Development

The numbering of the house addresses begins on Schildenstrasse. The odd numbers are on the north (right) side, while the even numbers are on the south.

Several of the buildings on Karl-May-Straße are under monument protection and are therefore listed in the list of cultural monuments in Radebeul (district) , in some cases under the addresses of side streets:

• Villa Lindeberg (No. 1) , No. 2 , Karl-May-Museum (listed ensemble No. 5 with garden and villa "Shatterhand." , Villa Bärenfett and opposite Karl-May-Hain ), back of the Luther Church (Kirchplatz 1) with the old parish hall (Kirchplatz 2, formerly Karl-May-Straße 11) , No. 8 , Sunday home (No. 13) . At the end of the street there is Schumannstrasse 5 across the street .

May's Villa Shatterhand is listed in the Dehio handbook as an example of an “ Italianizing Renaissance ”.

Naming

The street begins a little halfway up Schildenstraße between Meißner Straße and Pestalozzistraße, opposite Hölderlinstraße (formerly Moritzstraße ). After the road construction plan road XI in 1890 and the development of the surrounding fields and meadows on the former farmland "top line" by the Brothers Ziller street received after handover to the community in 1892 the name of Church Street , as it the back of Radebeul Church, the Lutheran Church , opened up . The street leads to Schumannstrasse, which was dedicated in 1891.

Between 1932 and 1945 the street was already called Karl-May-Straße after the writer Karl May , who lived there until his death in 1912 .

After the Second World War, Moritzstrasse, east of Schildenstrasse, was renamed Hölderlinstrasse (Radebeul) in 1945 , and part of the Kirchstrasse in the extension was rededicated as Hölderlinstrasse. This condition lasted until 1985, when the two parts of the street were separated again and the former Karl-May-Straße got its previous name back.

Residents

The Karl May illustrator Carl Lindeberg lived at Karl-May-Straße 1. The tenement house was named after him around 2003 by its owners Villa Lindeberg .

The writer Karl May bought his first home with his villa "Shatterhand." At Kirchstrasse 5, which he lived in with his first wife Emma May and later with Klara May .

In the 1920s she had a log house built at the back of the property, the Villa Bärenfett , in which artist and Indian researcher Patty Frank lived as a museum director and presented his Indian exhibition to the public.
