Zechstein

Zechstein is a winery in Radebeul featuring buildings with Saxon architecture nestled among vineyard slopes. The structures include stone foundations and underground cellars that serve as storage spaces for aging wine.

The property emerged during the period when Radebeul developed into a significant wine region in eastern Germany. The area became known for its slopes, which proved ideal for grape cultivation and wine production.

The winery preserves techniques of Saxon wine production passed down through generations of local winemakers. Visitors can observe how traditional methods continue to shape the grapes harvested from the surrounding slopes.

Zechstein sits roughly 500 meters from Radebeul train station and is easily accessible by regional rail service. This connection makes it simple to reach the site nestled among the vineyard slopes.

The property serves two roles today: it holds official status as a cultural heritage monument while simultaneously producing wine in active vineyards. This dual function is uncommon, as most historic wine sites operate primarily as museums or tourist attractions rather than working estates.
