral suburbs, their semi-rural character should be preserved,… expansion areas are each surrounded by arable land and a system of leased gardens. ”And“ It is not always possible and also not correct to build apartments only in low-rise buildings; ... ie we will also have to decide to build rental houses. "

The settlement designed in 1920 by Bruno Just , Rudolf Bitzan , Otto Wulle and Schilling & Graebner is an example of a traditional construction method with subtle expressionist elements. The “moderately traditionalist facades” are remarkable. These show bay windows and stairwell niches with a color scheme in ocher and English red. Horizontal bands and diamond-shaped windows as well as triangular dormer windows give the facades of the residential buildings on the corner of Hülße- and Tornaer Straße distinctive corners and edges.
