location
The building is located north of the parish church of St. Peter and Paul , which is popularly called St. Peter's Church . On the steep north slope of the Kirchberg, the Vogtshof rises above the Nikolaivorstadt in the north and the Lusatian Neisse in the east. In the north and east, the green space in the former Nikolaizwinger encloses the building.
history
Before the city emerged, there was a castrum or castle hill in this area . In the immediate vicinity there was a manor, roughly on the current location of the Waidhaus . In 1268, Upper Lusatia was divided into the states of Bautzen and Görlitz at the behest of Margrave Otto IV of Brandenburg . Presumably during this time, when the city became the administrative seat of the eastern Upper Lusatia, a permanent house was built for the highest sovereign officials and the governor . When Upper Lusatia was reunited in 1329, however, the state officials mostly resided again in the Ortenburg in Bautzen . The seat of the state officials was also simply called Hof or in 1327 the Duke's Hof (after Heinrich I, Duke von Jauer ). Two years later, Johann von Böhmen used the following words: “Our Vogt in our court in Görlitz”.
In the Vogtshof sat next to the bailiff, the fiscal officials and the governor . The state estates of the Görlitz district also met here . On April 30, 1456, the building was destroyed in a city fire that broke out in Nikolaigasse, as was the Nikolaiturm . After that, only a few more rooms were set up in the city for the court and administration. It was not until October 20, 1567 that Emperor Maximilian II presented the uninhabited and fallow Vogtshof to the city council at the city council's request. The city built a grain and bulk house on the site, which also had rooms for the regional and court courts. This was a condition of the emperor for the transfer of the land to the city.
In 1791 the city reorganized the estate administration room and the archive, largely at its own expense. Twenty years later, the Upper Lusatian estates of the Görlitz district bought the Vogtshof, the so-called Schlösschen and the Zwinger from the city for 9,900 thalers in order to build a breeding and workhouse in its place . However, the scarce resources during the coalition wars did not allow construction to proceed. As a result of the Congress of Vienna , eastern Upper Lusatia and Görlitz moved from Saxony to Prussia. The estates built in 1826, the castle to cottage to where it until the completion of the new stalls house on the promenade (now Dr. Kahl Tree Avenue) met 1854th Finally, in 1826, the government bought the site and the construction it had begun for 25,000 thalers and completed the prison by 1830. The Prussian state also used the building as a garrison barracks at the beginning.
On 27./28. On May 1st, 1848, the northern wing burned down and on November 7th of the same year the wing of the castle burned down. In 1928, the city bought back the abandoned prison under Lord Mayor Georg Wiesner . After 1945 Volkssolidarität first set up a kitchen, workshops and storage rooms in the Vogtshof. A year later she moved to the so-called resource on the corner of Johannes-Wüsten-Strasse and Joliot-Curie-Strasse. In 1976 the student dormitory and parts of the council archives moved into the Vogtshof, which had been largely empty since 1945. The transformation from the four-sided prison complex into a dormitory was based on a project by Prof. Bernhard Klemm, who already gained experience in converting the Münchner Platz prison in Dresden into a university building for the Technical University of Dresden .
The Vogtshof was renovated between 1994 and 2000 and is still used as a student residence for the Dresden Student Union , primarily for students from the Zittau / Görlitz University of Applied Sciences . It offers 242 places. The Maus student club of the Die Türmer eV association is located in the north wing
