Biesnitz

Biesnitz is a residential neighborhood of Görlitz with streets named after notable German figures such as Johann Sebastian Bach and the Scholl siblings. The area combines housing with tree-lined streets that create a green and orderly character.

The area first appeared in written records in 1015 under the name Businc in a chronicle by Thietmar von Merseburg. It remained as two separate villages until becoming part of Görlitz in 1951.

The buildings throughout the neighborhood display wooden galleries and details that reflect the construction style common to this Upper Lusatian region. These structures shape how the streets look and reveal traditional building practices from centuries past.

The neighborhood is easily accessible from central Görlitz via tram line 2, which serves the main transportation needs. The nearby Landeskronen-Express shuttle provides convenient access to the adjacent mountain area.

The neighborhood sits at the base of Landeskrone mountain, providing direct access to this local landmark. The mountaintop features a historic castle hotel and an observation tower that visitors can easily reach from the district.
