The Elbdampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft , founded in 1836, opened regular steamboat services between the two Elbe cities of Dresden and Meißen on July 30, 1837 . The only stop on the way was the Kötzschenbrodaer pier ( 51 ° 06 ′ 11.7 ″  N , 013 ° 37 ′ 18.3 ″  E ) on October 3, 1837 . The first passenger steamship to stop there regularly was the Queen Maria . ! 513.6217505551.1032505

In March 1864, the brickyard owner Friedrich Wilhelm Weinert applied for the construction of a “ waiting hall and side building for the Saxons on his own lot. Dampfschiffahrtsgesellschaft ”, which was renamed the Saxon-Bohemian Steamship Company in 1867 . So by 1865 a simple, rectangular restaurant building with a restaurant, kitchen and utility rooms as well as a bowling alley was built above the steep bank according to plans by the local master mason Moritz Große . This had a size of five to two window axes with knee sticks and a flat gable roof . In the inn or the “popular guest garden”, travelers could wait for their steamer without being forced to eat . Tickets for the steamboat trip were also sold on site. For example, “fresh fish from the Elbe [...] [as] fresh fried fish with potato salad of known quality” were offered for consumption .

On the occasion of a damaged roof, the building was converted in 1891/1892 "in the style of the Wilhelminian era " with a simultaneous, massive expansion of the existing areas. A corner tower was built on the Elbe side of the gable-facing building, also by Moritz Große, to which another wing of the same size was added to the west eaves facing the Elbe. By enlarging the usable area, the steamboat restaurant received a spacious “social room”, space for billiard tables and a salon on the upper floor . This was followed by the construction of an open veranda facing the Elbe and the enlargement of the bowling alley building. Passengers could continue to wait for their connection without consumption.

In 1920 the local rowing club Lößnitz asked for permission to convert the bowling alley into a boathouse.

The restaurant closed in 1958 and the building was used as a residential building from then on. The badly dilapidated but listed building was acquired by the city of Radebeul in 1997 and sold to a private investor in 2001. After extensive renovation measures, a fish restaurant opened there in the same year, which in 2003 created a 60 m long guest terrace directly on the steep bank above the pier .

The fish restaurant located directly on the Elbe Cycle Path had to close in 2004; two years later the inn was reopened with a new concept.

Even today, the pier is approached according to plan by the Saxon Steamship Service .
