Villa Goethestrasse 13 (Dresden-Seevorstadt)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dresden House Goethestrasse 13

The Villa Goethestrasse 13 (today Gret-Palucca-Strasse) in Dresden was built by August Pieper from 1869 to 1870 and destroyed in 1945. Although the shape of the building was based on the historicist neo-baroque Semper-Nicolai school , historicist neo-Gothic elements were also used here. The combination of mutually exclusive form elements of the Baroque with those of the Gothic was "not common in Dresden at that time".

description

It was a pure sandstone building , with an embossed basement zone, ashlar walls and corner rustication . The building was two storeys high and had a front length of five window axes, which were arranged symmetrically. The five-axis facade had a risalit in the middle, the length of which was the length of a window axis and where the main entrance was located. The main entrance was flanked by coupled columns that supported a balcony above the entrance. The columns and pilasters standing on both sides of the entrance showed Gothic capitals . A triangular decorative gable crowned the risalits. The upper end of the villa was formed by a hipped roof on which was a wide viewing platform. The hipped roof was surrounded on all four sides by an attic with Gothic-style quatrefoils that rested on the protruding cornice.
