Finstere Gasse (Radebeul)
The Dark Alley is a city road the Saxon town of Radebeul , situated in the district Niederlößnitz . The narrow, medieval Berggasse begins right at the foot of the steep slope of the Lusatian Fault on the Obere Bergstrasse and crosses the ascent in a north-northwest direction to the Höhenweg. From there it extends in the Kötzschenbroda-Oberort district in a northerly direction ( 51 ° 7 ′ 4 ″ N , 13 ° 38 ′ 32.8 ″ E ) until it meets Obere Burgstrasse .
Location and development
The steep Berggasse, which is signposted as a dead end street at the bottom of the mountain , is located in the major Saxon vineyard location Lößnitz within the individual vineyard Radebeuler Steinrücke , in the landscape conservation area Lößnitz and in the historic vineyard landscape in Radebeul . It rises from about 143 m to almost 205 m above sea level. NHN at the intersection with the Höhenweg.
The Finstere Gasse is the eastern border of the Minckwitz vineyard, which is protected as a whole as well as a work of landscape and garden design . Altenberg , located between Oberer Bergstrasse, Finsterer Gasse and Gemssteig , a previous name owned by Hans Müntzmeister, appeared in the Dresden city register in 1407. In 1412 Margrave Friedrich the Peaceful lent the Altenberg and Taschen vineyards to the Council of Dresden.
At the northern end of the vineyard, at 5 Finstere Gasse, is the site of Winzerhaus Erdmann , the former upper winery of the winery, which was separated from it in 1933 . This was built in 1724 in place of a previous building there on Finsteren Gasse.
On the right-hand side of the alley (the numbering starts at the bottom of Obere Bergstrasse) is the listed property Finstere Gasse 2 directly on Obere Bergstrasse . The associated vineyard was owned by the bishop until 1573 and was then sold; in the following years he was called "zum Schöne Knecht". Halfway up are the listed buildings of the former Finstere Gasse 4 winery .
At the top of the slope there is then modern development.
In GDR times, Finstere Gasse was under monument protection as a monument to cultural history from 1973 at the latest (category: monument areas [ensembles] and streets). After the fall of the Wall, the ensemble protection of the street was given up, but today the above-mentioned properties are listed as cultural monuments with specific addresses (partly as individual monuments, the Minckwitz vineyard with buildings as a whole and as a work of landscape and garden design).
Naming
The name Finstere Gasse was mentioned in a document as early as 1652. The name remained in the following centuries, only slight modifications such as in the 19th century to Finstergasse are documented.
Today's Fiedlergrund , which was named Finstergrund or Finsterer Grund in the 16th century, has a similar name to Finstere Gasse in the east of Oberlößnitz .
Residents
The art historian Wolfgang Balzer lived in Finsteren Gasse 2 next to the numerous residents of the Minckwitzschen Weinberg estate, which is listed at Obere Bergstrasse .
Between 1878 and 1913, the Sennhütte was operated on the property of No. 4 , a drinks bar in the middle of the Loessnitz vineyards .
