Alte Feuerwache Loschwitz
Alte Feuerwache Loschwitz stands in Dresden’s Loschwitz district, showing Jugendstil through its mansard roof and window shutters. Georg Schramm designed it in 1908 for the growing village. Its setting reflects Loschwitz’s transformation around Körnerplatz, where Gründerzeit houses joined the village centre.
The fire station served a growing community until its equipment was destroyed at the end of World War II. Loschwitz became part of Dresden in 1921. In 1991, local artists and art students led by Gudrun Oltmanns turned the building into a cultural centre.
The former station houses a gallery in its remises, with contemporary art and exhibitions featuring artists from Dresden’s partner cities. The room called Trille hosts cultural events. A guest room and studio support artist residencies, while nearby Burgberg Loschwitz offers views towards the Elbe and the Blue Wonder bridge.
