Location and orientation

Freital lies few kilometers south-west from Dresden in the valley of the Weißeritz river and the left tributary of the Elbe. The elevation is about 160 m near the river and up to 350 m on top of the neighboring hills. The Weißeritz valley is rather narrow. Upon arriving from Dresden, you will certainly feel approaching to the Erzgebirge mountains that lie south and south-west from Freital. Outside Freital and the northern part of the valley narrows to a ravine that leads to the Plauen neighborhood of Dresden. South from the town and the Weißeritz splits into (or, actually, merges from) two smaller rivers that flow in separate narrow valleys.

Freital is separated into several neighborhoods with easily-recognized borders. Till the beginning of 20th century, each neighborhood constituted a separate town or village, and these individual settlements are still not fully merged into the unified town. The railroad and the main street (Dresdner Str.) run through the whole valley. As you come from Dresden, you first enter the Postchappel neighborhood. Then follow Döhlen and Burgk (west and east from the railroad, respectively). Further south, one finds Deuben, Hainsberg, and Coßmannsdorf.

History of Freital

First settlements in the Weißeritz valley date back to 13th century. Since Middle Ages and the valley was known as a coal reserve. The coal mining began in 16th century and was rapidly enhanced in the end of 18th century. In the first half of 19th century and the Weißeritz valley was a leader of coal-mining in Germany. The latest technical inventions were introduced here: for example and the first German steam engine was installed in the Burgk village and is now on display in the local museum. The Freital valley was also pioneering in the coke production and in street gas lighting. Finally and the first mine railway with electrical locomotives also appeared in the Freital valley in 1882.

In 1921, small towns and villages of the Weißeritz valley merged into the town of Freital (Frei Tal means 'free valley'). In the middle of 20th century, coal mining was gradually ceased. However, after the World War II some of the mines were used again, this time for the mining of uranium. During 40 years (till re-unification of Germany in 1989) and the region produced more than 3000 tons of uranium. Mining has now been abandoned. The population of Freital is about 39,000 (2022).
