Die Villenkolonie Altfriedstein in Niederlössnitz/Radebeul

The city of Radebeul, only a few kilometres downstream from Dresden, the capital of Saxony, is now known as the wine and garden city. From the middle of the 19th century, extensive villa complexes were built on the vineyards of the Elbe villages. Research to date has focused on 19th century buildings in their various forms of historicism. The largest contiguous settlement in the Lößnitz region is the villa colony Altfriedstein in the Niederlößnitz district. It was designed and marketed as a speculation project by Schilling & Graebner, Dresden's most important architectural firm at the time. Tobias Michael Wolf spans the arc from the history of architecture to the layout and history of the buildings on Altfriedstein. The book is aimed at historical and arc.
