Therese-Malten-Villa
The Therese-Malten-Villa with Remise and garden in Dresden - Zschieren (statistical district Kleinzschachwitz ), Wilhelm-Weitling-Straße 3, was built 1892-1893 for the royal chamber singer Therese Malten (1853-1930). The villa and coach house are under monument protection .
location
The property is still to be assigned to Dresden-Kleinzschachwitz (today part of the Zschieren district ) due to the urban development and settlement history .
After Kleinzschachwitz received a steamboat stop in 1886 , it developed into a sizable villa suburb where rentiers, pensioners, merchants, civil servants and those seeking relaxation lived. As the example of Therese Malten shows, there were also some celebrities.
One of the advantages of the new summer resort is its location in the Dresden Elbe Valley , which is rich in natural beauty , opposite the royal summer residence of Pillnitz Castle . The open and villa-like design of the entire area was carried out “according to the building plan”. Accordingly, every building had to be set back from the straight line and provided with a front garden.
villa
Therese Maltens' estate is one of the most generous in Kleinzschachwitz. In the building file, Bruno Müller is named as the “builder and executor”. The two-storey villa with a high basement and hipped roof forms the center of a spacious garden plot.
Designed in the forms of the German Renaissance (typical of the architectural development at the end of the 19th century), the almost rectangular structure shows facades structured in a variety of ways with risalits , open staircases , main and side entrances as well as striking corner bay windows . The building is crowned by a roof turret.
The volute gables above the two risalits on the street and garden front set special design accents . The sandstone window frames appear in the most varied of shapes, profiled at prominent points and with segmental arches or coupled, and on the mezzanine floor with parapet and roofing (as a lintel or triangular gable). Decorative elements such as tendrils, egg rods and fittings (by the way, like the two volute gables, also Renaissance motifs) enrich the corner bay window . The inscriptions SHETOM (street side) and HEUBERGER (garden side), possibly the names of the composers, appear on the gables below the triangular tops. The area above the entrance corner is designed with an ornamental framework. The main entrance is within sight of the garden gate.
An open staircase leads to an open vestibule with a column, baluster parapet and patterned tiled floor. The hall board is located behind an extremely representative portal made of architrave-like crowning, profiled half-pillars and a rich panel door, the inside of which is similarly elaborately designed. It is illuminated through a multi-part window with a segmented arch and lead glazing. The window reveal is decorated with ornamental painting in the form of stylized floral borders, vases and strips. The multi-colored historicizing beam ceiling also contributes to the picturesque character of the hall board (also a typical design element of the German Renaissance). It shows similar ornamental motifs, but is enriched by cartouche-like structures . Next to the staircase leading to the upper floor, there is a marbled pillar with a capital , which supports part of the beamed ceiling, and a volute-shaped cantilevered platform. Here was a seated female figure with a wrinkled robe and long, flowing hair. She embodied Therese Malten as Kundry in " Parsifal ".
Remise and garden
The country house-like remise building consisted of the parts of the carriage shed, stable and coachman's apartment on the top floor. The raised central wing, which is raised like a risalit, is enriched with sandstone cladding and apex stone, with the emblem of the royal Saxon chamber singer Therese Malten (Krone and TM). The one-and-a-half-story building is further structured by four basket arches, e.g. T. executed as blind arches.
Only a few parts of the former garden design of the property, such as a small arched bridge made of sandstone blocks, have been preserved.
