Zech's house

New building from 2012 on the site of the former Zechschen house

The Zechsche Haus at Schössergasse 27 (now Schössergasse 29) in Dresden was one of a number of noble houses in the vicinity of the Dresden Residenzschloss . The two-story corner house facing the Kanzleigäßchen was built at the end of the 16th century and had four mannerist gables. Around 1660, the conventional beamed ceilings for Duke August von Sachsen-Weißenfels were replaced by stucco ceilings in the corner room on the first floor . According to Fritz Löffler, the stucco ceiling is considered "a particularly valuable work by Italian artists". According to Löffler, the work was probably made by Gabriel Minetti, a supreme stucco master from the Electorate of Saxony, who also designed the stucco work inside the palace in the Great Garden around 1680 .

From 1702 the house belonged to the Privy Councilor Bernhard Zech , in 1737 it came into the possession of the Electoral Saxon court. As an administration building, it was now used as a mountain room, financial archive and forestry office. The building was destroyed in the Second World War. The originally planned restoration as a lead building in Quartier VIII as part of the reconstruction at Dresden's Neumarkt could not be implemented for fire protection reasons.
