The publisher, author and photographer of this book was born and bred in Radebeul. This can be an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time for a book of plates like this. Things that have been there from your childhood may easily escape your notice. Emotional experiences might, for example, make you place undue weight on the motif of a bench in a park. On the other hand, a local author might take an unexpected route where the mainstream goes “straight on”.

Apart from splendour, the book reflects peace and modesty. Odd, eccentric and exceptional details are found both in harmony and in contrasts. The town and its landscape abound in such motifs. The selection presented here cannot be more than a small section. Half a search for traces, half a journey of discovery, these photos have come from the author’s tours of Radebeul in the first decade of the 21^st century.
