Waldschlösschenviertel
The Waldschlösschenviertel is an area in the Radeberger Vorstadt district of Dresden , which extends east of the Prussian Quarter between Bautzner Strasse and Radeberger Strasse . It was named after the Waldschlösschen , a former hunting lodge built from 1800. The quarter is best known for the south terrace of the Brauhaus am Waldschlösschen restaurant, above the river valley, with a panoramic view of the Elbe and the historic city center. The area belongs to the buffer zone (the Waldschlösschenwiese to the core zone) of the former world cultural heritage Dresden Elbe Valley .
While the “Brauhaus” as the most famous facility in the area, as well as numerous others, meanwhile write “Waldschlösschen” according to Heysescher's spelling (spelling reform from 1996) , the name of the street that passes by corresponds to the Adelung's spelling Waldschlößchen (official spelling until 1996). The name of the Elbe bridge that runs in front of the area is particularly often found in this spelling with ß due to the controversy that has been going on over the years .
"Waldschlösschen" hunting lodge
The Waldschlösschen at Radeberger Straße 60 is owned by the Italian Count Camillo Marcolini , the chamberlain of Elector Friedrich August III. , hunting lodge built from 1800 to 1803 in neo-Gothic style. After the count had a model estate with outbuildings built at today's Bautzner Straße 96 , he had the Waldschlösschen built in the then modern English style, especially for his wife Maria Anna O'Kelly . From 1829 a pub was operated there.
The building was converted into a residential building in the first half of the 20th century. After it had been empty for years, deteriorated noticeably and in June 2008 there was not a single interested buyer, the next auction ended on June 2, 2009 with ten bidders with a sale for 214,000 euros to a private individual. The listed building was renovated from 2009 to 2013 and is part of a private clinic.
Brewery and restaurant "Brauhaus am Waldschlösschen"
The Aktienverein der Societätsbrauerei zu Dresden built a large brewery on the site acquired in 1836 , which was inaugurated on March 26, 1838. The Waldschlößchen Beer was not only to Berlin and Leipzig after, but in 1855 Brazil exported. The pub and beer garden attached to the brewery developed into one of Dresden's main gastronomic attractions.
In the GDR, beer was brewed in the brewery until the early 1980s, after which only non-alcoholic drinks were made. During the fall of the Wall, the business closed and was reopened in 1997 after renovations and extensions as a brewery pub.
Waldschlösschenwiese and Waldschlösschenblick
The area of the brewery and the section of the Bautzner Straße that passes below owes its special attractiveness, which has been preserved over time, to the so-called Waldschlösschenblick . Along with the Canaletto view, it is one of the most famous panoramic views of Dresden. The widening of the Elbe valley beginning at this point , the curvature of the river at its feet and the panorama of Dresden's old town with the Frauenkirche that can be seen in the distance form a harmonious whole. This sight has been praised again and again in literature for centuries, although the historical Waldschlösschen view has no longer existed since around 1838 due to the development of the area with the Waldschlößchen brewery.
From 1842, the opening of the viewing terrace (south terrace of the brewery at Waldschlösschen ), the term was transferred to the view from there. Since this historical view through the trees and the widening of Bautzner Strasse in the 1930s is also no longer available, a pavilion was built on the south side of Bautzner Strasse in 1936.
The fascinating view is possible because at this point the Elbe-facing side of the road remained undeveloped for a length of about 300 meters. In 1908, the city bought this area known as Waldschlösschenwiesen in order to ensure that the area was not built on, in addition to the widening of the traffic routes that had become necessary.
The Waldschlösschenwiese is one of the Dresden Elbwiesen and is the part with the steepest gradient. In the immediate vicinity, the Waldschlösschenwiese marks a broad area of the Elbe meadows, which become narrower upstream through the Dresden Elbe slopes and downstream through the development of the inner city. It also forms an extension of the Elbe slopes. Part of its area is taken up by the Waldschlößchenbrücke, which in turn enables numerous additional vantage points of Dresden's old town.
Waldschlößchenbrücke
The Waldschlößchenbrücke Elbe crossing is located in the vicinity of the site . Due to its location in the Dresden Elbe Valley , the construction of the bridge was controversial and postponed for many years. UNESCO and other opponents of the project saw the bridge, among other things, significantly impaired the view of the Waldschlösschen , see article Dresden Bridge Dispute .
The continuation of the Waldschlößchenbrücke traffic train leads past the Waldschlösschen area to the west in a tunnel.
