Location and development

Altwahnsdorf: Village green in the left half of the picture to the cross street An der Wetterwarte on the right. In the center of the picture downwards going down Spitzhausstraße.

Wahnsdorf represents the north-easternmost district of Radebeul, on the highlands east of the Lößnitzgrund . At the upper end of the village ground coming from the west , the ascent from the Lößnitzgrund, after a short stretch of narrow street already called Altwahnsdorf, the actual Anger is located as two east-west oriented streets that enclose a rectangular Anger. From there, Altwahnsdorf runs eastwards as a road to a crossroads, where Boxdorfer Straße branches off to the northeast as a connection to Boxdorf , Graue-Presse-Weg to the east and Haußigstraße to the south.

The address numbers start at that intersection in the east: the odd numbers are on the south side, the even numbers on the north side. On the route back to Anger, the street An der Wetterwarte branches off to the north behind the former weather station Wahnsdorf (Altwahnsdorf 12) built by Paul Schreiber , then on the south side comes Schulstrasse and then on the north side Reichenberger Strasse, the connection to Reichenberg . Immediately afterwards Spitzhausstraße branches off to the south, the approach to Spitzhaus . On the eastern edge of the Angers are house numbers 51 and 56. On the western edge are numbers 77 and 82. At Altwahnsdorf 77 the Rieselgrundweg branches off to the south-west , from which the Gartenweg branches off to the east and the Pfeifferweg to the west; this leads to the mountain inn "Zum Pfeiffer" . From number 82 in the northwest, the even house numbers run in alternation on both sides of the street to Altwahnsdorf 96, where the village ground and the Langenwiesenweg begin.

On the Anger itself, the Albertstein stands on a small green island in the east . After a cross street, there is property no. 65 with the old school. Then comes the fishing pond; to the south of it stands the Wahnsdorf war memorial . After a narrow cross street, the rest of the Angers with the houses Altwahnsdorf 69, 73, 76, 78 and 80 is built on.

Some of the buildings there are under monument protection and are therefore also on the list of cultural monuments in Radebeul-Wahnsdorf : In addition to the Albertstein and the war memorial, these are house no. 42 and the four-sided courtyard no. 44 on both sides of Reichenberger Straße. Then on the south side the gate system Altwahnsdorf 63 from 1769 and on the north side the courtyards Altwahnsdorf 66 and 86. Further to the east at the former meteorological station there is a triangulation pillar of the Royal Saxon Triangulation .

Naming

The settlement around the Anger was first mentioned in a document in 1350 as a Wahendorf . The street green was called Hauptstraße for a long time in modern times . The name Altwahnsdorf was dedicated in 1934 when the municipality of Wahnsdorf was incorporated into the city of Radebeul .
