Wahnsdorf historic village green

Wahnsdorf is another of Radebeul's original communities and was first mentioned in 1350. In the 14th century it belonged to the Burgraves of Dohna and in the 17th century was controlled by the manor of Hermsdorf.

In 1445, the village comprised 17 estates. Wine growing was already practised at that time.

In 1420, there was mention of an outlying estate with a vineyard and press house. Around 1600 there were 70 vineyards in Wahnsdorf.

Wahnsdorf is laid out as a single-street village and widens out in the eastern part to form a meadow, some of which is built in two rows, on which a fire water pond was built in the 19th century. The construction materials of several closely spaced three-sided farmsteads dates back to the 18th century.

In terms of church and school, the village belonged to neighbouring Reichenberg.

In 1620, the inn Altwahnsdorf 56 was mentioned for the first time. A second village inn was built in 1870 with the inn "Zur Friedenslinde".

Other inns worth visiting are the Wilhelmshöhe, Zum Pfeiffer and the Zur grauen Presse restaurant.

In 1915/16, a meteorological observatory was built on the highest point.

On 1 April 1934, Wahnsdorf with its then 1000 inhabitants was incorporated into Radebeul and has had its own local council since 1990. Of all the Lößnitz municipalities, Wahnsdorf is still the most agricultural.
