Dinglingerhaus, Baroque residential and commercial building at Jüdenhof, Dresden, Germany
The Dinglingerhaus is a five-bay residential building with three full stories and a mansard roof located at Jüdenhof in central Dresden's historic area. Pilasters run from ground level to the cornice, framing a central entrance that shows architectural influences from Prague.
The Dinglingerhaus was designed by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, probably from 1711, and built before 1716 at Jüdenhof; the client was likely Abraham Thäme. Jeweler Georg Christoph Dinglinger (1668–1728) bought it in May 1716 and gave it its name. Largely rebuilt true to the original in 2015–2016, it is not the destroyed Dinglingerhaus of Johann Melchior Dinglinger at Frauengasse 9.
The house is named after jeweller Georg Christoph Dinglinger, who bought it in May 1716; it was probably commissioned by Abraham Thäme. Its ground floor held four shops, entered from the gateway, while the stairs to the upper floors rose in line with the entrance.
The Dinglingerhaus stands at the corner of Jüdenhof and Sporergasse, next to the Johanneum. Its main five-axis facade faces Jüdenhof; the plainer four-axis side runs along Sporergasse toward Schloßstraße. The ground floor held four shops, entered from the gateway passage, with the staircase and a small light well directly behind the entrance.
The Dinglingerhaus at Jüdenhof is often confused with another house of the same name: the home of court goldsmith Johann Melchior Dinglinger at Frauengasse 9, destroyed in the Second World War, whose courtyard held the Dinglingerbrunnen fountain that still exists today.
