Kötzschenbroda is the largest settlement of the Loessnitz villages in terms of area and with 90 farms on the Anger and, as the seat of the Kötzschenbroda church, also the most important. The Franconian foundation took place directly on the Elbe and is dated to the 11th or 12th century. The avenue is oriented east-west and runs parallel to the river.

In the east, on the south side of the former market square facing the Elbe, stands the Parish Church with the churchyard on an elevation. On the east side, instead of a former knight's seat, there is the former Brauschenkgut, today's Oberschänke . The southwest side of the square is closed by the former church property, today the enclosed property with the parish and parish hall; Between the church and the Kirchgut a narrow, steep alley leads down to the Elbe meadows. The north side is closed by former Hufnerhöfe. On the east side above the Oberschänke, a traffic-calmed alley leads out of the town center towards Fürstenhain ; To the northeast, Neue Straße goes directly to the western end of Kötzschenbrodaer Straße and from there to Meißner Straße; Beyond this, it extends through Dr.-Rudolf-Friedrichs-Strasse to Lößnitzgrund . On the west side, the square is mostly open: to the west, the elongated avenue adjoins it, which is bordered by most of the gable-end two and three-sided courtyards. Shortly before its end, the Bahnhofstrasse ( coming from Meißner Strasse ) joins from the north , which is extended to the Elbe by the street An der Festwiese. Bahnhofstrasse, together with Moritzburger Strasse, was the Viehweg ( Vyheweg ) into the Oberland, that is to the Lindenau bushes . The settlement up to this point was the original upper village with double streets and a green meadow in the middle. To the west, the northern road layout continues in the so-called Unterdorf, while on the south side there is only a widened space in front of the properties. The Kötitzer Straße then leads straight ahead to the west, while the Uferstraße leads to the south-west to the steamship pier.

Development

The lot numbers start in the west. On the north side towards the steep slope, the so-called summer side, numbers 1–8 are in the form of horseshoe numbering up to Bahnhofstrasse, then Altkötzschenbroda 9 to 28 follow to the Gradsteg branching off to the north . The rest of the north side consists of house numbers 30 to 38, the Oberschänke then has 39, the church or rectory is number 40. The other south side, also winter side, form Altkötzschenbroda 41 to 61 as an upper village. Beyond An der Festwiese, numbers 62–70 form the Elbe side of the so-called Unterdorf.

The large street village Kötzschenbroda is mentioned in the Dehio manual as the most important place in the 19th century. In the GDR era, the street green , unlike the Angers Altnaundorf , Alt-Zitzschewig and Alt-Radebeul, was not a listed building. However, from 1973 at the latest, the Friedenskirche was a monument of cultural history under monument protection , together with the buildings of the rectory on both sides and the pub .

After the fall of the Wall, most of the properties there on the Anger are listed as cultural monuments on the site and are therefore listed in the list of cultural monuments in Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda , some with several buildings: In addition to the war memorial on the square in front of the church , these are property numbers 5 , 8 , 10 , 11 , 13 , 15 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 28 , 32 , 33 , Oberschänke (39) , Friedenskirche with the churchyard and the sandstone sculpture “ Chronos and the mourners ", Lutherhaus and Pfarrhaus (40) , 41 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , the old pharmacy (48) , 49 , 53 , the old forge (54) , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , the second Gasthof Goldener Anker (61) , 62 , the inn “Großes Weinstuben” (64) , 68 and the historic shepherd's house (70) .

With the church and the churchyard first mentioned in 1273, Altkötzschenbroda is probably the oldest building in Radebeul that can be dated. The two inns were mentioned in a document in 1497 as a brewery estate. The dates of the rectory and the shepherd's house (No. 70) go to the second half of the 17th century. A number of courtyards are dated 1724, 1739 and 1742. Most of the rest yard buildings, however, date back to 1805, when they were rebuilt after the last devastating village fire.

Naming

The street green was called Hauptstraße for a long time , while the eastern square in front of the church and the Oberschänke was called the market . In 1924, with the unification of the western Loessnitz localities to form a large community and then to form the town of Kötzschenbroda , the Anger in Naundorf was given the name Altnaundorf , after it had previously been called Hauptstrasse .

When it merged with Radebeul in 1935 to form the new town of Radebeul, the Kötzschenbrodaer Hauptstraße was renamed Altkötzschenbroda , while the street in the Radebeul district , which is still called Hauptstraße today, kept its name.

Residents and neighbors

Prescher's grave slab

Johann Samuel Gottlob Flemming , Augustin Prescher , Johann Gottlob Trautschold and Christophorus Bulaeus are known and worthy of mentioning of the numerous pastors who lived in the church property and the rectory . Flemming saved Kötzschenbroda from being pillaged by Napoleonic troops in 1812. Prescher was the host in 1645 at the negotiations on the armistice of Kötzschenbroda between Saxony and Sweden in the Thirty Years War . In addition, before he left office after 52 years of pastoral service, he managed not only to rebuild the place after the destruction of Altkötzenbroda (apart from three houses) by the Swedes in 1637, but also to have its elector Johann Georg I rebuild generously sponsored the church in the Renaissance style and commissioned his master builder Ezekiel Eckhardt to do this. Whenever he was on Hoflößnitz , the elector was parish priest in Kötzschenbroda to Prescher and then visited the church in Kötzschenbroda with the court. In Prescher's time, the Electoral Saxon Councilor and Secret Reich Secretary Anton Weck , who also took part in the armistice negotiations, owned several vineyards in the Loessnitz as well as a farm on the market (No. 32) .

At the beginning of the 19th century, more precisely in 1818, the future railway engineer and entrepreneur Wilhelm Eichler was born on the farm of his family ( No. 43/44 ), whom the Austrian Emperor ennobled with the title of Eichkron for his services .

In the 1980s, the entire area was planned for demolition due to its (partly consciously accepted) progressive decline: except for the Friedenskirche and the Oberschänke, the street tanger village was to be demolished and built with rows of prefabricated WBS 70 / 14.40 buildings be replaced.

In 1991 the area was declared a redevelopment area, but after extremely controversial debates it did not begin until after 1994. Although the solutions found were able to preserve the almost complete urban ensemble, new buildings and demolition new buildings were necessary. In this process, it was possible to rebuild ensembles that were important in terms of urban development, such as the “steam ship hotel” (of which practically only the surrounding walls had been preserved). It was also possible to regain practically destroyed interior spaces as well as lost exterior spaces in their historical and urban planning version: Recognized by various institutions across the region, the renovation of Altkötzschenbroda is one of the successful examples of a renovation process in terms of preservation, preservation, but also recovery of a village space in the middle an urban environment.

After the completion of the redevelopment works, the Anger Altkötzschenbroda has mainly been an event location since the 2000s with numerous restaurants, cafés and pubs, such as B. are listed in the list of historic inns in Radebeul . Other residents are the Radebeul Family Center (Altkötzschenbroda 20) and the Kulturschmiede with the city gallery, the city art collection and the Kötzschenbroda home parlor. As a large urban square, Altkötzschenbroda has supraregional importance, for example because the autumn and wine festival is celebrated there with visitors from all over Saxony and beyond. The decision to have it take place on the same weekend as the Meißen wine festival is a conscious one: the festivals complement each other and preserve their two characteristics. The Christmas market opens on the weekends in Advent.
