The Trier-Saulsche Haus (also Triersches Haus ) at Neumarkt 7 in Dresden is a late Baroque town house that was destroyed in 1945 and reconstructed in 2008.

History and description

A previous building at this point was acquired on June 28, 1731 by the court councilor Johanna Friederica Trier. Presumably after 1750 the building, which was destroyed again by Prussian shelling of Dresden during the Seven Years' War in 1760 , was built. After the destruction, a "relatively high" loss of 8500 thalers was determined. The reconstruction took place after 1760 under Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul .

According to Johann Christian Hasche and Heinrich Keller , the house was built according to a design by Samuel Locke . However, Stefan Hertzig takes the view that Locke was only the architect of the reconstruction of the house after 1760 and added the fourth floor to the building.

Cornelius Gurlitt describes the house at Neumarkt 7 as a five-window-wide house with four upper floors. Gurlitt thinks that it is probably a former Renaissance building that received "strong Rococo cartridges" between the three central windows after the fire of 1760. Emblems such as the rod of Mercury and probably silversmiths have been embedded in the cartridges . In the second courtyard there were open balconies on supporting stones as connecting passages.

The original appearance of the building is insufficiently documented. While Gurlitt describes the building in its baroque decorated state, the facade decoration must have been removed between 1903 and 1930. Landhausstrasse  1 adjoins the rebuilt house .
