Sparkasse building Kötzschenbroda
The Kötzschenbroda savings bank building is located at Bahnhofstrasse 20 / Hermann-Ilgen-Strasse 28 in the Kötzschenbroda district of the Saxon city of Radebeul . The building was built in 1934/35 as an "administrative, commercial and residential building" for the Sparkasse Kötzschenbroda by the Kießling brothers . The building, which was listed after the fall of the Wall , now houses the Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda branch of Sparkasse Meißen .
description
The four-storey, two-winged savings bank building stands on a corner plot of Bahnhofstrasse / Hermann-Ilgen-Strasse in closed development, with an originally detached two-storey villa adjoining in Hermann-Ilgen-Strasse. The corner of the building at the intersection is shaped like a tower with a rounded building edge. The tower shape is supported by the vertical framing of the upper floor windows there and the vertical savings bank notice. Directly on the rounded edge extends at the level of the sills of the first floor, a panel from the wall, on the originally a vertical "advertising structure" sat up. Towards the street, the console shows a coat of arms of Kötzschenbroda with the grape and the date 1934. Above the final roof cornice sits a short, octagonal tower shaft, which is closed off by a sheet metal hood with a spire and pommel. Below on the ground floor, on the side facing Hermann-Ilgen-Straße, is the original, arched entrance to the savings bank, accessible via a semicircular three-step flight of stairs.
The wings of the building with the counter and business rooms as well as the apartments are connected on both sides. The wing along the sidewalk on Bahnhofstrasse is eleven window axes long. During the renovation in the 2010s, a sliding glass door was installed instead of the window on the first axes, which can be reached via a flat ramp and thus enables barrier-free access.
At right angles to the right wing, the left wing attachment emerges from the corner tower at a width of two window axes. This connecting structure conceals the stairwell, which is why the windows are designed as double windows one above the other. There, the seven-axis wing structure comes up to the sidewalk of Hermann-Ilgen-Straße, so that it runs parallel to it and thus at an inclined angle to the connecting structure to the next property boundary. This offset from a window axis creates a small forecourt for the tenants in Hermann-Ilgen-Strasse in front of the main entrance to the Sparkasse and in front of the house entrance in the corner.
In the last axis of Bahnhofstrasse there is a gate passage to get to the inner courtyard on the back of the building. On the ground floor of Hermann-Ilgen-Straße there is a door in the middle with a short staircase that leads into the guest rooms of the former Ratskeller behind it . Due to the special importance of this part of the building, the facade is designed as a decorative facade: the three windows on each side of the entrance are combined, and the two pillars in between are decorated with reliefs by local artist Burkhart Ebe from 1934.
The entire building stands on a flat, embossed sandstone base. The light facades are simply plastered. The rectangular windows are surrounded by concrete structures. On the ground floor, the windows are larger than the windows, in contrast to the floors above. There are also two round windows on the ground floor: one around the corner of the arched entrance on the second tower wall and the second to the left of the back on the left wing.
Between the second and third floors of both wings there is a cantilevered cornice with a sheet metal roofing, which visually reduces the height of the facade from the sidewalk. The tile roof parts, usually designed as a hipped roof, also adjoin a projecting eaves; only the left façade facing the villa has a gable roof. There are gable dormers on the roof, small towards the street and larger towards the inner courtyard.
history
History of the Sparkasse Kötzschenbroda
From 1883, the Gustav Lehmann municipal council in particular established a municipal savings bank , which in 1887 resulted in the formation of an official committee in Kötzschenbroda, the largest of the ten Loessnitz villages . This enabled the Sparkasse to start business on April 16, 1887 with a permanently employed cashier at Harmoniestraße 8. The Saxon entrepreneur Hermann Ilgen , at that time the successful operator of the nearby pharmacy in Kötzschenbroda and a long-standing founding sponsor, also took over the chairmanship of the savings bank committee for several years. The first two deposits were made on the opening day by two clubs. The Sparkasse promoted small-scale saving through savings tokens that could be purchased from local shops. Later it was also possible to purchase tokens from so-called cash carriers who came to the front door. In the year it was founded, the institute almost reached 1,000 savings accounts; in 1893 it was 500,000 marks with 3,000 accounts; In 1895 the deposit reached one million marks.
In 1909, the Sparkasse, as well as the Sparkasse Radebeul , also located in Lößnitz , started giro traffic and changed its name to Spar- und Girokasse Kötzschenbroda . The deposit grew to 4 million marks by 1914, at the end of the war in 1918 it was 7 million marks. After the First World War, the institute moved in 1919 to Bahnhofstrasse 7 in the more conveniently located building of the Hotel Kulmbacher Hof , where it was located next to the city tax office.
At the height of hyperinflation in 1923, the deposit totaled over 365 trillion marks, which became 102.88 Reichsmarks with the currency reform.
With the amalgamation of the communities Kötzschenbroda, Zitzschewig , Naundorf and Niederlößnitz in 1923 to form the large municipality of Kötzschenbroda , Niederlößnitz left the Sparkasse Radebeul Association and from then on also belonged to the supply area of the Kötzschenbrodaer Sparkasse, which became a city savings bank when Kötzschenbroda was raised in 1924. The deposits grew again in the following period: in 1929, as before the First World War, the 4 million mark mark had been reached. In the 1920s, the savings bank also set up a so-called school savings bank ; the class teachers of the seven affiliated schools sold their students 10-pfennig savings stamps, which they stuck on savings cards. If a card was fully taped, the amount was credited to the student's personal account.
The Kötzschenbrodaer Sparkasse was one of the best-run savings banks in Saxony and the only one whose deposits in 1934 were higher than in 1914 despite inflation and currency depreciation formerly part of Ilgen.
With the merger of Radebeul and Kötzschenbroda at the beginning of 1935, the Sparkasse in Kötzschenbroda changed its name to Stadtsparkasse Radebeul-West . In 1944 the law was passed to reorganize the Saxon savings and giro banks . The Spar- und Girokasse Radebeul , which was newly founded due to the legal regulations , not only became the legal successor of the Stadtsparkasse Radebeul-West and the Verbandssparkasse Radebeul-Oberlößnitz , but also took over the entire savings bank system of the communities on the right Elbe, Klotzsche , Hellerau , Moritzburg , Friedewald , Wilschdorf and the left Elbe Cossebaude . The city-wide Spar- und Girokasse Radebeul continued to use its representative building in the western part of the city as a savings bank building, so that it still houses one of the savings bank branches of Sparkasse Meißen (previously Kreissparkasse Meißen ).
History of the building
The property was last built with a building from 1854, which was modified in 1900 by the builder Alfred Große . This development was demolished and replaced in 1934/35 by the resulting savings bank building. The plans for the new building were provided by the architect Edmund Kießling , who emerged as the winner of the competition and who also implemented the building. The savings bank submitted the building application. The city council of Kötzschenbroda noted in its resolution of April 10, 1934: "The Sparkasse zu Kötzschenbroda as the applicant intends to build a savings and giro bank building, which will also contain office space for public corporations and further 14 apartments." The building project also served for Combating the prevailing unemployment and creating the necessary living space and was carried out as part of the Reich government's job creation program at the time. On December 10, 1934, the savings bank building was inaugurated as the city bank and savings bank; the construction costs were almost half a million Reichsmarks. In addition to the checkout rooms and private apartments with a playground and communal antenna, the city library and the Ratskeller restaurant were also located there. The representative Ratskeller replaced the Amtshof in Harmoniestraße as a public meeting place for the council members . The Ratskeller restaurant existed until 1957 when it was closed.
The Elbe flood in 2002 did not quite reach the corner tower through Bahnhofstrasse along the right wing of the building. The vaults in the basement were still full of water. The straight line to the normal waterfront of the Elbe bank is about 440 meters.
The building was extensively repaired in the 2010s. Public guest rooms in the form of a café were also set up again. The Sparkasse Meißen Foundation, established in 1998, took the opportunity to support local artists by setting up an art gallery in the Kötzschenbrodaer rooms ( gallery in the Sparkasse ).
