Dinglingerhaus, 18th-century residential building in 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.
Built between 1711 and 1716 by architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, the building was purchased by jeweler Georg Christoph Dinglinger when it was completed. It represents early Baroque architecture that developed in Dresden during that period.
The interior contains four main rooms arranged in sequence, reflecting how wealthy Dresden merchants lived during the Baroque era. This layout was typical of how prosperous families organized their homes at that time.
The building is visible from the street where visitors can view the original facade details and central portal. A walk around the exterior allows you to see the architectural features and appreciate its location on this important square in the city center.
Archaeological excavations beginning in 2013 uncovered original basement elements that were reintegrated during the reconstruction work in 2015-2016. These discoveries helped reveal important details about the building's original structure and appearance.
