Dürrer Fuchs, Cultural heritage monument in Schmiedefeld, Großharthau, Germany
Description
Dürrer Fuchs is a heritage-protected building in Schmiedefeld near the historic road connecting Dresden and Bautzen, marked by spacious horse stables and typical Saxon construction methods. The building displays traditional features of a rural inn from the late 1700s and shows elements of medieval and early modern Saxon architecture.
History
The building was constructed in 1796 and replaced an older predecessor structure on the site. During the armed conflicts of 1813, it served as a field hospital for wounded soldiers.
Culture
The building carried different names such as White Fox Field Tavern from 1678, later Three Lindens Inn until 1850, before returning to Dürrer Fuchs. This shifting name history reflects the various uses and owners who shaped the house across the centuries.
Practical
The building currently stands empty and requires preservation work, though it remains accessible from the main road on both sides. Its location between two important historic roads makes it easy for visitors traveling this route to reach.
Did you know?
A stone embedded in the western gable, installed in 1913, was long mistaken for a meteorite but turned out to be quartzite sandstone transported during the ice age. This discovery shows how natural stones from the ice age were carried from northern regions and incorporated into local building materials.
