history

The 2nd class post office "Oberlößnitz-Radebeul" was responsible for the Oberlößnitz , Alt-Radebeul , Serkowitz and Dresden- Kaditz order districts , which were spun off from the Kötzschenbroda delivery district around 1870 . From 1890 it was rented in the residential and commercial building at Sidonienstraße 1 . In 1900 the name was changed to Post Office 2nd Class "Radebeul-Oberlößnitz" , two years later it was upgraded to Post Office 1st Class . Due to the strong growth of industry and population, an increase in the number of responsible postal officials was necessary; the 18 civil servants in 1894 had increased to 80 by 1920.

Town hall with police office (left) and Pestalozzi School , 1901 (SE side). The Zillersche Villa still stands on plot No. 4.

In 1909, the responsible Imperial Upper Post Office and the Royal Office of Dresden-Neustadt decided to have a rental post office built by the Dresden master builder Max Preiss at his expense. For this purpose, a villa belonging to the Lößnitz master builder , the Ziller brothers , on the property at Pestalozzistraße 4 , which had only been built for Friedrich August Herrmann 14 years earlier, was demolished. The post office opened on July 1, 1910.

In 1925 a mail car shed was built in the back yard , and in 1927 the builder Johannes Eisold built a mail bike shed .

With the merger of Radebeul and Kötzschenbroda in 1935 to form the district-free city of Radebeul , the post office was renamed Postamt Radebeul 1 , while the Kötzschenbrodaer post office in Meißner Straße 285 became the post office Radebeul 2 . In 1974 an urgently needed general repair of the building took place.

The building was open to the public as a post office until 1997. As a result of the restructuring of the postal system in the Radebeul area, both post offices were closed, and mail is now only accepted by postal agencies. Only the ground floor was still used as a distribution center and post office, but otherwise the building was for sale.

The Radebeul city council decided in 2005 to buy the building located directly next to the town hall in order to move parts of the city administration there in the course of the centralization of offices. Since 2007, after a few repairs and technical installations, the legal and regulatory office has been located there. In 2009 and 2010, the exterior renovation and drainage of the building took place as part of the economic stimulus package II . In 2014, the registry office, the last external subject area of ​​the Radebeul legal and public order office, moved into the now completed building. Until then, this subject area was housed in the former Niederlößnitz town hall.

Wedding garden with fountain sculpture "Lovers"

Since spring 2015 there has been a water feature on the back of the registry office, called the wedding garden, the fountain sculpture "Lovers" by the Dresden sculptor Małgorzata Chodakowska .
