The Leipziger Strasse is an arterial road from Dresden to the northwest. It leads through the districts of Leipziger Vorstadt , Pieschen , Mickten , Trachau and Kaditz to Radebeul on Meißner Straße .
history
It originally began at the Leipziger Tor (road to Leipzig) , part of the Dresden fortifications on the Neustadt side of the Elbe. The section between poppy street and city boundary was created in 1787 and has served as the "New Meissner Post Road" the elbnahe and therefore flood-prone "Old Meissner Post Road" ( Kötzschenbroder road ) Pieschen on Kaditz and Serkowitz after Kötzschenbroda (cf.. Women stone ).
Leipziger Strasse was developed industrially with the construction of the Leipzig train station in 1838 and the Pieschener Elbe port in 1859. The Leipziger Bahnhof was the first passenger station in Dresden and was located in the corner of Leipziger Strasse and Grossenhainer Strasse . It was separated from the Schlesisches Bahnhof by Grossenhainer Strasse . There are still buildings from 1872 that were later used as a freight yard.
In 1854 the stoneware factory of Villeroy & Boch was founded on Leipziger Strasse . Around 1865/1866, Franz Ludwig Gehe opened a drug and finishing institute on the site of the water construction yard , which later became a company of the Dresden Medicines Plant (Plant 3), to which Madaus still belonged. In 1873, Friedrich von Heyden , who had moved to Dresden only two years earlier, opened his first laboratory at Leipziger Strasse 6. In addition, the Schlick shipyard (1863) with the adjoining Neustädter Hafen (1872–1876), the Neustädter Holzhof and in 1869 Carl Ernst Grumbt's steam sawmill were built . In the years 1871/1872 the Ziller brothers built the Villa Martha for the chamber musician A. Richter , one of the few villas in the Leipzig suburb. Grumbt settled in 1888 in the style of Neo-Renaissance a villa today Alexander Pushkin Square (formerly Erfurt Place) building. From 1949 to 1989 it was used as the Pushkin House by the Society for German-Soviet Friendship .
The ski jumps in Neudorf, which were created in 1866 in the area of Leipziger Straße closer to town, were removed by 1873.
In 1866 the city bought part of the Elbe meadows in order to build a slaughterhouse on it. It resigned in 1868 in favor of the butchers' guild, which built a central slaughterhouse with a cattle market in 1873 . This was operated until 1910.
During the air raids on Dresden in February 1945, the buildings near the city were destroyed. In 1993 the “Elbcenter”, a residential and commercial building complex, was built in the “Pieschener Winkel” at the confluence of Mohnstrasse. From 2007 to 2009, after the destruction of the Elbe flood of the century in August 2002 , the road was rehabilitated using subsidies. With this redesign of the road location along its entire length, the tram was partially given its own track bed.
traffic
In 1882 the horse-drawn tram ran on Leipziger Strasse for the first time . In 1899 the electric tram to Mickten was set up. Also in 1899 the Lößnitzbahn from Mickten to Kötzschenbroda started operating. This line was expanded to full gauge in 1930. At the Mickten tram depot there are still remnants of the buildings of the Lößnitzbahn next to the decommissioned facilities of the parking facility of the former municipal railway.
Lines 4 and 9 run along Leipziger Strasse. Since September 2010, the Elberadweg has run parallel to the street and crosses the Elbe over the Molenbrücke to the Ball- und Brauhaus Watzke.
19,500 vehicles use Leipziger Strasse every day.
Restaurants
In 1898 Paul Watzke opened the Ball- und Brauhaus Watzke named after him on the corner of Kötzschenbroder Straße. Although the Ballhaus Watzke was still a dance restaurant in the destroyed Dresden in the late 1940s (post-war), it was closed in 1950. After that, the building was used as a warehouse for the textile wholesale company for a long time. On the initiative of an operating company, the Ballhaus was reopened in 1996 with a restaurant brewery.
The “Stadt Leipzig” restaurant was converted into the “Faunpalast” cinema at the beginning of the 1950s. Today it is a residential and commercial complex.
Other well-known restaurants were the "Golden Lamb" on the corner of Alttrachau , which was later used as a puppet theater. Well-known restaurants were Moritz Gebler's “Waldvilla” and the “Feldschlößchen”. The forest villa was used by the drug factory Li-iL , from the Feldschlößchen the clubhouse "Rudi Arndt" (popularly "Rudi" or "Bloody Rudi") emerged, which has been called Theaterhaus Rudi since 1997 and is a venue for amateur theater groups .
