She lay in the original Sophie Street , by the brothers Ziller was built at his own expense and today the central part of Eduard-Bilz-Strasse forms. The Sophie Street was named after the Ziller sister Sophie Eugenia (1853-1874), who died at an early age of tuberculosis. Gustav Ziller's future wife Marie, a daughter of Dresden's secret councilor Otto Hennig, lived in the house.
description
Conceived as a coherent Gruppenbau, today under monument protection standing villa consists of three structures in the form of a half-story main house, a one and a half storey annexe building and a connecting building at the height of the adjacent building.
The one and a half storey villa has a mezzanine-like knee floor and flat pitched gable roofs . It faces the street at the gable end , and the main structure faces south. There is a house-high central projection on the eaves side , while in the gable facing the street there is a bay-like porch with an exit on top. To the north of the main house is the one-and-a-half-story outbuilding, which is connected by the connecting structure.
The windows are framed by sandstone walls, some of which have horizontal roofs, some of which are in turn supported by consoles . The window in the street-facing bay window shows a figural relief in the lintel. The windows in the side gable are coupling windows.
The formerly rich plaster structure made of smooth plaster has disappeared and has been replaced by dull rough plaster. Only the gables show a pilaster frame , which replaces the presumably original corner cuboid. The board carvings on eaves and verges show the Ziller Swiss style .
The connecting building with the original open arched position has been replaced by a massive veranda on the ground floor . The entrance is now on the north side of the house, it is crowned by a simple arched arch.
The enclosure was replaced by a hunter's fence, which is not very typical of the Zillers.
history
Around 1877 the Ziller brothers opened up the former Sophienstrasse at their own expense , which after completion was handed over to the rural community of Oberlößnitz. In order to upgrade the street that begins at a small square (Alvslebenplatz) or Nizzastraße , the Ziller brothers built the Sophienhof as the first building on this street at their own expense , with the main view facing south towards the square and with a tower furnished villa in the form of a building group.
The Sophienhof , together with the tower, was a modification of a Ziller standard house type that was built several times on this street. To show the versatility of this type of house, the Ziller brothers built a mirrored version of this design on the opposite side of the street in 1882/1884, years after the villas of the same type that were built on the east side of the street. This means that the main structure was again oriented to the south, but came to lie on the left side of the main view.
The villa was owned by the Dresden Privy Councilor Otto Hennig, whose daughter Johanna Sophie Marie (Marie) (1862–1910) was married to Gustav Ziller in 1886 and who, after his death in 1901, took over the fortunes of the company “Gebr. Ziller ”until her own death.
