location

Altarm depression of the Elbe near Zschieren

Together with Kleinzschachwitz , Zschieren is located on a mountain surrounding the Elbe opposite Pillnitz . The southern and eastern parts of Zschieren include an old Elbarm, which is lower than Zschieren itself and includes Zschieren and Kleinzschachwitz during floods.

Zschieren is bordered by Heidenau in the south and Meusslitz in the west. Neighboring to the northwest is Kleinzschachwitz. In the northeast and east, on the other side of the Elbe, are Pillnitz and Söbrigen .

history

The village of Zschieren is of Old Sorbian origin. It was first mentioned in a document by the nobleman Ramvoldus de Schirin in 1242, and at the same time it is a manor . The lords of Zschieren are likely to have been vassals of the Burgraves of Dohna and could be connected to Ramvoltitz, a desert in the direction of Dresden. Due to its proximity to the Elbe and its location on the front of the old Elbe island , Zschieren is repeatedly hit by floods. For example, three houses were destroyed in 1784 and two buildings were torn away by the water in 1830.

Only in the 20th century was Zschieren developed into an urban area and a residential suburb. In 1930 the lido Wostra was created, which today forms a complex of outdoor pool and campsite. On July 1, 1950, Zschieren was incorporated into Dresden. In the period that followed, some gravel pits were built in the old Elbarm.

Buildings and cultural monuments

Mainly bourgeois villas were built along the Elbe in Zschieren, which do not show a distinctive transition to Kleinzschachwitz. The northwestern part of Zschieren is therefore often incorrectly assigned to Kleinzschachwitz.

Large parts of Zschieren are built on by cooperative twin houses from the 1930s and by simple multi-family houses along the main streets. The village center of Zschieren lies in the far east.

traffic

West of the district is the final stop Kleinzschachwitz of tram line 2. The tram ride to the city center takes about 30 minutes. City bus routes 65 and 86 run directly through Zschieren. They connect the district of u. a. with the Dresden S-Bahn network ( Heidenau and Dobritz stations on lines S 1 and S 2 ).

Zschierener gravel pits

Gravel pit on Tronitzer Strasse

From 1981 a gravel mine was operated in Zschieren . The three mining fields I, III and IV were completely flooded during the Elbe flood of the century in August 2002 and the gravel mining stopped afterwards. The gravel pits that remained after the end of gravel mining are located in an old, drained Elbe river and are part of the landscape protection area of Dresden Elbe meadows and arms .

The gravel pit on Tronitzer Strasse on mining field IV has so far been used by the Dresdeners for swimming, although this is forbidden in this body of water as it is a mining area. At the beginning of 2018, the gravel pit was fenced in and is e.g. Currently filled with excavated soil from Dresden construction sites. The gravel pit should be completely filled by the beginning of 2019. What should happen to the fish is still unclear.
