The Körnerweg in Dresden runs from Körnerplatz in Loschwitz downstream towards the city center on the right bank of the Elbe to Holzhofgasse . It is part of the Elberadweg . After a few hundred meters, the originally laid out narrow road ends at the property at Körnerweg 26 and narrows to a path. The trail is heavily used by hikers, walkers and cyclists. Due to its desolate condition, rough pavement with faults, chipped stones and joints with larger gaps from the Körnerplatz to the confluence of the Heilstättenweg, it is not suitable for walkers or wheelchair users, and cyclists prefer to push their bikes.

history

The Körnerweg was built before 1700 and, as a market path, connected the village of Loschwitz with the city of Altendresden (Dresden Neustadt). The traders and farmers brought their products into the city. A little later, residents, winegrowers, fishermen as well as craftsmen and artists settled on the hillside. In 1785 Christian Gottfried Körner (1756–1831), the father of the freedom fighter and national poet Theodor Körner , bought a plot of land with a vineyard and used it as a summer residence. At that time, the banks of the Elbe bordered directly on the large retaining walls that border the property in a flood-proof manner. A very narrow path still found space in between to the Elbe . In the age of industrialization, the Bomätscher (ship pullers) used the route to pull the Elbe barges. At the beginning of 1800 the narrow towpaths on both banks of the Elbe were paved with large-format sandstone slabs. With chain shipping in the 19th century, the dangerous and arduous work of the bomb raiders ended. The Körnerweg gained more and more importance with the constant growth of the city of Dresden . The name Körnerweg was first mentioned on records around 1895. Now it connected the newly created Radeberger suburb of Dresden directly. The path was widened around 1908, as it is today. In 1921 it was incorporated into Dresden. The Körnerweg was a topic of conversation in the Dresden city council, because the residents demanded the construction of a paved road up to Holzhofgasse. Today the name Körnerweg is an integral part of the deliberations in the city council, but still without any countable success. After the property at Körnerweg 26, the path narrows and continues as a path to Brockhausstraße and Eisenbornbach . The Körnerweg then widens and also splits into a footpath and a combined cycle and footpath. Later, the path to Radeberger Vorstadt ( Antonstadt ) or Innere Neustadt will continue to be referred to as Körnerweg. At the Prießnitzbach , the Körnerweg joins the Holzhofgasse towards the city. The further route to the city is called the Elberadweg.

description

The beginning of the Körnerweg from Körnerplatz in Loschwitz is flanked by two large buildings. In between the narrow street of the Körnerweg begins.

On the left there are two residential buildings, numbers 5 and 7, followed by an allotment garden section, here the Loschwitzer Wiesenweg joins the Körnerweg. This is followed at number 15 by a riding arena belonging to the Dresdner Sportverein Integrativesritt e. V. Adjacent to Körnerweg 23 is the Loschwitz Elbe harbor with the functional building of the motor water sports club "Elbe" Dresden e. V. as a user.

The historian and Royal Saxon Councilor Heinrich Theodor Flathe (1827–1900) lived on the right-hand side of the house at Körnerweg 2 . The Körnerweg 4 houses a guest house, Landhaus Maria am Blauen Wunder . Particularly noteworthy is the Körnerhaus, built around 1784, Körnerweg 6, the summer residence of the Christian Gottfried Körner family. In addition to many guests, above all artists such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , Ludwig Tieck , Elisa von der Recke and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart , Friedrich Schiller also stayed there from 1785 to 1787 and probably had the most carefree time of his life with the Körner family. A small memorial commemorates the poet Theodor Körner.

The neighboring building, Körnerweg 8, is reminiscent of the vineyard tradition with its architectural style. It was built around 1808 in place of the vineyard gazebo built around 1609 and rebuilt in 1909 with Art Nouveau elements. The keystone with the inscription JSR (Johann Samuel Ro tall) was adopted. The professor at the arts and crafts school and glass art painter Bruno Goller lived here for a time .

The court actress and honorary member of the stage and professor of acting Pauline Ulrich (1835-1916) once lived in number 12 .

The Dresden sculptor Bruno Fischer lived in the house at Körnerweg 16 ; his best-known work is the Nymphenbrunnen on the Bürgerwiese in Dresden. The Loschwitz waterworks was built around 1873 on the property at Körnerweg 24, made available by the mining director Karl Friedrich Engler. The summer restaurant (café) OS2 is located in Körnerweg 24A . The building at Körnerweg 26 was built by the founder Ludwig Adolf Böhme and was used as a convalescent home and medical center for the Dresden Deaconess Hospital from 1917 . The confluence of the Mordgrundwasser and the Heilstättenweg cross the Körnerweg. This is followed by two vineyards and the property walls of the three Elbe castles on the Elbe side . The former municipal waterworks Saloppe is already reached. This is where Brockhausstrasse begins and the Eisenbornbach flows into the Elbe. Next to the mouth of the stream is the Klengelkugel from the former vineyard of the Oberland master builder Wolf Caspar von Klengel . Along the Körnerweg there are memorial sites and memorial reliefs on the property walls. After about 500 meters in the direction of the city from the Saloppe, there is the grain memorial created around 1938 by the Dresden sculptor Gustav Reißmann on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of his death. It was inaugurated on October 26, 1938 and depicts scenes from the wars of liberation of the Lützow hunters . The original pillared vestibule was removed by the Ministry for State Security in 1968 , and visual contact with the Ministry's premises was disturbed. After another 50 meters, the Loschwitz district ends and the Radeberger Vorstadt district begins .

The Körnerweg then runs under the Waldschlößchenbrücke and is tangent to the Oberkiesweg before and after the bridge. Finally, the Körnerweg comes to the former fiscal disembarkation points and reaches its end at Hofzhofgasse. Here it is possible to cross the Elbe with the Dresden Transport Authority ferry to the Johannstadt district .

Stonemason's mark

The stonemason's marks are a common mark used by craftsmen to document their work. They enable conclusions to be drawn about the construction work and also about the building history of historical building sites. Stonemason's marks consist of simple graphic marks for marking, which are based on the structure of a simple line or later in the form of symbols, letters. A distinction must be made between the master cross and the stone displacement mark. At that time, stonemason's marks were also used as a feature, monogram or guarantee mark in order to also prove the number of pieces, grade and quality of the stones.

Around 1800 the paths of the Bomätscher on the banks of the Elbe were paved with sandstone paving. Remnants and rubble stones from the nearby sandstone quarries were used. Most of the stones were adjusted and relocated on site. Some craftsmen left their marks and markings during the paving work. However, some have been destroyed by unplanned changes and can no longer be found. The stones with the inscriptions "eb 1.1.11" are also interesting; “CH 8.7.1948”, as well as “SH 25.5.1953” or the multiple identifier of the character “HM”. These significant historical signs are testimony to the craftsmanship of the time and should be taken into account in an upcoming renovation.

Planned renovation

The Körnerweg leads through the Elbe slopes , the protected landscape area d65 Dresden Elbe meadows and altars and the Fauna-Flora-Habitat 34E Elbe Valley between Schöna and Mühlberg . As a result, issues of monument protection, landscape protection and nature conservation have to be taken into account when renovating.

The beginning of the Körnerweg from Körnerplatz is paved with a pavement and changes a little later with an asphalt surface. After the property at Körnerweg 16, the pavement changes to sandstone paving, which presumably dates from the 19th century. However, its condition is in great need of renovation. The path had to be repaired for several years. Except for a sample of around 100 meters, little has been implemented so far. For the sample, sandstone facing bricks were laid in concrete. After the first winter, the first frost damage was already evident. It was also suggested that the path should be covered with asphalt. This could be colored, like the yellow paths in the Great Garden . During the renovation work, the sandstones marked with inscriptions and stonemason marks could be relocated at rest areas, thus preserving the tradition of the path.
