Oberloschwitz is the higher part of the Dresden villa district Loschwitz , which merges seamlessly into the Weißer Hirsch . In addition to the original area north of the Loschwitzgrund or the Grundstrasse from Luisenhof to the White Eagle on Bautzner Landstrasse, after 1945 the name “Oberloschwitz” was also transferred to the “Schöne Aussicht” south of Grundstrasse.

As a vineyard settlement emerged on the slopes above the Loschwitz village center, the development of Oberloschwitz from the second half of the 19th century was closely linked to the development of the health resort Weißer Hirsch. The area of ​​the two places "represents a residential area around the turn of the century in terms of settlement history and urban design, in which the living and living requirements of a relatively broad, affluent middle class were realized through individual villa development in larger gardens", which was not least reflected in the Weißer Hirsch / Weißer Hirsch beautification association founded in 1876 / Oberloschwitz expressed. In 1918, the Oberloschwitz cemetery was laid out next to the Weißer Hirsch forest cemetery, which had been inaugurated 20 years earlier, and in 1933 the parish was finally cleared from the Loschwitz parish to that of the Weißer Hirsch after efforts to build an own church on Rißweg failed.

To improve the traffic situation between Loschwitz and Oberloschwitz and the White Deer, the funicular railway was opened in 1895 and the suspension railway in 1901 .
