history

One of the "DREWAG towers"

In 1886 the construction of the Tolkewitz waterworks began , for which in 1897/98 an elevated tank for the drinking water supply of the Dresden city areas on the left Elbe was built on the Räcknitzhöhe. The Volkspark was created in 1898 to protect the water management system in Räcknitz. The park was financed by the King Albert Jubilee Foundation. A second elevated tank was built next to the first in 1905, a residential building for employees of the waterworks and two tower-like buildings were built in which the entrances to the elevated tanks were. Viewing platforms were set up on the turrets because the facilities were still open to the public at the time. As a result of the 1936 Reichsgartenschau in Dresden, the Räcknitz park was comprehensively redesigned and redesigned, for example a new network of paths was created. A large main entrance gate on Stadtgutstrasse had to be demolished at the end of the 1970s for structural reasons.
