Meissner Strasse

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Meissner Street is a city road in the Saxon town of Radebeul . With a length of over 8 km, it is the longest street in the city. It leads from the eastern city limits to the state capital Dresden through the whole of Radebeul in a westerly direction to the city limits to Coswig . As a continuous former Chausseestrasse and right-hand Elbe connection between Dresden and Meißen or Leipzig , it was already of supraregional importance in the past; This is documented today by the classification as Saxon State Road 82 .

Meißner Straße crosses the following districts from east to west or forms part of its border: Alt-Radebeul , Serkowitz , Niederlößnitz , Kötzschenbroda , Naundorf and Zitzschewig .

On this way it begins at the oldest existing external border with the city of Dresden, as a continuation of Leipziger Strasse . It leads through the former industrial district of Radebeul, where the motorway crosses it via the Union Bridge ; on the right was the former Radebeul-Ost forest park . It forms the axis of Radebeul-Ost , where it forms an intersection with the main road .

Then the Luther Church is on the left . It leads through Serkowitz to Radebeul-Mitte , where it is crossed at the inn "Weißes Roß" or the beginning of the Augustusweg by the narrow-gauge railway Radebeul Ost – Radeburg , which goes north from there to the Lößnitzgrund and even crosses the Lößnitzbach . This intersection is also the crossing point with the former Lößnitzbahn regional tram , which is now line 4 of the Dresden tram , which goes to Naundorf on Meißner Straße and then turns on its own track to the northwest.

Meißner Straße then leads past the state theaters of Saxony along Niederlößnitz with the junction with Borstraße on the right and crosses Kötzschenbroda ( Ledenweg , Gradsteg ), where it crosses the Bahnhofstraße to the Elbe in the center of Radebeul-West near the local train station to where the Anger Altkötzschenbroda lies to the left of the Elbe and forms the Moritzburger Straße (part of the district road 8018) towards the Hochland and Moritzburg.

Further west the road train arrives at Wackerbarth over, crossed Naundorf and leads the turnoff to the village Zitzschewig past Coswig where it just before the city limits of Berlin-Dresden railway is crossed that there at the same the same bridges Niederwartha uses. At the Coswig city limits it is continued by Leipziger Straße there.

The Leipzig – Dresden railway line and the S 1 line of the Dresden S-Bahn run roughly parallel to the south of Meißner Straße .

Naming

The long-distance connection, designated in a document as Leipziger Landstraße in 1661 and as the road from Leipzig to Dreßden in 1715 , ran further down the Elbe, which is why the Altstraße was also at risk of flooding. In 1784, Elector Friedrich August the Righteous almost had an accident due to undercutting , as a result of which not only the Weiberstein was erected in Serkowitz , but also extensive construction work was carried out in the Elbe until 1788 and the long-distance connection was relocated as a road to the next higher sand terrace.

The Kunststraße , created from 1788 in the course of today's Meißner Straße, was expanded to a high street during the Napoleonic era and secured in Zitzschewig with a (now demolished) street house. In Christian Gottlob Hammer's painting Vue de Wackerbarthsruhe aux environs de Dresden, prize sur la grande Route de Leipzig , it is simply the “great street of Leipzig”, in the maneuver plan for the Royal Saxon troops near Dresden in 1857 the street was simply a road named after Meissen .

With the strengthening of the municipalities in the 19th century, names were determined: Around 1900 the part between the border to Dresden through the district Radebeul through up to and including Serkowitz was called Leipziger Strasse . Past Niederlößnitz and through Kötzschenbroda to the Naundorfer border it was called Dresdner Straße , while in Naundorf and Zitzschewig it was called Meissner Chaussee . With the merger of the western Lößnitz localities to form a large community and then the town of Kötzschenbroda , the route from Serkowitz to the Coswig city limits was given the common name of Meißner Straße .

With the merger of Kötzschenbroda and Radebeul to form the city of Radebeul, the name Meißner Straße was extended to the entire route between Dresden and Coswig, and the house numbers were adjusted in the western part.

On December 21, 1950 the name was changed to Stalinstrasse ; In 1960 it was renamed again to Wilhelm-Pieck-Straße .

After the fall of the Wall in 1991, the street was given its previous name Meißner Straße .

Development

Today's numbering begins at the Dresden city limits with number 1 on the south side of the Elbe with the odd numbers; these run to No. 511 on the Coswig border. The even numbers can be found on the north side towards the steep slope.

There are countless cultural monuments on Meißner Straße , be it that they have the address Meißner Straße themselves or that corner properties have an address from one of the numerous side streets (each listed below). The list of streets and squares in Radebeul lists the cultural monuments and sights that can be assigned to these districts under the 6 sections to Meißner Straße. These are in detail:
