Riesa, Urban municipality in Meissen District, Germany
The town extends along both sides of the Elbe River, with manufacturing facilities and residential areas connected by multiple bridges at 109 meters elevation.
The settlement originated from a Slavic name Riezowe, first documented in 1119 through a letter from Pope Callixtus II establishing early Germanic presence.
The Trinitatis Church completed in 1897 and St Marien Minster from 1261 represent different architectural periods in the municipal religious landscape.
The SACHSENarena functions as a central venue for sports competitions, while the railway station connects travelers to Dresden and other regional destinations.
A 25-meter cast-iron oak trunk sculpture called Elbquelle, created by Jörg Immendorff in 1999, stands as an industrial art landmark in the city.
