history

Watchtower ruin

Weinböhla was first mentioned in 1349/50 in the feudal book of Friedrich des Strengen as "Bel", derived from the Old Sorbian "bela" (white, light). This original place name can be traced back to the sunny hillside location and the predominant heather sand soils. The old St. Martin's Church was probably built in the middle of the town center at this time . As it was then, it still has the shape of a Sorbian round today , later the settlements expanded to the north as an expanded square village.

The place received the suffix " Wein- " for the first time in 1513, as wine was already being grown here thanks to the favorable climatic conditions on the south-facing slope . After changing the spelling of the place name several times, the community has always been referred to as " Weinböhla " since 1692 .

On June 6, 1551, many houses burned down during a severe thunderstorm. The flames blazed so high and persistently that they were called the great fiery dragon . The incident went down as number 42 in the sagas of the Kingdom of Saxony by Johann Georg Theodor Grässer .

In addition to agriculture and viticulture, lime mining was of great importance between 1793 and 1870.

From the end of the nineteenth century, the place began to develop in its current structure. Between 1890 and the beginning of the First World War , Weinböhla experienced enormous construction activity, with the entire upper part of the village being built.

The inexpensive building land, the proximity to Dresden and Meißen , the beautiful scenic location and the already at that time favorable transport connections motivated many well-off people to settle here. The Imperial Health Department Berlin recommended Weinböhla as a climatic health resort .

After the consequences of the war and inflation had been overcome, the new town hall and two new residential areas were built in 1927 . In 1931 Weinböhla was directly connected to the state capital Dresden by the tram connection. The asparagus cultivation in the 1920s and 30s and the intensive fruit and vegetable cultivation up to the present day were also very important . The delivery area of the resident companies extended to Berlin .

St. Martin's Church

Weinböhla has been involved in extensive construction work since 1990 to create a modern infrastructure , to renovate the old town center and to implement a new traffic concept.

The redesign of the town hall square, comfortable accommodation and leisure facilities as well as a large number of new residential buildings make the place more and more attractive for guests and residents.

After the reconstruction of the central inn , the foundation stone for the new foyer was laid on August 1, 1997, an event center of national importance has again been available here since 1999.

On the occasion of the 650th anniversary of Weinböhla, the Weinböhla local chronicle was published during the anniversary festival week.

From the smoke of this fire rose a great, fiery dragon, which flew towards the Elbe and could be seen in the vicinity for a long time.
