Radebeul - Altkötzschenbroda

Do you love a comfortable ambience? If so, then why not pay a visit to the historical village center of Radebeul-Altkötzschenbroda? Between Wine Road and the Elbe cycle trail (Elberadweg) you will find an idyllic place with the unusual name of Kötzschenbroda, first recorded in 1271 as "Coschebrode". Among the ten original independent parishes of Radebeul, Kötzschenbroda, as a church and market town, was the strongest economically and the most interesting historically.

Little by little the village square sank into oblivion, however, and was even threatened with demolition. It experienced a new lease of life after German reunification - in 1992 it was designated for rehabilitation.

Today this historic village center has been developed into an architectural gem. The square is surrounded by original pubs with vaulted cellars, cafes, B&Bs and a hotel.

Galleries, studios, demonstration workshops and the local history museum await your visit.

This is a place to meet for brunch, to listen to music, to chat with friends. Besides designer fashion, souvenirs and antiques there are also places where you can buy local fruit and vegetables, fresh milk straight from the cow, and there is also a long-established traditional bakery.

Altkötzschenbroda is the most popular location for shopping in town for residents of Radebeul and visitors alike.
