At the ferry house

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Until 1954, Am Fährhaus was the only district on the left Elbe in the Saxon city ​​of Radebeul , which since then has exclusively been on the right of the Elbe . Since 1997 the area has belonged to Dresden as the Weiherwiesen of the Niederwartha district .

The fragment of a record dated December 28, 1519 reports the acquisition of a good 43  hectares of meadows on the left Elbe by the municipality of Kötzschenbroda from the Weinböhlaer Ambrosius Förster. The fragment was found by local historian Adolf Schruth in the Kötzschenbrodaer parish archive.

This enclave on the left Elbe , known as pond meadows , was needed because, due to the large number of farms and the extensive viticulture down to the plains, arable and meadow areas were rare, so that too little forage was available in the late Middle Ages and early modern times . For this reason, a large piece of bushland around Lindenau had already been acquired in 1463 , which was later to become Kötzschenbroda Oberort . The left Elbe meadows of Kötzschenbroda were divided into the parcels of The Dreizipfel , The Eichweiher , The Hintersträucher , The New and The Large Meadows .

For centuries, a large part of the winter fodder for the Kötzschenbroda cattle came from the pond meadows . Large parts of the village were busy harvesting hay, and the Niederwartha ferrymen did good business with transporting the hay across the Elbe. Kötzschenbroda was only allowed to maintain a barge ferry for people and pushing jacks, a special type of wheelbarrow that used to be used to transport goods to the market. This boat ferry was located at river kilometer 68.3, was first mentioned in 1803 and discontinued around 1914. If the ferry failed due to high or low water, kilometers of detours were necessary, which was only done with the construction of the Niederwarthaer Elbe bridge and the clearance for car traffic in 1876.

When the small left Elbe village of Gruna was dissolved in 1569 , farm owners from the Naundorf on the right Elbe, bordering Kötzschenbroda, acquired a total of around 10 hectares of meadow as private property, which was directly southwest of the Weiherwiesen . In later times this corridor was referred to as the meadow corridor by Naundorf.

The Kötzschenbrodas area on the left Elbe bordered in the north-east directly on the Elbe by a nearly 100-meter-narrow strip of fiscal pasture hedge, then on Niedergohliser and in the south-east and south on Cossebauder Flur. This was followed by about 100 meters of the border with Niederwartha in the south, until the Naundorf part began. Apart from Niederwartha, the Naundorf part only bordered on the left and right Elbe areas of Kötzschenbroda, i.e. it was spatially separated from the main part of the Naundorf community, since Naundorf only had a small tip further downstream at the confluence of the old Schindergraben with the Elbe on the border with Kötitz touches the Elbe itself.

During flood events such as the Elbe flood in 1845 , the entire left Elbe area of ​​the Lößnitz communities was under water. This also affected a survey recorded as “der Gemeinde-Hübel” in old maps.

Later on, Kötzschenbroda built a small ferry house on the left bank.

During the construction of the Elbe crossing for the Berlin-Dresden railway between 1873 and 1875, the area for the right bank embankment and bridgehead could easily be acquired by the municipality of Kötzschenbroda. However, the areas on the left side of the Elbe had to be bought together by the individual Naundorf owners. Thus the Niederwarthaer Elbe bridge was originally located on both sides in the Radebeul area. Soon after the bridge was built, an inn , the Bahnschlösschen , was built in the Naundorf enclave .

With the 20th century, the meadows lost their importance for Kötzschenbroda. During the First World War , part of the pond meadows was leased. This resulted in a small animal breeding facility with an attached restaurant called Reidl's Hof , which competed with the Bahnschlösschen .

Around half of the pond meadows, including Reidl's Hof , were used in 1927/28 to build the reservoir for the newly built Niederwartha pumped storage plant.

A first discussion about the value of the corridors on the left Elbe was held in 1931 in the Kötzschenbroda City Council . Since the unification of Radebeul and Kötzschenbroda in 1935, the area was part of the city of Radebeul. For the Radebeul people who lived on the left bank, belonging to Radebeul after the Second World War meant that they received more generous food rations than their neighbors. In 1952, the subject of the Am Fährhaus district on the left Elbe was put on the agenda of the Radebeul city council, with the result that the area to Niederwartha should be refluxed, among other things due to the destruction of the road bridge in 1945. This happened with effect from April 1, 1954, which ended almost 435 years of left Elbe ownership.

After Niederwartha was incorporated in 1974, the area belonged to the municipality of Cossebaude , which in turn has been part of the state capital of Dresden since July 1, 1997 . Comparable cases of such circumferences in Dresden are the nearby Neu-Leuteritz and Neugruna .
