The Weinnäpfchen was the name of a piece of land and a baroque residential building built on it at the southeast end of Augustusplatz in Leipzig at the beginning of Johannisgasse, which at that time still led to Augustusplatz.

history

In 1747, at the northwest corner of the Großbosischer Garten and Vorwerk, a piece of vineyard was separated and a residential building was built on it with access from Augustusplatz, which in 1799 was called Simonsche Haus . From around 1820 the house and property were called Weinnäpfchen .

In connection with the construction of the Museum of Fine Arts ( ugs . "Bildermuseum"), which bordered the Weinnäpfchen property, and the construction of the Ringstrasse , the city of Leipzig bought the property in 1858, parceled it out and had the house demolished. The town house of the banker Oskar von Hoffmann was built on one of the plots on the border between Augustusplatz and Roßplatz , which had to give way to the Europahaus in 1928 .

description

The Weinnäpfchen was a two-story building with five window axes on the long sides and three window axes on the narrow sides. The upper windows facing the street had segmental arches, and above the entrance in the middle was a small exit with two stone statues depicting the gods Vertumnus and Pomona . A Leipzig city map from 1823 shows that the house had a semicircular balcony or bay on the garden side. To the east was a small outbuilding.

The hipped roof was designed in a mansard shape . The long sides had three decorated hip dormer windows in the lower part , the narrow sides two. Smaller dormers in the upper part showed round windows.
