The Wiener Straße is a city road in Dresden district Seevorstadt-Ost / Grosser Garten .

Location and course

Wiener Strasse begins at Wiener Platz, east of Dresden Central Station, on the street Am Hauptbahnhof . It then runs in an east-south-east direction through the districts of Old Town I, Old Town II and Strehlen . It runs almost completely parallel to Tiergartenstrasse, which forms the southern boundary to the Great Garden . Wiener Strasse is part of the 26er-Ring between the main station and Gellertstrasse . Shortly before the confluence of Andreas-Schubert- and Sidonienstraße, the roadway of the Wiener Platz tunnel meets Wiener Straße.

In its subsequent course it crosses with Uhlandstrasse and the already mentioned Gellertstrasse or Franklinstrasse and then flows into Richard-Strauss- Platz, where it crosses with Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse (part of Staatsstrasse 172 ). It then crosses a series of streets named after musicians, Richard-Wagner-Strasse, Beethovenstrasse and Franz-Liszt-Strasse. After Wiener Strasse crosses with Oskarstrasse, it flows into Basteiplatz , where it crosses Karcherallee , the eastern boundary street of the Great Garden. From Basteiplatz it leads as a cul-de-sac into a small residential area.

The road is around three kilometers long.

history

Wiener Straße was laid out in 1858 and connected the former Bohemian train station with Strehlen , a Dresden villa suburb . Wiener Strasse crossed the English Quarter on Bürgerwiese and developed into a purely villa development. In 1899 it led to just behind today's Franz-Liszt-Straße (then Palaisstraße). In 1912 it was built to its present length. A continuation in the direction of the Seidnitzer racecourse was planned around 1910, but was not carried out.

Development

The Villa Wiener Straße 11 , which was destroyed in 1945, was built in 1868/89 by Ernst Lottermoser . An extension was made by Manfred Semper in 1872. Noteworthy was a glazed loggia with columns in Tuscan and Ionic order and a single-storey picture gallery with richly sculpted pilasters, pillars, arched windows and columns. Villa Wiener Straße 32, which was also destroyed in 1945, was built as a corner house from 1872 to 1874 according to the plans of the well-known architect Emil Rösler and was considered a “strictly Renaissance-style” building, although such richly decorated villas were a rarity in the 1870s. So the bay windows on the upper floor were flanked by Koren, while carytides flanked the windows in the reserve on the upper floor.

The Villa Wiener Straße 22 was built by Bernhard Hempel in 1869 and was considered a high-quality building by the Nicolai School. It was destroyed by the air raids on Dresden in 1945, as was the Villa Wiener Straße 27, which - built by Albert Heyde in 1871 - was considered a “strictly Renaissance-style” building.

The Villa Wiener Straße 36 was built in 1875 and survived the air raids in 1945 unscathed. The central risalit received special attention during the design. The upper floor of the central risalit was given a set of half-columns, otherwise the risalits were decorated with arched windows. Villa Wiener Strasse 2 , which was destroyed in 1945, was built in 1874 by Hermann August Richter . Both the interior and the external appearance were modeled on the Villa Rosa. The middle reception room with a dome that had been painted in the “Genoese style” and otherwise showed landscapes in wax colors by Paul Mohn was remarkable .

The English Church on Wiener Straße, built by August Pieper and James Piers St. Aubyn in 1868/1869 , was also destroyed and demolished in 1945. Despite protests from the population of Dresden, the building of the Reichsbahndirektion on Wiener Strasse next to the English Church was blown up in 1952.

traffic

Tram lines 9 ( Prohlis - Kaditz ), 10 ( Messe Dresden - Striesen ) and 11 ( Zschertnitz - Bühlau ) run by the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe on Wiener Straße . The CarGoTram freight tram also runs along the Wiener Straße network . In bus traffic, Wiener Straße between the main train station and Uhlandstraße is served by bus line 66 ( Coschütz - Nickern ). The “Gret-Palucca-Straße” stop is located between the junction of Sidonienstraße and Uhlandstraße, where both buses and trams stop.

Wiener Straße has four lanes between the confluence of the Wiener Platz tunnel and Richard-Strauss-Platz. In the subsequent course it has two tracks.

Others

In contrast to the naming of Wiener Strasse, Dresdner Strasse was named in 1875 , a small part of which runs through Leopoldstadt , Vienna's 2nd district , but mostly through Brigittenau , Vienna's 20th district.
