Residential building Katharinenstrasse 12
The residential building at Katharinenstraße 12 is a listed building built in 1851 in the Outer Neustadt of Dresden .
building
The architecture of the four-storey house is close to "the Hellenism of Berlin [...] architecture ". The building was designed as a tenement house for closed development, but is partially free. The facade has a front length of six axes and is structured slightly asymmetrically. While there is a cornice above the ground floor , a strong cornice forms the upper end of the facade. Arched windows are arranged on the ground floor and in the central axis . On the first floor, the window frames were designed as pilasters with capitals , on which the central axis is a roofwith flat gable and acroteria resting. Cartouches (“mirrors”) with lavish decorations have been placed below the windows on the first floor . Flat coupling vaults are in the stairwell.
history
The building survived the destruction caused by the air raids on Dresden in 1945, like almost all buildings in the Outer Neustadt. Due to the lack of maintenance measures by the GDR's shortage economy , it was in a bad state in 1990, but it was still fully inhabited. As a building, it has been part of the city's first redevelopment area since 1991 and was largely preserved in its original state thanks to subsidies. The provisions of the preservation statutes for the Äußere Neustadt apply to use (here: exclusion of commercial use above the ground floor).
