history

Area around the village of Strehlen, 1863

Strehlen was first mentioned in a document in 1288 as Strowelin , which means "place of Strowela". In 1307 the Altzella monastery acquired most of the village for its monastery courtyard in Leubnitz and in 1312 even half of the Strehlener Vorwerk . After the Reformation , the place came to the Leubnitzer Amt in 1550 as the property of the monastery courtyard, which was under the suzerainty of the Dresden council. As a result, many citizens of Dresden acquired fields and meadows in Strehlen. Due to the creation of the Great Garden , the village had to give up around 59 hectares of its area in 1676. For this purpose, the corridors of the Frankenberg desert went over to Strehlen.

Christ Church in Strehlen

Since the middle of the 19th century, the place developed into the home of the upper class, many of the Dresden villa buildings were built here , including some magnificent buildings on Parkstrasse and Wiener Strasse . At Wasaplatz there was a closed development in the style of the decades from 1870 to 1900. From 1860 a royal villa was built on the site of the former Rothen Haus , a forester's house with tavern, between Bahndamm, August-Bebel-Straße and Franz-Liszt-Straße and its own train station. The Dresden Luftgau Command was established in this area from 1935 to 1938 , later with a different use: between 1945 and 1952 it was the seat of the Saxon state government, then Friedrich Engels military academy , and after the reunification, the Bundeswehr muster station. The buildings south of August-Bebel-Strasse are increasingly being used by the TU Dresden . The horse-drawn tram ended at the Dorotheenhof inn in Strehlen . At the turn of the century, the impressionist Wilhelm Claudius (1854–1942), great-great-nephew of the poet Matthias Claudius, lived and worked at Residenzstrasse 20 (today August-Bebel-Strasse) .

In 1892 the place was incorporated into Dresden. The main reason for this was the frequent flooding in the Kaitzbach area , which made it necessary to build a flood channel to Lingnerallee. This was only possible for the community in cooperation with the city of Dresden.

To the south of the former village, closed housing estates were built between 1900 and 1930, which were later also designed as cooperative apartments using a more open structure. On both sides of Reicker Straße, a new building area was built on the former fields of large market gardens from 1980. The Otto-Dix-Center (ODC) shopping center has been located on Reicker Strasse since March 2001, surrounded by Otto-Dix- and Rudolf-Bergander-Ring .

The Strehlener street located in the neighboring district Südvorstadt.
