The fence consists of quarry stone masonry, the elaborate gate system has a wrought iron gate.

history

The Jägerberg winery with the associated vineyard has its origins in the 16th century. The name refers to the electoral Saxon chief hunter Sigmund Adolph von Zieglar (or Siegmund August von Ziegesar) (died around 1666), who owned the vineyard in the early 17th century.

From 1826 the Dresden wine merchant Johann Heinrich Hantzsch (or August Traugott Hantzsch) was the owner. He had the 17th century manor house replaced by a neo-Gothic villa in 1844 and an English park with an artificial ruin halfway up the mountain and an observation tower ( sheet metal castle ) built on the property . The Oberlößnitz naturopath Friedrich Eduard Bilz bought the property in 1895 to live there. In 1899 he made the property part of his Bilz sanatorium .

The Radebeul entrepreneur Gerhard Meyer , owner of the Radebeul company Myraplast , bought a western section of the Jägerberg from the Bilz heirs in the mid-1950s . There he had his house ( Meyer-Villa ) built in 1956/1957 .

The traditionalist plastered building with a tiled roof was designed by the architect Albert Patitz for Gerhard Meyer and built in 1956/1957. The villa with its traditional, elegant furnishings is now considered a “rare example of a GDR entrepreneur villa”. The spacious garden is also considered a work of landscape and garden design .

After Meyer's expropriation in the 1960s, the property became part of the Ministry of State Security . Today it is privately owned again.
