Zillerplatz
The Ziller space located in the district Niederlößnitz the Saxon town of Radebeul , between the intersections of the north-trending Zillerstraße with the running eastward Heinrich Zille-Straße and the a short distance further north to west running Winzerstraße . About 90 meters further east, the two roads meet at a fork. The Zillerplatz was laid out in the 1870s by Moritz Ziller (1838–1895), the older brother of the two Ziller brothers , as a decorative area .
history
In the 1870s, the Ziller brothers' construction company laid out Zillerstrasse. It runs from Meißner Straße in an approximately north-northeast direction to Lößnitzgrund . Planned as a showcase street for the construction company, it was given an oval, square-like widening between the two intersections with the old vineyard paths of Magdalenenstraße (today Heinrich-Zille-Straße) and Mittlere Bergstraße (today Winzerstraße), which was adorned by a roundabout in the middle. This is already marked on the plan of the Lößnitz from 1876.
In 1885, the Ziller brothers upgraded the roundabout to a decorative place by placing a round water basin with a diameter of around five meters. In the middle of it was a goblet-like fountain bowl with a fountain. After this, the first name was Fontainenplatz. Zillerstrasse , which can be found in a wood engraving from 1891, for example. On this wood engraving, the view goes south to the lower part of Zillerstrasse. At the street corner on the left you can see the Gothic House, which was built around 1850 and has since been demolished, and on the right the Villa Zillerstraße 13 , built in 1873 with the yellow-glazed corner tower . In September 1886 Moritz Ziller applied to the community for the erection of life-size figures like a few years later at Fontainenplatz in Serkowitz , but it was never realized. 16 plane trees were planted around the square, and the Beautification Association for the Loessnitz people set up benches.
The prerequisite for the operation of the fountain was the Zillersche waterworks in Lößnitzgrund, which from 1876 supplied 60 Niederlößnitz properties with water. The water, pumped from two wells by means of steam pressure into an elevated tank on the Jagdweg, ran under natural pressure in iron pipes through the Paradiesweg (today Auf der Berge) to the fountain. Since the Ziller brothers had already had a contract with the municipality since 1867 to be able to expand driveways and footpaths without paying taxes, it was possible to lay the pipelines specifically to the square. In June 1889 , Chamberlain von Blumenthal , who lived in Villa Borstrasse 11 , acquired half of the wastewater from this "large fountain".
Around 1895 the green area surrounding the water basin was surrounded by a hunter fence. This was later replaced by a low metal fence.
After Moritz Ziller's death, the community took over the place. Ziller himself had made design suggestions for the triangle of the square that emerged from the fork in the road to the east of the square. From 1904 onwards there were several approaches to their implementation. Until 1912 mainly conifers were planted there and the plantation was enclosed by a hunter fence towards the footpath.
In a photo from around 1910, the goblet-like inner fountain bowl has already disappeared, and sometime later the bubbling fountain also disappeared.
Today the Zillerplatz is just an expansion of the continuously paved and busy Zillerstraße, planted with plane trees. The former green triangle up to the fork in the road is now a wild car park with a container space.
Since 2007 there has been a city council resolution on the urban green space concept of the city of Radebeul, which was developed and approved as part of the urban development concept. In accordance with the timing of construction projects there for the redesign or refurbishment of public green spaces, the sculpture park at the state theaters of Saxony was rebuilt by 2011 and the green areas of Angers Am Kreis , at the observatory and at Prof. Wilhelm Ring within the Altfriedstein villa colony were completed.
Of the outstanding projects to (re) design the station forecourt at Radebeul Ost station , Zillerplatz, Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz and Eduard-Bilz-Platz , the station forecourt will be realized in the course of the construction work taking place there in 2012/2013 and for Zillerplatz the drafts already available should be further developed in the short term.
