Radebeul is twinned with Sierra Vista (Arizona, USA), Obuchow (Ukraine) and St. Ingbert (Germany). It is sometimes called "Saxon Nice" for its pleasant landscape and mild climate. HISTORY A village Radebeul was first mentioned in 1349 . In 1905 it absorbed the neighboring village of Serkowitz. On April 1, 1924 Radebeul became a town. Meanwhile, the neighboring village of Kötzschenbroda had taken over Lindenau in 1920 and Naundorf, Zitzschewig und Niederlößnitz by 1924, when it was made a town as well. In 1934 Wahnsdorf and Oberlößnitz joined Radebeul, and on January 1, 1935 the towns of Kötzschenbroda and Radebeul were united under the name of Radebeul ("Kötzschenbroda" having a slavic root, this name was considered too "ungermanic" at the time). In 1947 Radebeul was made part of the district of Dresden. In 1995 it received the status of a major town inside the rural district (''große Kreisstadt''); when the rural district of Dresden (Dresden-Land) was dissolved, Radebeul became part of the district of Meißen . TRAFFIC The town can be reached with the Dresden city trolley line number 4 for example. This Dresden linie reaches until Weinboehla which is a little town behind Radebeul, as seen from Dresden. This trolley line is the longest in the area. |
