How is the Hellerau district developing?
Location profile: a garden city with UNESCO potential
Hellerau lies in the north of Dresden, adjoining Klotzsche. The district was planned as a total work of art: uniform architecture, large gardens, communal open spaces. The Festspielhaus Hellerau — today an internationally renowned centre for contemporary art — is the cultural heart.
The garden-city settlement is heritage-protected. That shapes the property market: changes to the buildings must be agreed with the heritage protection authority. At the same time the listed status protects the architectural integrity — and with it the value.
Typical properties
Garden-city houses: the originals of the reform architecture. Terraced, semi-detached and detached houses with characteristic façades, large gardens and uniform design. Each house is part of an ensemble.
Listed properties: almost all buildings in the garden city are protected. For buyers this offers tax advantages (heritage depreciation under Section 7i of the German Income Tax Act).
Special features: heritage protection as value
A counter-intuitive detail: in Hellerau the heritage protection raises the value rather than reducing it. Buyers here deliberately pay for the guarantee that the neighbourhood will retain its character. The tax advantages of heritage depreciation make the properties additionally attractive.
The cultural significance of the district — the Festspielhaus, an international artists' residency, architectural history — attracts a clientele not to be found elsewhere in Dresden: cultural figures, architecture lovers, international buyers.
