Natural space
The street perch village is embedded in the woody open land of the Moritzburg small peaks landscape , which represents a historically valuable cultural landscape . In terms of its natural surroundings, the place is in the Westlausitzer Platte, the westernmost part of the Westlausitzer hill and mountainous region . The ridge of the Buckenberg Volkersdorf has a structure-rich dome relief. The alternation between small peaks and flat ridges with a protruding rock base made of monzonite (syenodiorite) and intermediate, flat hollow forms (depressions) creates a landscape-defining surface relief that is unique in Central Europe. The Kahlenberg with a height of 208.8 meters above sea level (above sea level) and the Spitzenberg with a height of 216.0 meters above sea level represent prominent hills in the core area of the small hilltop landscape in Volkersdorf. The Buckenberg is on the field boundary to Marsdorf and has a height of 212.8 meters above sea level. The striking relief of the landscape forms drumlin-like swarms of hills. Drumlins are elongated hills made of loose sediment and elliptical in shape, which were pushed up and arched in the ground moraine by the movement of ice from a glacier .
The upper course of the Promnitz flows through the place in a longitudinal direction. On the southern outskirts is the grinding mill with the mill pond , which is fed by the Promnitz and has been used for carp breeding since the 16th century.
In the west of the village there is a natural pond landscape with the surrounding Friedewald . To the east of the road to Rähnitz are the Niedere and Obere forest ponds .
history
Origin, name and development
A settlement existed on the southwestern edge as early as the Bronze Age. Volkersdorf itself is a German settlement that first appeared in a document in 1378 and was given the name of its locator Volkmar . Volkersdorf was probably founded in the second half of the 13th century as part of the German settlement in the east . In addition to the name, the shape of the place and the corridor are typical for a German foundation. An old moated castle at the lower end of the village is said to have fallen into disrepair in the 16th century. It was the center of a knightly estate . A property with a manor house existed until recently. Another moated castle was located southeast of Volkersdorf and belonged to the Knapsdorf Vorwerk , whose fields the municipality acquired from the Moritzburg office . Excavations date the existence of this moated castle to the 13th century.

In the 17th century there was still a sizable homestead there, near which there was a brick factory. This was dissolved in 1890. A mill that had existed since the 15th century was in operation until 1958 . The mill pond and other ponds were also used for fish farming . Viticulture also played a certain role at the beginning of the 19th century, especially since the inn, a so-called Erbkretzscham (German-Sorbian for hereditary dish ), which was founded in the 15th century, offered cheap bar. The new schoolhouse (now a day care center ) was built in 1913 in place of the school building that had been created 50 years earlier and was later used together with Bärnsdorf and Berbisdorf .
There is a publicly accessible children's playground south of the day-care center .
In a former children's sanatorium at the Oberen Waldteich, children with cancer from Chernobyl were cared for from the fall of the Wall until 2012.
Incorporations
Volkersdorf was an independent municipality until 1994. On March 1, 1994, it merged with the neighboring communities of Berbisdorf and Bärnsdorf to form the new community of Promnitztal . However, this only existed until 1998. On January 1, 1999, Volkersdorf became a district of the city of Radeburg .
Population development
The population grew gradually until the post-war period of World War II . In 1834 373 people lived in the village, the number of inhabitants rose to 693 by 1950 and has been declining since then.
The population data between 1990 and 1993 represent the result of the population extrapolation based on the register data from October 3, 1990. The population data from 2011 are the result of the population extrapolation based on the census of May 9, 2011.

The wooded surroundings and the pond landscape in the west, as well as the striking hilltops in the east of the place are well suited for leisure and recreational use. From the Buckenberg ridge there are very good views of the small peaks of Volkersdorf, Marsdorf and Bärnsdorf as well as neighboring landscapes, for example the edge area of the Königsbrück-Ruhlander Heiden in the north and the Lower and Upper Eastern Ore Mountains in the south and southeast.
Cycle tourists reach Volkersdorf via the Saxon city route . Local hiking trails connect you to the Moritzburg pond area, which is well developed for tourists.
A signposted hiking trail is the Volkersdorfer Rundweg with a length of 8 km. It leads to the area southeast of Volkersdorf under the two motorways to near Dresden- Klotzsche Airport. (yellow point - description on petra-und-peter.de/petrasblog)
The bath at the Untere Waldteich (Niederen Waldteich), which was set up on the edge of the Moritzburg pond area in the 1920s, is considered the oldest nudist bath on an inland body of water in Germany. The baths at the Upper and Lower Forest Ponds gave Volkersdorf the status of a health resort .
