Himmelsbusch and Ebenberge

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Himmelsbusch , also Rommelsbusch , is now a forest area on a ridge in the Naundorf district of the Saxon city of Radebeul . It is located to the east or south of the Kottenleite and north of the steep ascent of the Elbe slope, part of the Lusatian fault , on the plateau that belongs to the Lusatian plate . The sky bush belongs to the Lößnitz protected landscape area, which was designated in 1974 , and is about 210 meters high. To the east of it are the Ebenberge ( 204.7 m above sea level ), on top of  which there is a small residential area from the 1930s with the address Auf den Ebenbergen , which can be reached via Mohrenstrasse . The public observatory Adolph Diesterweg is located on the edge of the slope . During the GDR era, the entire massif, starting in the west on Kottenleite or the Kroatengrund and going east on Moritzburger Straße ( Leimgrund ), including the Mohrenhaus estate with the former vineyard Die Mohrenköpf , was referred to as Ebenberge . In the north the massif is bounded by the Kottenleite, in the south by the steep drop of the Lusatian fault towards the Elbe valley.

geology

During the ancient times in the area of ​​the Himmelsbusch at a width of 500 meters, liquid rock broke through the prevailing syenite (between the Kottenleite and the Eckbergen of Wackerbarth Castle ) and solidified to form hornblende porphyrite . Its weathering products were called red lacquer by the local winemakers ; they were a very good basis for the viticulture on this parcel since 1480. The entire porphyrite corridor is two kilometers long and stretches from the Rietzschkegrund to the Altfriedstein . However, it reaches its greatest width in the sky bush.

A “far and wide unique wall-like rock formation” can be found at the entrance to the Kottenleite. It consists of gray-green syenite and brown-red porphyrite ; it has been under protection as a natural monument since 1958 , the Radebeul natural monument (MEI 066) is listed as a porphyrite dike in the monzonite in Radebeul-Kötzschenbroda .

On the Kottenleite there is a protected biotope in the form of the Himmelsbusch quarry in accordance with Section 26 of the SächsNatSchG.

history

The originally episcopal Meissnian fiefdom owned by the Kundige patrician family from Dresden was sold to the Dresden council in 1436 together with the council share to Zitzschewig . This in turn lent the Himmelsbusch to Naundorf farmers. In 1548, the Naundorf community received it as a long lease for 6 groschen annual interest . In the land register of the municipality of Naundorf from 1801, the Himmelsbusch, together with about 15 other corridors, was part of the bush land of the municipality itself. The Ebend vineyard adjacent to the east , the Ebenberge, is, like numerous other vineyards in the same land register, listed as belonging to the corridor, "im Shock tax cadastre of the same year but referred to as steering directly to Dresden or under the jurisdiction of various other courts ”. This Ebend was first mentioned in 1322 as a Kötzschenbrodaer Weinberg.

In 1847, the majority of the area was distributed to the 39 members of the Naundorf old community in the course of releasing the feudal burdens , while a smaller part remained in the possession of the community .

In 1910, a winter toboggan run, which was popular for a long time, was built on the northwest slope of the Himmelbusch. In 1912 the Naundorf municipal council tried unsuccessfully to convert the Himmelsbusch into a public park . In 1927, a raised tank with a capacity of 2000 cubic meters was built into the mountain to secure the water supply.
