Ullersdorf is a district of Radeberg on the southeast edge of the Dresdner Heide with about 1600 inhabitants. Until 1998 it was an independent community.

Location and breakdown by location

The area that today belongs to Ullersdorf arose from several, historically independent settlement cores, which today can still be divided into four areas:

  • In the north the Ullersdorfer Heide leisure area with bicycle and walking paths through meadows and forest areas (in the area of ​​the historic forester's house);
  • south of it the medieval village center around the former tavern at the village pond;
  • at the southern end of it the expanded Ullersdorf, which has been built since 1993, with a golf course adjacent to it (opened in 1996);
  • in the east another new building area under construction since 2007.

Ullersdorf is cut through by the main road running from Dresden to Radeberg.

history

Local and forestry office

Pottery shards found on the Ullersdorf school property suggest settlement as early as the 12th or 13th century. The larger contexts speak for a foundation in the context of high colonization. It is possible that Ullersdorf was created by Ulrich the Elder of Dohna, a ministerial of the Burgraves of Dohna, who was mentioned once in 1206. The first mentions from 1378 speak u. a. for this (Ulrichstorf, Olrichsdorff). At that time, a village tavern by the pond is occupied, which the Meissen Margrave Friedrich dem Strengen had to pay. The historical core of Ullersdorf can be found in this area. Ecclesiastically he belonged to Weissig .

The first Ullersdorf forester's house is mentioned in 1602; there is a request from the forester living with a peasant to the ruling elector of Saxony for his own place to stay. A few houses were built in the heather meadows around the forester's house. Ecclesiastically this area belonged to Großerkmannsdorf . The forestry office existed until 1922. The forge on Todberg, which is no longer preserved, and the adjacent buildings go back to the 17th century. A second forge was built in 1762 on today's Ullersdorfer Straße; it was later converted into an inn ( blacksmith's tavern ; burned down by lightning in 1895). An anvil in front of the reconstructed building documents its original function.

Around 1830 a new Ullersdorf inn was built, to which the license for the medieval tavern was transferred. The streets and houses around this inn did not develop until the 19th century. There was a mill since 1903, which is also an inn today. After being destroyed in the Second World War and during the GDR era, the historic facilities fell into disrepair.

After 1990, the infrastructure around Ullersdorf was adapted to tourist needs. The incorporation of Ullersdorf to Radeberg took place on January 1, 1999 after a vote.

Economy and Infrastructure

empty inn

The infrastructure was improved after the incorporation into Radeberg. All dilapidated streets were renovated and the primary school received improved fire protection equipment and a new coat of paint. From 2007 a new area was opened up for building, which is located west of the area built in the 90s and which had been overgrown up to then.

Culture and sights

Green 10 of the Ullersdorf golf course

Ullersdorf is a local recreation area for the weekend, especially for the people of Dresden for hiking and cycling. The golf course and the fact that the place is directly adjacent to the Dresdner Heide play an important role .

Golf course

The 18-hole golf course, built in 1994 on the southern outskirts of the village, attracts many golfers from all over Saxony and parts of Thuringia. Next to the course there are practice facilities and a golf restaurant .

Riding stables

In Ullersdorf there is a riding stable near the village pond. There are stables for the horses and a riding hall.

Forester Grove

View over the Ullersdorf forest grove with the grave monument of Hegereiter Egidius Lucas Meitzner.

If you leave Ullersdorfer Hauptstraße and follow the Försterhain side path for a while, you will pass an allotment garden and into the Dresdner Heide. The Försterhain, a memorial for Ullersdorf forest officials from the 18th and 19th centuries, is hidden in the shade under tall trees. At the instigation of forester Ludwig Traugott Hänichen, the forester's grove was built in 1922 by moving the gravestones from the cemetery in Großerkmannsdorf. The memorial was last renovated in 1992 on behalf of the Saxon Forestry Office in Dresden. (see.)

An information board at the entrance indicates the individual grave monuments:

  • 1. Hegereiter Egidius Lucas Meitzner 1724–1820 (memorial stone stands next to a yew tree as an image of an old oak trunk entwined with ivy; the inscription is on a shield attached with a bow)
  • 2. Head forester Johann Ferdinand Hennig 1790–1835 (classicistic sandstone painting with palm branches in laurel wreath and lowered torch; sun and stars shine on the ridge)
  • 3. Forest inspector Wilhelm Heinrich Rüling 1783-1853 (sandstone slab with crossed leaf branches)
  • 4. Chief forester Georg Ludwig Ettmüller 1848–1896 (black granite grave cross)
  • 5. Chief forester August Ehrenfried Geyler 1800–1868 (simple stone slab without decorations)
  • 6. Royal forester Johann Gustav Maucke 1831-1900 (standing granite tombstone with integrated rock structure)
