The Johanneum is a 16th-century Renaissance building, originally named ''Stallgebäude'' because it was constructed as the royal mews. It is located at the Neumarkt in Dresden. Today the Johanneum is home to the Dresden Transport Museum (''Verkehrsmuseum Dresden''), which displays vehicles of all modes of transport and their history. == History == The Johanneum was built between 1586 and 1590 as the ''Stallgebäude'', the stables of the adjacent Dresden Castle.〔Fritz Löffler: ''Das alte Dresden - Geschichte seiner Bauten''. 16th ed. Leipzig: Seemann, 2006, ISBN 978-3-86502-000-0 〕 Both horses and coaches were housed here; two halls on the building’s ground floor provided space for carriages, coaches, and 128 horses. The Renaissance-era building was designed by Paul Buchner on behalf of Prince Elector Christian I of Saxony.〔 The upper floor dates back to 1730 and 1731, when on Augustus II the Strong's request, the building was converted into a guest house and later into a museum. The double-flight staircase was added in 1731. The royal painting collection was moved from the Dresden Castle to the ''Stallgebäude'' in 1747 and remained there until 1855.〔Harald Marx: ''Gemäldegalerie Dresden - Führer Alte Meister ''. E. A. Seemann, Leipzig, 3. Aufl., 2006, ISBN 978-3-86502-021-5, pp. 8-17. 〕 After another building alteration between 1872 and 1876, the ''Stallgebäude'' was renamed the Johanneum, after the Saxonian King John (Johann in German). The Dresden Porcelain Collection was moved into the Johanneum in 1876, followed in 1877 by the Dresden Armory collection. The building was severely damaged during the February 13, 1945 bombing of Dresden in World War II. Its reconstruction began in 1950, and the renovation of the facade was finished in 1960. Since this reconstruction, the Johanneum has been home to the Dresden Transport Museum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johanneum (Dresden)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
