Heinrich-Schütz-Haus, Dresden, Renaissance residence in Dresden, Germany.
The Heinrich-Schütz-Haus at Frauenstraße 14 is a residential building with three sections and reconstructed historical facades near the Frauenkirche. The structures were rebuilt from 2007 to 2008 and now serve as a senior residence with modern apartments.
The original building was constructed in 1530 and served as the home of composer Heinrich Schütz from 1629 to 1657. It was destroyed during the 1945 bombing of Dresden and later reconstructed.
The sandstone frieze on the facade displays 32 dancing children, created by Christoph Walther I in 1535, expressing the joy of life during the Renaissance.
The building sits near the Altstadt center and is easily reached on foot. The site is barrier-free, making it suitable for visitors with mobility needs.
The children dancing in the relief tell a contrasting story to Dresden's Death of Dance depictions, showing Renaissance optimism. This contrast makes the building a visual counterpoint within Dresden's urban architecture.
