Ballhaus Watzke

Ballhaus Watzke is a late 19th century restaurant with a ballroom on the upper floor and an in-house brewery under monument protection. The restaurant is located in Dresden at the corner Leipziger Straße and Kötzschenbroderstraße in the district Mickten
Around 1790, in the village of Pieschen near Dresden, the first building outside the village core was a peasant shed, which was jacked up and enlarged in 1804. In this house the housekeeper Gottlob Dietzen ran a spirits distillery. Dietzen, however, received no license and was thus to blame for the fact that his house had to be auctioned for 855 thalers. The buyer was the brewer, Gottlob Wilhelm Hübner. In 1814, he received the Schankerlaubnis for "Branntwein, Dresden Stadtbier und Wein" and set up a restaurant.
