At its time, the Johannbau was one of the first and most important castle buildings of the early German Renaissance. One of its characteristic features was the round-arched gable. Such round arched gables, also called “Welsche gables”, are among the “trademarks” of the early Renaissance; In central Germany they first appeared on castle buildings in 1524 at Hinterglauchau Castle. The gables on the Johannbau are structured by cornices and pilasters. Windows originally illuminated two attic floors. Quarter circle arches close the recessed corners. The upper end of the gable is formed by three-quarter circle arches in which there are small round inlets made of sandstone. The sandstone arches of the gables are accompanied by lily tracery friezes, which can also be found on St. Mary's Church in Dessau. Balls that were originally gilded are placed on the gable arches. The round arched gables are attributed to Ludwig Binder. Their spheres, pilasters, cornices and plaster lily friezes are considered typical features of Binder's work.

A special feature are the serially prefabricated terracotta pieces with which the pilasters of the gable are filled. The narrow bas-reliefs each show a baluster column above a rosette of leaves, above which is a dolphin-like structure and various vegetable ornaments. Winged putti in different poses decorate the pilaster bases. Decorative elements made of terracotta, cast serially in models, became widespread in castle buildings in central Germany from around 1528. Wing C of Torgau Castle, built from 1533, also has terracotta pilasters.

Tiergarten Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Tiergarten Bridge Dessau-Roßlau is popularly known as the "egg cutter." This three-dimensional work of art was created as a crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists over the Mulde River to the zoo. It winds its way through a magnificent landscape and is a worthwhile destination for visitors to the city of Dessau.
