description

The slope edge itself is secured by a high terrace wall, which creates a larger guest garden. The main building of the inn and the hall building, both of which are now under monument protection , are located on this area .

The main building on the west side is a two-storey plastered building with a far overhanging gable roof in the Swiss style . The traufständig built to slope edge building is slightly set back from the edge, so that there was still room for berths at the Elbe valley views. At the main house there are some additions and auxiliary buildings that are not listed.

On the east side of the retaining wall is the hall building (monument identification: An der Wilhelmshöhe 9010, location ): It has a basement in the substructure facing the slope. At the top of the terrace is the hall building, which consists of two structures. It is also at right angles to the edge of the slope, is made of half-timbering and has a gently sloping hipped roof . Behind the larger building is a somewhat smaller building of the same design.

history

The main building was built in 1860 as a mountain inn and excursion restaurant on the slope edge above a steep vineyard with a view of the Elbe valley . Carl Friedrich Gommlich is known as a concessionaire in 1866; he was allowed to serve beer, wine and brandy.

The hall-like pavilion construction dates from 1897/1898. The design came from Friedrich Otto Richter from Radeburg , who was also the site manager. During the simplification that took place in 1919, the vented gables on the valley side of the originally historicist building along with the iron roof ornamentation were removed.

Directly to the west and above the restaurant was a brick kiln by the master builder Christian Gottlieb Ziller .
