Trachau is a district in the northwest of Dresden . It is located on the right bank of the Elbe in the Pieschen district .

location

Trachau is located on the north-western border of Dresden to Radebeul . In the north it is bordered by the Junge Heide , in the east by Trachenberge , in the south by Pieschen and in the west by Mickten and Kaditz . The area northeast of Aachener Strasse is also called Wilder Mann .

Although Trachau is a little away from the Elbe, it is on the edge of a wide floodplain. The densely populated southern part of Trachau is therefore in an area of ​​the city that could be threatened by extremely strong floods from the Elbe. When the Elbe floods in 2002 , the water level increased up to the Trachau stop, but the pressing groundwater also flooded cellars and gardens north of the railway line .

history

Cremation graves from the Bronze Age on Geblerstrasse and the remains of a settlement at Schützenhof are evidence of early settlement.

Trachau was first mentioned in 1242 as "Trachennowe". In contrast to most district names in Dresden, the name is of Middle High German origin. It means "place near the dragon mountains", a neighboring district is Trachenberge . A spatial reference of these place names is given. Despite the Middle High German name origin, the place was founded as a Sorbian settlement in an old Elbarm. The village was laid out as a street perch village with a corridor. In the village square there were two ponds, Large Puddle and Small Puddle , as the name of the Teichstrasse indicates.

Until the 19th century Trachau was not only used for local agriculture but also for viticulture. The wine was grown on the hills behind the farms. In the 15th century, the Augustinian monks from Altendresden lived on the Alten Trachenberg ( Grossenhainer Strasse and Schützenhofstrasse). From 1661 the slopes west of the Schützenhof were cleared. Fields and vineyards were laid out on it, which were called new lands . Häusler settled in 1614, the first was at Leipziger Strasse 210. With the relocation of Meißner Poststrasse from the Elbe to Trachau in 1787, the first craftsmen came to the area. Butcher Gottfried Ockert received the licensing license for the Zum Lämmchen inn on Leipziger Strasse on June 13, 1787 , where the Trachau town council had been meeting since 1839.

A post mill was built in 1849.

Trachau was destroyed by fires in 1766, 1795 and 1816 and flooded by the Elbe in 1655, 1784 and 1845 .

From 1838, the Leipzig – Dresden railway divided the Trachauer Flur into a southern part with a village and market gardens and a northern part with fields. At that time, the main streets were built with tenement houses. Nevertheless, there was still active agricultural land south of the railway line east of the Dresden-Trachau train station until the end of the 20th century. Due to the industrialization in the area and the city growth, agriculture was stopped.

In 1881 the Gasthof Zum Lämmchen was rebuilt and renamed the Goldenes Lamm . In 1895 an enlarged dance hall was built, which, after renovations in 1918, served as the gym of the Trachau gymnastics club in the 1920s and as a cinema since 1925. From 1962 until 1997 the premises were used as the domicile of the Dresden Puppet Theater. After that the building was empty, only a small restaurant was still on the ground floor. In 2006 the Free Evangelical Congregation Dresden bought the building. Since then, the ballroom has served as a worship and event room. In May 2009, a music school association was founded as a new work area, which shares the rooms with the community. The artists DorFuchs and Samuel Rösch have their musical roots in the music school "Goldenes Lamm".

Trachau was incorporated into Dresden in 1903. In 1908 Trachau broke away from the Kaditz parish.

The Trachenfest has been organized by Hufewiesen eV since 2012. Both are very much supported by Uwe Steimle, who was born in Trachau .

Between Industriestrasse and Schützenhofstrasse, surrounded by Richard-Rösch-Strasse in the west and Aachener Strasse in the east, there is the large housing estate Trachau . From 1928 to 1933, buildings of the New Objectivity were built in this quarter according to plans by Hans Richter , Schilling & Graebner and other architects.

The Dresden-Neustadt Municipal Hospital , which was originally used as a retirement home, was part of the development plan for the large estate .
