Meaning:
The area alongside the Elbe River between Radebeul, first mentioned in 1349, and Kötzschenbroda, first mentioned in 1226, had been an area of viticulture for many centuries. Former seals of Radebeul displayed the wheel (German: Radand an axe (German: Beil), both punning elements. The bunch of grapes had been part of the municipal seals of the former municipalities of Serkowitz, Zitzschewig and Kötzschenbroda for more than 200 years. It is of course symbolising viticulture.
