Dresden-East

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
City hall Blasewitz , former seat of the council of the city district Dresden-Ost

Dresden-Ost was a district of Dresden from 1957 to 1991 , which included large parts of the east of the then urban area on both sides of the Elbe. The seat of the council of the city district was the town hall Blasewitz on Naumannstrasse. At the head of the city district administration stood a city district mayor.

location

The eastern border of the Dresden-Ost city district is identical to the outer city boundary at that time. Today it corresponds to the border line between the Loschwitz district and the town of Schönfeld-Weißig south of the Todmühle . In the southeast, between the Borsberg and the Dresden-Süd substation on Heidenauer Strasse, the border of the former city district runs along today's city limits - on the right side of the Elbe to Pirna (then Graupa or Birkwitz ) and to the left of the Elbe to Heidenau . From the substation to the level of Dohnaer Straße / Langer Weg, it was largely identical to the northern boundary line of today's statistical district of Lockwitz . From there it continued along the Lange Weg and then the Děčín – Dresden-Neustadt railway to Basteiplatz. Between the substation and Basteiplatz, the Dresden-Süd district bordered to the west .

Between the Basteiplatz and the banks of the Elbe at Lothringer Weg, the Dresden-Mitte district was adjacent to the west . Specifically, the border ran from Basteiplatz first along Karcherallee to just before Comeniusstrasse, which it then followed to Schneebergstrasse. In this area it corresponded roughly to the western and northern boundary of Gruna . From the confluence of Heynahtsstrasse, the city district border continued north, just east of Hepkeplatz and then further along Bergmannstrasse and Eilenburger Strasse. There it initially corresponded roughly to the border between today's statistical districts 537 Striesen-Süd (Hepkeplatz) and 538 Striesen-Süd (Glashütter Strasse) and further north, in the area of ​​Rosa-Menzer- / Lene-Glatzer-Strasse, roughly the border between the statistical districts of Striesen-Ost and Striesen-West. The border between Friedensplatz and Käthe-Kollwitz-Ufer was largely identical to the current border between the statistical districts of 511 Blasewitz (Händelallee) and 513 Blasewitz (Waldpark) on the one hand and 512 Blasewitz (Schillerplatz) on the other. The Schillerplatz was thus just inside, the Blasewitz Forest Park, on the other hand, was already outside the city district. The northern border from the Saloppe waterworks to the starting point of this description, the Todmühle, formed the border with Dresden-Nord and corresponds to the southern border between the Dresden Heath and today's statistical districts of Bühlau / Weißer Hirsch and Loschwitz / Wachwitz .

As a result, the Dresden-East district comprised the entire current Leuben district plus Niedersedlitz , most of the Blasewitz district (except for the statistical districts 511 and 513 in the Blasewitz , Striesen- West and almost all of Striesen-Süd, which belonged to Dresden-Mitte ) and the Loschwitz district with the exception of the Dresden Heath, which was then part of Dresden-Nord.

history

On May 14, 1957, the Dresden city council decided to reduce the number of city districts from nine to five. The city district of Dresden-Ost was then created in June 1957 through the amalgamation of parts of several smaller city districts that were only formed in 1950. This involved the entire district II with the districts Loschwitz , Weißer Hirsch , Bühlau , Rochwitz , Wachwitz , Niederpoyritz , Blasewitz and Neugruna as well as the east of Striesen. Then there was the district III, complete with the exception of Lockwitz and Klein- and Großluga , to which Tolkewitz , Laubegast , Hosterwitz , Pillnitz , Oberpoyritz , Söbrigen , Zschieren , Kleinzschachwitz , Meusslitz , Großzschachwitz , Niedersedlitz and Leuben belonged. The areas of Gruna , Seidnitz and Dobritz from the former district IV rounded off the new district of Dresden-Ost. At the time of its founding, the Dresden-East district had around 119,000 inhabitants.

From the five Dresden city districts of the GDR era, ten smaller units were formed in 1991 to make it easier for the residents to identify and to ensure closer proximity to the citizens. The name city ​​district was replaced by local office area in order to distinguish itself from the nomenclature of the GDR era. Since 2018 it has been called the city district again. The districts of Loschwitz, Leuben and Blasewitz as well as Prohlis , to which Niedersedlitz belongs today, extend over the area of ​​the Dresden-Ost district .

District court Dresden-Ost

For each of the five Dresden city districts as well as the Dresden-Land district , a district court was responsible as the initial instance of ordinary jurisdiction. The district court Dresden-Ost had its seat in the courthouse on Sachsenplatz in the Johannstadt, in which since 1956 also the higher district court Dresden was housed.

The district court of Dresden-Ost existed until June 30, 1990, after which the district court of Dresden-Mitte took over responsibility for all five city districts and the district and handed them over to the Dresden district court on December 31, 1992 .
