Der Dinglingerbrunnen

Dieses kleine Schmuckstück versteckt sich am nördlichen Ende der Westfassade des Neuen Gewandhauses beziehungsweise jetzigen Gewandhaushotels in der Inneren Altstadt Dresdens. Es handelt sich um den bzw. ein Fragment des Dinglingerbrunnens. Der Goldschmied Johann Melchior Dinglinger schuf im Auftrag August des Starken hervorragende Kunstwerke und Peziosen und hat wohl auch um das Jahr 1718 den Entwurf zu einem Brunnen für sein Wohnhaus selbst ausgeführt. Ursprünglich beand sich das (viel größere) Brunnenbauwerk im Hof des 1726 erbauten Dinglingerhauses an der Frauengasse 9 nahe dem Neumarkt (Quartier VI), in dem der Hofjuwelier selbst wohnte. Der Brunnen nahm damals die gesamte Breite des kleinen Hofes ein und war reichgeschmückt mit Putten, Delphin, Triton oder Neptun und einer Muschel mit goldener Kugel. Das Dinglingers Haus und der Brunnen überlebten die Zerstörungen 1945 nicht. Die Reste des Brunnens wurden geborgen, ergänzt und beim Neubau des Gewandhaushotels 1967 als Wandbrunnen neu eingefügt. Der Dinglingerbrunnen gilt als ältester erhaltener Hofbrunnen der sächsischen Landeshauptstadt.


The Dinglinger Fountain

This little gem is hidden at the northern end of the west façade of the New Gewandhaus, or the current Gewandhaus Hotel, in Dresden's inner city. It is a fragment of the Dinglinger-Fountain named after the famous Goldsmith Johann Melchior Dinglinger was commissioned by Augustus the Strong to create outstanding works of art and petioles. He probably also carried out the design for a fountain himself in order to build it directly in his house around 1718. Originally, the (much larger) fountain was located in the courtyard of Dinglinger's house, built in 1726, at Frauengasse 9 near Neumarkt (Quartier VI), where the court jeweller himself lived. At that time the fountain took up the entire width of the small courtyard and was richly decorated with putti, dolphin, triton or neptune and a shell with a golden ball. Dinglingers House and the fountain did not survive the destruction in 1945. The remains of the fountain were salvaged, replenished and reinstalled as a wall fountain when the Gewandhaus Hotel was rebuilt in 1967. The Dinglingers Fountain is considered the oldest preserved court fountain in the Saxon state capital.
