Thielemann's house

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Thielemannsche Haus was a baroque residential building on Grosse Meißner Strasse 13 in Dresden .

history

The building was built for Barbara Sophie Ziegler before 1740. Fritz Löffler saw Samuel Locke as a design architect . Stefan Hertzig assumes another architect: "It can be assumed that the court mason Andreas Adam (1699–1746) was the architect of the house". On the basis of various indications, Stefan Hertzig thinks that Andreas Adam is possible, for example because of the "architectural language guaranteed for him [and the architectural details that are very characteristic of Adam]" such as arched opening, false balustrade and decorative, curved roof.

Even Johann Christian Hasche recognizes the design of the house. It is "very handsome because of its length of eight windows and wide shafts". Hertzig counts it among the “more unusual creations” of the Dresden cityscape.

The building was badly damaged in the bombing of Dresden in February 1945, but like other houses on Grosse Meißner Strasse, the city monuments office believed that it could be restored. The partition walls and ceilings of houses No. 3 to 13 were destroyed, but the outer and gable walls were preserved and free of cracks. After the facades were secured after 1945, the building ensemble was included in the state monument list, even if the city of Dresden, unlike the state monument council, was against rebuilding the residential buildings. Due to a parapet collapse at house no.11 on June 1, 1950, the then municipal building officer Wermund ordered the immediate demolition of the houses at Grosse Meißner Strasse 3 to 13, which was carried out on the same day despite protests from the preservation authorities. It was no longer possible to secure facade decorations.

description

The basement showed arched windows and a gate, which was also vaulted with a basket arch. Above it rose two upper floors, which were divided into eight window axes. The two central window axes were combined by pilaster strips and highlighted against the unadorned reserves. An architecture rose above the large main cornice on the roof in the form of a “very unusual wave movement that strongly invigorated the roof landscape”. The roof windows were connected to one another by means of continuous masonry and a wave-like profile strip running over the windows.
