City history
Welcome to the history of Radebeul! We invite you to embark on a journey through time, immerse yourself in the town's history and gather all kinds of interesting information.
Radebeul - that's wine, that's Karl May, that's the narrow-gauge railway. But the historical development reveals much more. Its importance as a garden city, as a business centre and as a spa town is evident. Art and culture have also always been celebrated and many important personalities such as Friedrich Eduard Bilz, Magdalene Kreßner and Gerhart Hauptmann are closely associated with this town. Here you can rediscover various biographies or browse through the history archives for all kinds of curiosities.
On this page you will find everything you need to know about using the town archive and family research, as well as reports and insights from our trainee into everyday life in the archive.
