history

The town house was built according to plans by the architect Rudolf Bitzan from 1927 to 1928 under the direction of Emil Weise. It was part of the development plan drawn up by the then social democratic city administration under Mayor Carl Wedderkopf around the previously created Neumarkt, which provided a number of representative buildings with important urban functions up to a new town hall in order to give the town of Freital, which was created from the merger of municipalities, a common center .

In addition to a department store, the town house was to house four medical practices and ten luxury apartments in order to prevent wealthy citizens from moving away for tax reasons. A central post office to be built later was to be added on the north side. Construction, whose credit financing was highly controversial in the city council due to the financial difficulties of the city, began in the summer of 1927. The central post office, the new town hall and a central city crematorium could no longer be built.

After its completion in 1928, a café, an Ehape branch and a bookstore were housed in the town house. In the GDR , the basement was used by the city ​​library from 1950 , while the upper floors focused on the medical sector as a polyclinic . After the fall of the Wall , the library moved to an old villa on the other side of Dresdner Strasse, and a Sparkasse branch in the town hall . Later it was home to an electronics store, currently there is a medical supply store, a pharmacy and a model railway shop in the building.

On December 17, 1998 the town house was added to the list of cultural monuments .
