Spitzhaus Staircase

Whoever created this highlight probably couldn't decide between the Spitzhaus staircase and the staircase to the right of the Spitzhaus. ;-)

For August the Strong, Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann designed an annual stairway, each consisting of seven steps and 52 landings, from the Hoflößnitz to his planned, further pleasure palace on the edge of the Wahnsdorf plateau. It was to be built on the Wolframsdorf vineyard, which came into electoral ownership in 1710. After Pöppelmann's death, between 1747 and 1750, even 390 steps were built, making it the largest baroque staircase in Saxony, which climbs 220 meters straight and 76 meters high. It was restored from 1845 to 1847 by master builder Karl Moritz Haenel and extensively renovated in 1992 using Postaer sandstone and Meißner granite. It was expanded to 397 steps with 57 landings and is now used, for example, for the Radebeul staircase.
The Spitzhaus staircase leads past the striking entrance portal of the Goldener Wagen vineyard to the west, which gives the Radebeuler Goldener Wagen vineyard its name.

Starting point of the Spitzhaustreppe, which is ideal for training.
