House Wilsdruffer Strasse 14
The house at Wilsdruffer Strasse No. 14 was an early baroque residential building in Dresden. In 1945 the building was destroyed.
The house was built around 1660 for the city preacher Christian Zimmermann. The entrance to the house was on the left. A two-story wooden bay window with a slight ashlar at the corners was in front of the second window on the right. The windows were grouped according to the room. The gable was two-storey and in the Mannerist style, with five Ionic and three Corinthian pilasters with rich scrolls and curves . To top it off, there were two dolphins with entwined tails. Steche refers the building to the end of the 16th century with a subsequent renovation.
Stefan Hertzig describes how the decor attached to the facade was subordinated to the dominant horizontal and vertical lines.
