Palais Minckwitz

The Palais Minckwitz is a city palace from the middle of the 18th century in the new town of Dessau. It is named after the sixth owner, a member of the von Minckwitz family.
The city of Dessau lost almost all of its historic buildings during the bombing nights of the Second World War. Ideologically motivated demolitions of the few surviving monuments in the city centre created space for a new socialist city. In the city centre, Johannisstraße alone had survived all the changes almost unscathed until 1990. There, the Palais Bose and the Palais Minckwitz on the former Neumarkt have been preserved. It is now the oldest completely preserved house. It is located in the Neustadt, which was begun at the end of the 17th century, opposite the Lutheran St. John's Church, built from 1688 to 1702 according to plans by the Dutchman Cornelis Ryckwaert.
