The Dresden Road is a city road in the district town Freital ( District Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains ). It is around 4.5 kilometers long and one of the most important routes for road traffic in Freital .
course
The Dresdner Straße ( state road S 194 ) runs through the valley of the United Weißeritz in the Döhlen basin and connects the central parts of the city of Freitals. It essentially follows the course of the river. Dresdner Strasse begins at the Freital city limits to Dresden as a continuation of Tharandter Strasse on the part of the state capital. From there it runs in a south-westerly direction through the Potschappel district . There it crosses the Oberpesterwitzer and Richard-Wagner-Strasse, among others. Then it runs through the Potschappler Zentrum, past the “Platz des Handwerks” to the Potschappler Markt, where it connects to Coschützer Straße . At the confluence with Wilsdruffer Straße (S 36), Dresdner Straße merges into the Döhlen district . About two hundred meters further on, it crosses Lutherstrasse and the Platz des Friedens. From there the road leads through Neudöhlen , past the Freital glassworks in the direction of Deuben . The confluence of Schachtstrasse is before the border to this district, shortly afterwards the “Neumarkt” is passed.
In Deuben, Dresdner Straße initially has an intersection with Hütten- / Poisentalstraße, at this point the S 36 changes to Poisentalstraße and continues towards Possendorf . The Dresdner Straße continues its course through the center of Deuben , past the Deuben Town Hall and the Freital Clinic . In the Hainsberg district , she passes the Hainsberg paper mill . Dresdner Straße ends in Hainsberg at the intersection with Rabenauer Straße (S 193), S 194 continues as “ Tharandter Straße” to the city limits.
history
A well-developed connecting route between the towns of Potschappel and Deuben was laid out in the 16th century on behalf of Hans Biener. In 1542 he had received the privilege to mine hard coal in the Döhlen basin and needed the connection to bring the coal extracted to Dresden. The subsequent sections of today's Dresdner Straße were also paved and made into a roadway so that the silver mined in the Ore Mountains could be brought from Freiberg to Dresden. This means that Dresdner Straße is part of a connection between the Ore Mountains and the state capital called Silberstraße . Between 1809 and 1812 the road to Tharandt was expanded. The expansion of today's “Tharandter Straße” through the Plauenschen Grund started in the middle of the 18th century. Before that, the roads ran through Pesterwitz or Coschütz into the royal seat.
The industrialization resulted in the communities of the basin Döhlener to increased levels of traffic with respect to goods and passenger transport. The street was continuously widened and bottlenecks defused by demolishing buildings. In 1902, a tram line was built from Plauen to Deuben, and Dresdner Strasse was mainly fitted with double-track fixtures in the cobblestones. In Deuben, a tram depot was built on the site of today's bus station . It was extended to Hainsberg by 1906 and to Coßmannsdorf until 1912 .
The Albertsbahn AG route from Dresden to Tharandt , which was opened in 1855, crossed Dresdner Strasse at ground level at the beginning of the 20th century. In order to disentangle the dense and mutually hindering traffic flows, the raising of the railway line began in 1901 .
Deuben, Döhlen and Potschappel merged to form the city of Freital in 1921, when the three communities along Dresdner Strasse had long since grown together structurally. Dresdner Strasse was divided into a lower and an upper section. The "Untere Dresdner Straße" ran from the city limits of Dresden to between the confluences of Wilsdruffer / Hauptstraße (today Lutherstraße). There it went into the longer “Obere Dresdner Straße”. The division was lifted in 1964 and Dresdner Strasse was renumbered along its entire length.
In the 1970s, the operation of the tram line was no longer profitable, so that on May 26, 1974, the last tram from Hainsberg ran. The stops along Dresdner Straße were from now on used by buses. A year later, extensive renovation work began on Dresdner Strasse. The tracks and overhead lines were expanded, the cobblestones replaced by a black ceiling. In April 1976 the work had progressed to Neudöhlen in the area between the glass factory and Schachtstrasse. Some former concrete catenary masts of the tram are still in use as lampposts today.
After 1990 the street was completely renovated again. Due to the concentration of retail in supermarkets and shopping centers (e.g. Weißeritz-Park , Elbe-Park ) as well as the poor quality of stay along the four-lane main traffic axis, which is heavily used by increasing motorized traffic, business life along Dresdner Strasse was neglected. In addition, there was the poor fabric of the adjacent buildings. At the turn of the millennium, construction of a bypass road began to relieve the city center . The first part between the entrance from Dresden and Deuben was completed in 2006, an extension to Tharandter Straße in Hainsberg is planned.
From 2010 to 2015, Dresdner Straße was narrowed in the part between Potschappel and Deuben, which has meanwhile been relieved of the bypass road, by planted bays and green traffic islands on Neumarkt and Platz des Handwerks to almost continuously one lane in each direction. The aim was, on the one hand, to calm traffic in the city center of Freetal and, on the other, to create parking spaces for the benefit of the dealers. After the renovations were completed, it was criticized that the side indentations and the additional parking areas had taken the space for a cycle lane. This was demanded by an action group in the city, since there are hardly any useful alternative routes for cyclists and their road safety along the road is viewed as inadequate.
Development
At the beginning of Dresdner street on the border of Dresden, which was built in 1828 is Einnehmerhaus where earlier Wegzoll be paid for the maintenance of the road had. Today it is considered an important monument of Saxon transport history and is used as an exhibition space for an art association. The development changes towards the center of Potschappel, with four to five-story Wilhelminian - style houses predominating on both sides of the street . The highlight in Potschappel is the town hall , which was built in 1903/1904 and is now the headquarters of the Freital city administration. However, there are also industrial buildings on Dresdner Strasse, for example the building of the former Hofemühle in Potschappel. Other houses in this area that characterize the street scene are the former HO department store on the corner of Oberpesterwitzer Strasse (Dresdner Strasse 40, built in 1927), the Gasthof zum Goldenen Löwen (1908/1909) and across from the Girozentrale Sachsen (Turnerstrasse 1 / Dresdner Strasse 88).
In the 1990s, a modern office building was erected on the corridor border to Deuben, which houses the main savings bank in Freitals, among other things. More Wilhelminian-style buildings follow along the street. At the corner of today's Lutherstrasse, the "Döhlener Hof" was built in 1912, which has been home to the "Stadtkulturhaus Freital" since 1952 and which still shapes this area today. The following course of the Dresdner Straße through Neudöhlen first leads you past the factory premises of the glassworks, opposite, in the 1930s, uniformly designed workers' houses were built. The Rote Mühle , which was mentioned for the first time in 1596 and was the only building on this parcel of Neudöhlen before the workers' settlement was built, stood at this point. Opposite the entrance to the glass works is the “Capitol” cinema (formerly the Maxim Gorki film theater ), which is currently no longer in operation. Extensive demolition work after 2000 created a large city park around the cinema, which was designed with a fountain.
After 1921, the city administration endeavored to give the new city, which had grown together from villages, a representative center. The construction of some large administration buildings began around Neumarkt, so in 1927 the seat of the local health insurance (today used by the police), a tax office and a " town house " on the corner of today's Leßkestrasse were built on Dresdner Strasse . It was primarily intended for a large department store and several doctor's offices. In addition, ten luxury apartments were to be built. The construction of a new central post office was planned next door, but due to the uncertain economic situation, like all other planned buildings in this area, it was not realized. The construction of a new town hall on the meadow towards the Weißeritz also failed. To this day, the plans for a city center at this point have not been given up. In the 1990s, an investor built the “City Center” opposite the town hall, and from 2011 to 2013 a “ technology and start-up center ” was built on Neumarkt.
Until 2011, the “ Saxon Wolf ” stood on the corner of Dresdner Strasse and Poisentalstrasse , known in GDR times as the “Club of Stainless Steel Workers”. He shaped the streetscape in this abandoned area. It was recently used by different tenants. The area is to be developed with the Neumarkt area towards the city center. As it continues through Deuben, Dresdner Strasse passes a number of distinctive structures, including a row of six buildings (Dresdner Strasse 190-200), which, along with a few other houses on the street, is a listed building. At the intersection of Mozartstrasse is the Deuben Town Hall , built in 1888 and today a branch of the city administration. It is the smallest and also the oldest of the three town halls of the founding districts. In the past, the “Krönertbrunnen” stood in front of the town hall.
In the further course of the street, Wilhelminian-style houses and smaller residential buildings alternate on both sides of the street; after 2006, two supermarkets with a large parking lot were built at the Krönertstraße intersection on the site of the former municipal trade school . In Deuben-Süd, rows of houses were erected in prefabricated construction during GDR times , and these stretch as far as Hainsberg. There are loose factory and administration buildings for the paper factory and the Hainsberg metal works. In addition, the Hainsberg train station is located here with a small park and forecourt. At the end of the street in the center of Hainsberg, the development becomes denser again.
traffic
The Dresdner Straße is still four lanes in large sections, it is partially narrowed by parking bays on the side. There is no continuous lane for cyclists, only between the Deuben-Hainsberg border and Rabenauer Straße there are cycle lanes on both sides of the street. There are footpaths on both sides, which have been supplemented with tree planting as a calming measure.
For the bus routes of the regional traffic Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains (RVSOE) the Dresdner Straße is an important connection route to the outer Freitaler districts. All six city bus lines A – F run across the street, with line A largely following the course of the tram line. Some regional bus lines of the RVSOE and the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe also run along the road. The bus routes go to ten stops along Dresdner Strasse. In addition, the Deuben bus station is accessed via Dresdner Straße.
