Residential and commercial building on Sonnenberg

The multi-storey residential and commercial building with a full basement was built in 1887 on a plot of approx. 390 m² and extensively modernized in 1995. There are three commercial units and 17 residential units spread over a total usable area of approx. 1,170 m². A large part of the property has already been extensively renovated. The building is located in a prominent corner position and impresses with its vividly designed clinker brick façade with original building details. A passageway leads to a small, quiet inner courtyard. The property is a listed building.

The "Sonnenberg" district is a traditional working-class neighborhood from the Wilhelminian era. It is located close to Chemnitz city center and the main train station and today has a population of around 14,000. The northern part of Sonnenberg has been a redevelopment area since 1991 and has experienced a real building boom since then. From Körnerplatz with St. Mark's Church to Lessingplatz, the district with its still closed Wilhelminian-style building structures has now been almost completely redeveloped. The southern area of Sonnenberg has also been included in the redevelopment funding since 2008. Positive factors in the area include the well-developed social infrastructure, such as pre-school facilities, schools, youth welfare facilities and support for migrants and families. The Sonnenberg district, which was originally dominated by craft businesses and trade, is now a popular residential area with a diverse infrastructure and newly designed open spaces.
