You walk to number 10 on the south side on Niederlößnitzer Grund, then numbers 14 and 16 skip the street side, which brings you to Naundorfer Grund.

Some cultural monuments lie along the road and are therefore listed in the list of cultural monuments in Radebeul-Niederlößnitz (M-Z) and the list of cultural monuments in Radebeul-Naundorf , some also with addresses of cross streets:

• Naundorf: Villa Columbia (No. 14) , Kleinecke Tomb (on property No. 16)

The large park to the Mohrenhaus , which is now part of the forest, is considered a monumental subsidiary . In it stands an artificial ruin , high above the retaining wall that supports the sloping ground , which can be seen from Mohrenstrasse.

The area south of the street, which first rises high to the so-called Meyerburg on the top and then drops sharply to the south, and towards Moritzburger Straße, belongs to the Altfriedstein villa colony , which covers the areas of the important Altfriedstein vineyards that were abandoned after the phylloxera disaster in the Lößnitz developed. The area further to the west with the Mätressenschlösschen as the highlight belongs to the historic Neufriedstein vineyard estate .

The Mätressenschlösschen, built in 1771, was listed as an art monument as the Friedstein vineyard house in Dehio's rapid inventory from 1905 , and in the more extensive inventory of monuments by Gurlitt in 1904 it appeared as Friedstein vineyard property; On the mountains , what can be seen as a location from the time before the official street names were given. The Mohrenhaus was also listed in the Gurlitt.

Naming

Already in the 17th century the hills were called Mohrenköpfe , probably because of their shape and the bushes on top.

Around 1715 the path was described as a desert alley , in the 19th century as a ravine . In 1893 Moritz Lilie used the name Ebengäßchen because the alley led to the Ebenberge.

In 1915 the official name was dedicated to Mohrenstrasse , after the Mohrenhaus property on the north side , which at that time was inhabited by Alwin Bauer , member of the state parliament .
