Location profile: the oldest large district
Freital lies 8.1 kilometres south-west of central Dresden in the valley of the Weißeritz. Potschappel is the north-eastern part, closest to the city, and one of the historic cores of the town, which was formed in 1921.
71.4 percent of residential buildings date from before 1949. Across the Freital town area the figure is 49.5 percent, in Zauckerode only 17.8. Potschappel is therefore Freital's large period-stock district.
Owner-occupancy of 56.8 percent matches the town figure almost exactly. At 5.1 people per residential building the share of apartment buildings is high, and vacancy stands at 4.2 percent.
What I observe here: in Potschappel the two valuation worlds sit close together. A renovated apartment building is calculated on the rent, an unrenovated house on the backlog of repairs. The whole price range lies between them.
Market data: price ranges and structure
- Houses: €2,400–3,100/sqm
- Apartments: €1,900–2,600/sqm
- Building plots: €150–260/sqm

This is the Freital price zone as of 2026, and it applies to the district as it does to the town as a whole.
For 84 percent of the census grid cells there are solid building values in Potschappel. The statement about build age is therefore well supported.
