description

State winery school: substructure and pergolas
Former vintner's school and Hoflößnitz from the Bismarck tower

The property lies at the foot of the steep vineyards of the Lößnitz vineyards , above the Hoflößnitzstraße running across the slope. There is a high quarry stone substructure with gates (one dated 1927 ) behind which the cellar rooms were located. On top of this, the substructure represents a wide terrace facing south, bounded by a simple grid. Pergolas stand on sandstone pillars on both sides .

The two-story building stands on the mountain side of the terrace, five-axis along the street and two-axis in the depth. On top sits a high, tiled hipped roof with a gable dormer on each window axis. In the street view, the inscription Staatsweingut is placed between the floors .

The simply plastered house was built “in the strict Heimat style”, which is used synonymously for Heimatschutzstil in the Radebeul monument topography . The windows are framed by shutters ; the front door on the north side is framed by sandstone, above which there is a small balcony .

To the right of the main building is a single-storey outbuilding, also with a hipped roof.

history

In 1913 the Association for the Promotion of Viticulture in the Lößnitz was founded, which in the same year set up a vine nursery and a pruning garden on a 4000 m² lease area near the Hoflößnitz . After the phylloxera catastrophe in the 1880s, the aim was to produce vines suitable for recovery and to train the winemakers in the new methods required.

The Weinbaugenossenschaft eGmbH Oberlößnitz was founded in 1921 as a support . This had the statutory goal: "Establishment and operation of a sample vineyard and a sample winery, as well as procurement of the vines and utilization of the grapes and sale of finished wines for the members".

In 1925, the state culture council took over the sponsorship of the nursery school of the association with its cultivation area, which in the meantime had grown to 2.5 hectares. This resulted in a state viticulture model estate , which from the beginning of 1927 was used as a viticulture research and teaching establishment. Main grapevine breeding station of the Chamber of Agriculture of the Free State of Saxony, Hoflößnitz-Oberlößnitz Castle , operated. The management of the domain was in the hands of the oenologist Carl Pfeiffer, who was already working in the Loessnitz .

In September 1926, the Saxon Ministry of Economics had already acquired the property north of the Hoflößnitz and immediately east at the foot of the Spitzhaus staircase for an administrative headquarters of the institution. The design of the administrative building with a winegrower's school was carried out by the architect Siegfried Nagel from the Landbauamt Dresden (or senior building officer Heinrich Koch). The building was erected by the architect Johannes Eisold and the inauguration took place on October 27, 1928. In addition to administration and training rooms, there was a research laboratory and a modern winery with fermentation and storage cellars. The vineyard area assigned to the institution increased to seven hectares over the years.

In 1931, the so-called Sachsenkeule , an originally green wine bottle in the shape of a club, was developed in the state winery to improve the attractiveness of the Elbe Valley wines. Similar to the Bocksbeutel for Franconian wines, this represents a unique selling point for pure Saxony wine.

After the Second World War, the facility was affiliated to the Radebeul-Lößnitz State Winery , with which it was merged into the Lößnitz Volksweingut in 1950 .
