history

Friedensburg, postcard from 1903

From 1800 the vineyard below the Friedensburg belonged to the Dresden city physicus Friedrich August Röber as Röberberg . As a prime piece of nearly 15 hectares Weinbergsbesitzung including the west to the mountain gorge notch subsequent notch mountain vineyards from 1818 were also cultivated after his retirement from Röber with its winemakers themselves. From that year Röber lived in the Lößnitz, his residence was the vineyard house below, which was later converted into the Badhotel Niederlößnitz .

In 1868 the winegrower's house from the 17th century on the site of the mountain restaurant, in which a wine bar had already been operated, partially burned down. The vineyard owner Ernst Louis Gießmann, brother of Max Gießmann, who owned the Badhotel at the foot of the vineyard in Burgstrasse 2 , had the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller" built a new, widely visible mountain inn in 1870/1871, including the remains of the fire . On the occasion of the peace treaty between Germany and France in 1871 , the building was named Friedensburg .

House Möbius from the south (around 1910). The castle of peace on the mountain.

The mountain inn, which also served as a hotel from 1895, has become a popular excursion destination thanks to the preferred view from the edge of the slope. In 1896 a veranda was added for Carl Hermann Schmidt by the builder FA Bernhard Große and in 1902 an additional terrace. In 1925–1927, Gustav Stübner carried out further modifications by the architect Alfred Tischer .

The property, which has been in the possession of the Stübner family since 1914, was leased to HO in 1963, taken over as a guest house by Druckmaschinenwerke Planeta in 1969 and rededicated as a training and holiday property in 1977 by Halle construction mechanization. The restaurant itself was run by the HO from 1961 to 1990 .

After a "legally controversial privatization", as one of the former co-owners from the Stübner family had applied to buy back the property in April, the Friedensburg came into private ownership in May 1990 via the trust company for the price of 160,000 DM. In 1992 a hotel and investment company was the leaseholder of the Friedensburg, and in 1993 the restaurant was closed. In the following years, the outdoor terrace was temporarily managed.

In 1999/2000 the facade of the listed building was renovated and the interior was rebuilt and modernized. In August 2001 the owner died as a result of an accident and the creditor bank was looking for a successor, who was found in 2003.

Since the city of Radebeul had no right of first refusal, the city held talks with the new owner about how to proceed after the sale. In response to the owner's intention to operate the restaurant again and to design the outdoor facilities in a park-like manner, the city passed a resolution on a development plan to secure this project in October 2003. In July 2004 a building application for a restaurant with 60 seats on the ground floor as well as accommodation and an apartment on the upper floor was submitted and approved in early 2005. In April 2006, the development plan, which contained the provisions of the building permit, was approved by the city council and became legally binding in July. In April 2007, the city administration received documents showing deviations between the construction work and the permits, which were confirmed during a control inspection. The following application for supplementary approval contained changes to the room layout, but still contained the use of gastronomy and the company apartment. However, the building authority approval from April 2008 was contradicted by the owner. This was followed by a norm control application by the owner before the Saxon Higher Administrative Court against the legally valid development plan, which had not yet been decided in October 2010. The objection to the supplementary approval was rejected by the Dresden State Office.

In March 2011, a sales advertisement was placed on the Internet in which the Friedensburg was offered for sale for 3.5 million euros. According to the advertisement, "the stately building complex now comprises 5 self-contained residential units, a large hall-like staircase with an atrium character, the newly founded tower and the specially designed outdoor facilities with park character, new driveway, newly designed terrace and outdoor facilities, leisure and fitness area with swimming pool, sauna and fitness room . “Since May 2011, the draft plan for the Friedensburg development plan has been available for public inspection and comment. Until the development plan became legally binding, the city council decided in April 2011 to prohibit changes to the area around the Friedensburg. In December 2011, the city council decided on the development plan for the statutes, in fact the continuation of a previous resolution.

A foreclosure auction followed in 2014. Since then, the responsible higher administrative court has continued to deal with the current development plan, the building application for the renovation of the restaurant and the question of whether a restaurant in the Friedensburg could be operated economically. In 2015 an expert opinion was requested, which was presented in mid-2016. The higher administrative court in Bautzen has to decide.

Max Strauss , the eldest son of the politician Franz Josef Strauss, lives there as the current resident (as of March 2016) and as the general representative of a medical technology company .

Friedensburg vineyard

By April 2008, around 2000 m² of vineyard walls were set up in the vineyard below the Friedensburg, which is now separated in terms of land. In the same month, the Saxon wine queen Irene I and many volunteers planted vines of the Riesling , Pinot Noir , Gutedel and Traminer varieties 50 years after they were last used as a vineyard . The vineyard is managed by the municipal Hoflößnitz winery .

The vantage point on the upper eastern edge can be reached via the public vineyard staircase, which begins in Bodelschwinghstraße on the right of No. 8 , leads past the Besenschänke Haselbusch and then opens up the steep climb.
