The Strehlener Straße is a street in the Dresden Südvorstadt .
description
The Strehlener Straße is one of the oldest streets in the area of the Dresden Südvorstadt and was called "Kälberweg" until the 19th century. This was due to the fact that market routes to Räcknitz and Zschertnitz met Strehlener Strasse and the cattle were driven to the market here. The construction of a new route for the Saxon-Bohemian Railway significantly changed the way the route was run. Part of the street had to be relocated to the south because another part of the street was used by the new railway line. In 1868 it was expanded further. It was not until the 19th century that the connection was named after the neighboring Strehlen district. Strehlener Strasse starts at Teplitzer Strasse and flows into Bayrische Strasse. It crosses Franklinstrasse, Uhlandstrasse, Hochschulstrasse and Fritz-Löffler-Strasse .
Development
Until it was destroyed in the air raids on Dresden in 1945 , the building of the Dresden Polytechnic , since 1890 Dresden University of Technology, was located on Strehlener Straße, built by Rudolf Heyn in the neo-renaissance style between 1872 and 1875 . This was lavishly decorated with architectural sculptures, such as Ionic and Corinthian half-columns and pilasters , flat gables , balustrades and various reliefs .
Only the listed residential building at Strehlener Straße 77 remains of the historical development. The streetscape today is shaped by post-war buildings. From 1954 to 1958 Richard Paulick and Friedrich Wilhelm Wurm built the building of the technical school for railway engineering , with the class wing on Strehlener Straße forming the focus of the architecture. Windows and sgraffito cassettes on the fourth floor emphasize the horizontal. The garden front on Strehlener Straße has a raised staircase with an emphasis on the entrance and a dominant arch at the height of the main cornice. A sundial in contrasting colors under the final arch includes a round window located there.
At the confluence of Hochschulstrasse and Strehlener Strasse, the "architectural accent" of the 1952 central building of the University of Transport (now: Dresden University of Technology and Economics ) is particularly eye-catching from the main train station.
From 1970 to 1971, the eight-storey operating building of the BMK Coal and Energy was built on the property at Strehlener Straße 22 according to the designs of the architects Harry Schulze and Achim Riebe . It is 108 meters long and 12 meters wide and forms the "continuation of the southern development of Strehlener Straße". The building was constructed using the reinforced concrete skeleton "VGB" method, the two staircase towers in sliding construction . The facade front is characterized by a "emphatically horizontal facade structure". This structure is done by concrete parapets with exposed aggregate concrete surfaces and ribbon windows. The building was transferred to Walter Bau AG in 1991 as part of the takeover of the Bau-Union founded by the BMK Coal and Energy . After Walter Bau AG went bankrupt in 2005, the Free State of Saxony acquired the building in 2013. It is currently mainly used by the Technical University of Dresden .
