Butter Street

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
sketch

The Butterstrasse is an old trade route that leads from Dresden into the Ore Mountains . It runs through the districts of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains and Central Saxony .

history

This street was built before Dresden came up in the early 17th century. Its course can already be determined on the Berlin miles sheets , which were created around 1800. Several stone signposts, like the one at Höckendorf on the branching off road to Obercunnersdorf from 1835, bear witness to the age of the road. The road was of great importance for the mountain dwellers, who brought the butter they produced to Dresden , but also wood, hay, oats, flax, linen and linseed oil.

The street begins in Dresden and runs through the former independent villages of Potschappel , Deuben and Coßmannsdorf in the city of Freital . At Freital-Coßmannsdorf, the Tharandter Straße runs over a section today and leaves the Butterstraße at the traffic lights, where it runs over the Wilde Weißeritz over the Somsdorfer Straße , the Alten Berg and the Höckendorfer Straße through Somsdorf . From Somsdorf further on, Butterstrasse is now called Höckendorfer Strasse . In the midst of the fields on the height, the Alte Meißner Straße (formerly "Tharandter Sträsgen") joins the street when coming from Seifersdorf . The road continues over the height at a stone signpost down to Höckendorf, where it meets the district road from Borlas to Höckendorf at the lowest houses in the village of "Am Wald" and continues through the village of Höckendorf to the intersection of the road to Edle Krone Via Tharandter Straße , the Kleine Straße soon leads to Possendorf at the Erbgericht and the church path from Borlas that follows it. Shortly afterwards it goes over the renamed parts of the street Dippoldiswalder Straße , Mittelweg and Frauenstraße with the course of Butterstraße. Now this continues as a field path, crosses the district road from Höckendorf to Obercunnersdorf and splits with a parallel path, which is also called Firstenweg and Butterstraße, until both come together again shortly before Pretzschendorf. The other goes above the Wilden Weißeritz on the district road from Beerwalde to Pretzschendorf , where it goes today to Pretzschendorf. Both parallel paths cross the Wilde Weißeritz again. In Pretzschendorf the Butterstraße splits at the former inn in the village. One road goes via Friedersdorf and Burkersdorf to Frauenstein , the other via Oberbobritzsch to Lichtenberg and on to Marienberg .

The 3.1 kilometer long road between Somsdorf and Höckendorf is to be upgraded as an asphalt bike path .
