history
Middle Ages and Modern Times
Kesselsdorf was founded as a Slavic settlement. The first documentary mention was made on February 9, 1223 in a court file in which a Gerhardus von Kesselsdorf is mentioned. He was a knight on Kesselsdorf and was subordinate to the Dresden Castrum in the Margraviate of Meißen . At the beginning of the Hussite Wars (1419–1439), Kesselsdorf was almost completely destroyed. However, it has been handed down again for 1421 that a local inheritance tavern owned the brewing and serving rights. In the 16th century, Kesselsdorf was subordinate to the Dresden office. During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) Kesselsdorf was again plundered several times, in 1632 the Swedes invaded the place. At the end of the 17th century, the plague in Kesselsdorf claimed 36 lives in three months.
The village gained national fame through the battle of Kesselsdorf , which was fought on December 15, 1745 between Prussian troops and the armies of Austria and the Electorate of Saxony . It was part of the Second Silesian War and ultimately decided this conflict in Prussia's favor. In Kesselsdorf itself, the battle did not cause any major damage, but left around 14,000 dead or injured. In the second half of the 18th century the place belonged partly to the Prokurationsamt Meißen and the Religionsamt Dresden.

In the middle of the 19th century Kesselsdorf was subordinate to the Grillenburg office and from 1856 to the Wilsdruff court office. From 1875 the administration was then incumbent on the Meißen district administration . Before Kesselsdorf was given independence as a rural community by the Saxon rural community order in 1838, the place was characterized by the feudal system . So farmed in 1551 26 possessed man and 16 Inwohner 21 3 / 4 hooves on which the cathedral chapter Meissen and the Council to Dresden-Altstadt, the basic rule exercised. After the Seven Years' War the village was partly an official village, the remaining part was the Dresden Religious Office. Kesselsdorf 22 owned and 12 men were currently living Häusler 24 hooves each of 30 bushels.
In 1878, the third school building in Kesselsdorf replaced the building from 1782. On March 1, 1886, Kesselsdorf became the seat of a post office. It had a telephone connection. Kesselsdorf was connected to the rail network on October 1, 1886. The narrow-gauge railway Freital-Potschappel-Nossen now connected the place with Potschappel in the Döhlen basin and Wilsdruff and from 1899 also with Nossen . Economic development in the region had already begun with industrialization . As a result of the coal mining industry, the Döhlen basin developed into the “valley of work”, and many Kesselsdorfers found employment in the factories of the industrial villages. Along with the economic upturn, there was also a significant increase in the population of the place. In 56 years, from 1834 to 1890, the number of people in Kesselsdorf doubled. Despite these developments, the rural structures in Kesselsdorf and the surrounding towns have been preserved.
20./21. century
Cultural life also continued to develop, so in 1900 the first Kesselsdorf gymnastics club was founded. The forest hoof village Kesselsdorf was surrounded this year by a 388 hectare forest hoof field. On March 17, 1907, the Kesselsdorf volunteer fire department was founded . The population of the municipality continued to rise to 855 in 1910.
In the First World War 25 men were killed in Kesselsdorf, the Second World War killed 58 people. After the collapse of the Third Reich , Kesselsdorf first became part of the Soviet occupation zone and later the GDR . In the socialist state the place was assigned to the district of Dresden in 1950, but in the territorial reform of 1952 the community came to the newly formed district of Freital in the district of Dresden . The farmers in the village aligned themselves with agriculture in the GDR . On April 20, 1960, LPG Type I "Weit Blick" was founded. This was connected to the Podemuser LPG "Karl Marx" in 1972 . In 1966 the local Kesselsdorf brewery , which was mentioned in 1621, ceased operations. On May 27, 1972, the last train ran on the narrow-gauge line. While the number of inhabitants rose consistently until the post-war period (peak in 1950 with 1068 inhabitants), the number of people living in Kesselsdorf decreased to 626 by 1990.
After the German reunification in 1989, Kesselsdorf became an independent municipality part of the Freital district in the re-established Free State of Saxony. Two years later the place was completely connected to the water supply. In 1990, the first new industrial area in Saxony and a large residential area around a new town center with a town hall opened in Kesselsdorf, which, in contrast to the old town, took on the character of a Dresden outskirts. The new buildings again ensured population growth. This trend continued for the entire community until around the turn of the millennium, the core town of Kesselsdorf continued to grow to 3,407 inhabitants in 2011.
On March 1, 1994, Kesselsdorf and the community of Braunsdorf (with the districts of Kleinopitz and Oberhermsdorf incorporated on January 1, 1973) were combined to form the new community of Kesselsdorf. This joined the administrative association Landberg on May 9, 1994 and was assigned to the Weißeritz district on August 1, 1994 . After Grumbach left the administrative association, it broke up on October 1, 1998. After a referendum, Kesselsdorf was incorporated into Wilsdruff on August 1, 2001. The original place Kesselsdorf received the status of a village, Braunsdorf (in its scope from 1994) was detached from Kesselsdorf and came to Wilsdruff as an independent village .
As a district of Wilsdruffs, Kesselsdorf became part of the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district in the course of another district reform in 2008. Since May 2009, construction work has been going on for a complete bypass, which was financed with the money from economic stimulus package I. The bypass was completed in July 2011.
Katharinenkirche

The Evangelical Lutheran St. Katharinenkirche Kesselsdorf (namesake is Katharina von Alexandria ) was built in Gothic style in 1562. It was the parish church for Braunsdorf, Niederhermsdorf, Oberhermsdorf, Kohlsdorf , Kleinopitz and Wurgwitz, and later also for Kaufbach, Zöllmen and Unkersdorf . From 1723 to 1725 it was rebuilt in baroque style under the direction of George Bähr . After the Reformation in Saxony, the population of Kesselsdorf was predominantly Evangelical-Lutheran. Of the 885 inhabitants who lived in the village in 1925, 851 were Evangelical Lutheran, seven Catholic and 27 of other or no religion. Today Kesselsdorf is part of the St. Katharinen parish of Kesselsdorf, to which the Grumbacher Church also belongs.
The church also contains evidence of the battle of Kesselsdorf.
Economy and Infrastructure
The industrial park that was created in the 1990s is one of the largest in the Dresden area, but it is not yet fully developed. The industrial park is, among other things, the seat of the companies Satra Eberhardt and Magnussoft . There are also branches of the companies Danzer Group , Interflex and Sodexo in Kesselsdorf. Until 2011, the headquarters of the retail company Pfennigpfeiffer was also located in the industrial park. While the corporate properties predominate in the northern part, the southern part of the commercial area is primarily residential. Another residential area is located between the Kesselsdorf sports field and the small train station.
The industrial park was previously connected to the federal highway 4 via the state road 36 to Wilsdruff . Since the newly built Federal Motorway 17 east of Kesselsdorf was opened in 2001, the place can be reached the quickest from there. At the “Dresden-Gorbitz” junction, which is only about one kilometer from Kesselsdorf, the federal highway 173 will be connected to the A17. The federal road, known as Coventrystraße in Dresden's urban area , leads to the junction to Wilsdruff as a four-lane bypass through the Kesselsdorf industrial area. Before the opening of the bypass, the federal road led directly through the town via the "Road of Peace". Part of this old route of the B 173 was then dismantled. In addition to Dresden, Kesselsdorf is also connected to the neighboring town of Grumbach and the mountain town of Freiberg via the B 173 .
State and district roads also run through Kesselsdorf . The district road 9080 connects the place with Unkersdorf, Oberhermsdorf and Braunsdorf. The state road 36, coming from Wilsdruff, runs as a bypass through the Kesselsdorf industrial park and then down the valley towards Freital-Wurgwitz. The old state road was relocated in the course of the motorway construction and directs the traffic coming from Freital past Kesselsdorf in the direction of Dresden and A 17. The regional traffic Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains operates several bus lines that serve Kesselsdorf stops, including the F line of Freitaler Stadtverkehr and the Regional line 333 ( Pirnaischer Platz - Hetzdorf / Mohorn ). In recent years, an extension of the tram route from Dresden- Pennrich to Kesselsdorf has been increasingly considered, but this has not yet been planned.
The Freital-Potschappel-Nossen narrow-gauge railway was shut down in 1973.
