history
Radeburg was laid out according to plan after 1150 at a ford over the Röder and was first mentioned in a document in 1248. Radeburg was first mentioned as an oppidum in 1288 , which is why Radeburg must have already had city rights ( Magdeburg law ) at this time .
In the Thirty Years 'War Radeburg lost more than half of its population, during the Northern War the Swedes camped at Radeburg ("Schwedenstein"), in the Seven Years' War the Prussians , in 1813 Napoleon I. On September 16, 1884, the city received the Lößnitzgrundbahn to Radebeul a narrow-gauge railway connection that still exists today. Industry hardly settled in Radeburg, only the chamotte and glass industries were significant . For a short time (1921-29) Radeburg was also the headquarters of the pharmaceutical company Madaus AG . In the 1970s, industrial poultry farming ( KIM ) became an important economic factor in the city. However, this has only been of minor importance since the fall of 1989/90. Radeburg has had an industrial and commercial area since 1993, which is located in the south and directly on the A 13, which went into operation in 1935.
On January 1st, 1974 Bärwalde was incorporated as a district after Radeburg. On January 1, 1999, Radeburg was united with Promnitztal and Großdittmannsdorf in a community merger . The newly formed municipality continues to bear the name Radeburg. The municipalities of Berbisdorf , Bärnsdorf and the spa town of Volkersdorf , which were dissolved in Promnitztal on March 1, 1994 through the amalgamation of municipalities , remained independent districts.

Radeburg local history museum
The local history museum in Radeburg is located in the town house built in 1813, which served as the district court from 1894 to 1952 . The idea of founding a museum arose on the occasion of the Heimatfest in 1907. The chairman of the embellishment association, school director and teacher - Paul Subklew - encouraged the Radeburgers to collect objects of all kinds that document the past of their homeland. These loans and donations, along with archaeological finds from the Bronze Age, formed the basis for the museum. In 1954 it received its final domicile in the town hall and later district court of the city.
In 2017, the building that houses the local history museum was completely renovated. This made it possible to set up a fund, special exhibition rooms and a room for museum educational work and local history research in addition to the exhibition rooms. During the same period, the exhibition in the local history museum was redesigned and completely revised.
The new permanent exhibition was officially opened on December 8, 2018. From the museum's collection you can see furniture from the 19th century, historical weapons and testimonies of riflemen , household and handicraft items, views of Radeburg and parts of the extensive archaeological collection from the late Bronze Age ( Lausitz culture ). For the first time, the new permanent exhibition also deals with post-war history and the time of the GDR . An important focus of the museum is the collection of original drawings, graphics and letters on Heinrich Zille . A separate cabinet within the new exhibition has been dedicated to the famous painter of everyday life in Berlin. Interested visitors will find a lot of interesting information about the artist here, and original works are also shown. In memory of Zille's art of drawing, caricatures are shown in regular special exhibitions and the "Heinrich Zille Caricature Prize" is awarded in cooperation with the Komische Meister Dresden gallery.
Radeburg cultural station
Events take place regularly in the old goods floor of the Radeburg train station. It offers space for exhibitions, lectures, readings, concerts, plays and unique celebrations such as the Zille Ball.
Attractions
city Park
The Heinrich-Zille-Hain is a 22,500 m² city park on the Promnitz . Between the paths there are meadows, several large old beeches, a fountain and next to it a playground.
Memorials
Heinrich Zille memorial stone
The Heinrich Zille memorial stone was inaugurated by the city in 1945 on the 25th anniversary of Zille's death. The memorial stone is framed by a small circular rock garden. The system is modeled on Zille's tombstone in Berlin.
Betting column / VdN monument
Like the Heinrich Zille memorial stone, the betting column is located in the Heinrich Zille grove. The obelisk was erected in 1889/99 on the occasion of the 800-year-old Wettin dynasty and the 15-year reign of King Albert of Saxony . In 1956 the stone was redesigned for those persecuted by the Nazi regime and victims of fascism from 1933 to 1945. The monument, which is now unadorned, shows on its four sides the symbols of German and international resistance against the Nazi regime framed by laurel wreaths.
Heraldstone
The Heroldstein is located on the outskirts of Radeburg, at the end of Freiheitsstraße. The stone, surrounded by four birch trees, was erected in memory of a 23-year-old student who took his own life out of heartache and deepest despair. The son of Professor Herolds from Marburg wanted to prevent his bride from being married to someone else. But he was in Radeburg instead of Radeberg , where the wedding was to take place.
Illing tomb
The Illing tomb in the churchyard is a three-sided, 2.85 m high baroque sandstone - Obelisk . It reminds of the pharmacist and mayor Johann Georg Illing from Radeburg, his widow and her second husband Johann Christoph Wesske. The memorial stone consists of three parts that contain a pictorial sermon. In the cavities of the rock-like substructure are three coffins and cartouches with mirrors on them on the three sides, which show the life data of the deceased and are framed by roses. In the upper area the stone points upwards like a sign of victory and is closed by a cloud ball.
Memorial to the victims of the First and Second World Wars
The memorial to the victims of the First and Second World Wars was inaugurated in front of the new cemetery in Radeburg on November 27, 1921 to honor the soldiers who died in the First World War - two years after the Radeburg Beautification Association had proposed to the city to build one. The association also arranged for the extensive collection to be financed. On the front of the sarcophagus-like substructure, between two panels, was the inscription "Our Heroes from 1914–1918" . When the memorial had to be restored after the Second World War , the old inscription was changed to "Die Toten Mahnen" and the dates of the world wars. A group of figures rests on the coffin . A soldier bends over a fallen man in prayer. The inscription "I had a comrade" is on the three-tiered coffin plate underneath .
Post mileage
The Saxon post mile pillar was built on the market in 1728, implemented or changed several times and restored for the last time in 2002. It consists of a foundation, a base, the written part as an information carrier with the integrated coat of arms and a tip. It stands opposite the town hall in a small planted area, in front of the former castle.
Century stone
The stone of the century is located opposite the local history museum, at the church garden. It is intended to commemorate the Wars of Liberation in 1812/13 . 100 years later, the inauguration took place on the occasion of the anniversary of the Battle of Nations near Leipzig .
Royal Saxon milestones
The royal Saxon milestones were created from 1859 after the re-measurement of Saxony (1840 to 1875: 1 mile = 7.5 km). A royal Saxon station stone made of Cotta sandstone from this system is located at the intersection of Dresdnerstrasse and Moritzburger Strasse. It was set in 1860. On the front it is provided with a central cast iron royal crown and the original inscription "Radeburg". The known distances to Moritzburg and Dresden on the back as well as the original large crowns on both sides, instead of the one middle crown, are missing today.
Stone cross
The stone cross on Röderstrasse by the ford is the oldest monument in Radeburg. The sandstone turning cross from the high Middle Ages has the shape of a Latin or passion cross . The shape can still be seen well, even if the head of the cross has been missing for a long time and the stone is generally badly weathered. The stone cross was a waymarker. Old trade routes led from Meissen at this point over the Röder , on to Bautzen and Königsbrück . It has been a listed building since 1972.
Memorial at the Heinrich Zille School
A sculpture by the painter Heinrich Zille has been set up at the Heinrich Zille School. It was the preliminary draft of the Zille monument in Berlin by the Berlin sculptor Heinrich Drake .
Economy and Infrastructure
education
Radeburg has a primary school on the Meißner Berg and a secondary school (Heinrich-Zille-Oberschule).
tourism
Radeburg differs from the tourist strongholds in the neighborhood - Dresden, Moritzburg and Meißen - by its rather gentle tourism. In the region, which is not very well developed for tourism, the attraction lies in the silence and tranquility of nature.
In Radeburg's core city, the alley system typical of the Middle Ages is still largely preserved, which has its special charm. Tourist attractions are the Lößnitzgrundbahn and the local museum as well as the annual Radeburg Carnival . Radeburg is considered to be Saxony's carnival stronghold .
economy
In Radeburg there is an industrial park near the A13 . Due to the location and the transport links, a large number of freight forwarders and traders have settled in the industrial area. The area's capacities are exhausted. Almost all of the properties are either built on or sold to investors.
