The residential building (Augustusweg 112a), which is also under monument protection, is a two-story building with a hipped roof . The entire building is massive, the upper floor is boarded over. The window frames are decorated with board carvings. The single-storey extension has a gable roof .

The redesign is reminiscent of the redesign of the winegrower's house at Meißner Straße 172 in Niederlößnitz, probably also by the Ziller brothers, who also clad a half-timbered building (winegrower's house) with boards around 1872.

history

Ermelhaus

Fiedlerbach with the (later) Heinrich Octavius ​​Adolph Braun-Brown house on the Kleiner Berg . Behind the Hantzsch Villa with the rest of the Jägerberg and Hantzsch's observation tower . Around 1850

The Dresden citizen and benefactor Christian Ermel set up the well-meaning foundation in 1824 for the construction of a birthing and charity house , endowed with 50,000 thalers. According to the statutes, it was necessary to double the foundation amount before the foundation's purpose could be realized.

In 1885, the Lord Mayor of Dresden, Alfred Stübel, was able to begin implementing the foundation's task. In the east, the city ​​of Dresden acquired the Oberlößnitzer Flur for Ermels Wohlmeinende Stiftung (or Wohlgemeinte Stiftung ) the eastern part of the Jägerberg property to the west , the Kleiner Berg , immediately to the west of the area of ​​the Fiedlerhaus . There, in 1893/1894, the architect and town planner Edmund Bräter built the so-called Ermelhaus as a new maternity home for the Dresden Building Department .

Heinrich Octavius ​​Adolph Braun-Brown residence

As early as 1880, a house was built directly on the western property line. Heinrich Octavius ​​Adolph Braun-Brown had it built by the Lößnitz master builder, the Ziller brothers , or converted from a previous building. In 1886 an extension for a laundry room followed. This building was also used later by the foundation. A wooden lounge hall was built in 1907 directly to the east of the main building.

The Bonn-born nurse Friederike Hornstein was entrusted with the task of providing “helpless and perplexed adult girls who feel like mothers” with care and free accommodation during their birth . If the babies could not be looked after by their mothers after they were born, the foundation continued to look after the fate of the children.

For this purpose, the Nazareth children's home assigned to the foundation was used in 1901, also in Oberlößnitz at the current address Waldstrasse 24 . In this, boys were looked after until they were 8 years old, while girls were looked after until they entered the maids' school at Waldstrasse 32, which was established in the same year .

Due to the devaluation of the foundation's assets during the First World War, the foundation had to be taken over by the Dresden Council. This kept the mother house, separated the children's home and closed the maids' school. In 1922 the council expanded the purpose of the Ermelhaus, which also became asylum for needy mothers and small children. Until 1949, the Ermelhaus served as a maternity hospital in Dresden with up to 60 beds.

From 1950 the Ermelhaus became the pulmonary tuberculosis home of the Dresden-Neustadt hospital , and from 1970 the ward of the surgical department. After a thorough renovation, the newly created neurological clinic was housed there in 1997. Today the Ermelhaus belongs to the Saxon Hospital in Arnsdorf . It specializes in child and adolescent psychiatry and offers an outpatient clinic and a day clinic.

Nazareth children's home

Children's home Nazareth on Waldstrasse 24

The Nazareth Children's Home Association was founded in 1889 with the aim of “creating a home for illegitimate children and providing them with a Christian upbringing, and also enabling them to gain a respectable civil profession” . Chaired by the manor owner Karl Bernhard Schaarschmidt to "Lieutenant General found by Zeschau , Lieutenant General of Criegern, the head of internal Miss Friederike Hornstein [the head of the Ermel house], wife of Erdmannsdorff , Colonel of Kretzmar, Mrs. Councilor Baroness von Könneritz , Countess Helene Vitzthum von Eckstädt and many others ”together. In 1891 a house was rented in Dresden- Plauen . The purchase of the house at Waldstrasse 24 in Oberlößnitz, which was occupied in 1893, followed for 5,000 marks. The building offered space for 24 children between the ages of 2 and 14. Garden land was cultivated around the children's home in order to raise the pupils "through healthy and hard work [...] to be respectable people." Most of the children were taken over from the well- meaning foundation of the Ermelhaus.

The Nazareth Children's Home Association obtained its funds through donations and foundations. The years 1922 and 1923 turned out to be particularly difficult years, which called the continued existence of the children's home (after the dissolution of the connection with the Well-intentioned Foundation ) into question. The head of the children's home at the time, Privy Councilor Wach , got in touch with the Association for the Care of Christian Children's Homes , whereupon the Nazareth Children's Home Association dissolved and its association assets merged with the new sponsor.

After the Second World War, the Radebeul-Ost school for the deaf was housed in the building , and at the end of the 1950s it became the children's home for the Dresden Transport Company . After the political change, initially a municipal kindergarten, in 1992 the Diakonisches Werk took over the sponsorship. Today there is the child and youth welfare center Kinderkreis Natur - Heimat und Gesundheit , a day-care center for about 80 children of the Diakonie Kinderarche Sachsen.
