Residential building Katharinenstrasse 5

Katharinenstrasse 5

The residential building at Katharinenstrasse 5 is a listed Art Nouveau building in the Outer New Town of Dresden , which was built in 1903 by Friedrich Wilhelm Hertzsch for the architect Carl Heinrich Kühne. It was built together with the houses at Katharinenstrasse 1 and Katharinenstrasse 3 by the same architect.

The building is characterized by "rich, original architectural ornamentation". Two bats were incorporated into sandstone as a relief. Also noteworthy is the differently designed and inherently asymmetrical facade with the same base formation, storey and eaves height. The expanded attic shows a facing , which was partly executed as a sandstone plaster facade , partly in timber framing. It was built as a four-storey residential building within a closed development that is now partially destroyed by the war. The facade is nine axes wide. Different shaped balcony grilles decorate the house.
