history
From 1546 the Elbe island belonged to the newly founded town of Neudorf, whose residents had to leave their houses and properties due to the construction of the city fortifications of Altendresden . As compensation, they were allocated new land and were allowed to use the island as grazing land as well as for grass and wood extraction in return for an annual lease payment.
Because on the Elbwerder from nearby Ostragehege had settled native pheasants and partridges there were repeated conflicts with the electoral hunting authorities on the use of the island. As a result, the Neudorfer Werder was subordinated to the east agut and the residents were forbidden to enter. In the course of the legal dispute that had lasted for several decades, the situation escalated in 1721 after some residents had gained access to the Neudorfer Werder without authorization. August the Strong thereupon issued a general ban on entering and stationed two guards to enforce it. It was only by contract of August 13, 1781 that Neudorf got the Elbwerder again, but was only allowed to use it as pasture and for grass production. As the narrow Elbarm increasingly silted up, the Neudorfer Werder lost its island status at the end of the 18th century. A part of the former Elbar was used in 1859 for the construction of the Pieschener Elbhafen .
On March 22, 1864, the Saxon state acquired the area of the former island and built the water construction yard here two years later. The buildings are now used by the Dresden Waterways and Shipping Office . There is also an allotment garden on the former Elbe island and the sports field of TSV Rotation Dresden, which was built in 1933.
