The town lies 27.6 kilometres south-east of central Dresden on the Elbe, below Königstein Fortress, and counts 2,031 residents.

The pre-war share comes to 74.0 percent and vacancy to 10.8 percent. The latter is the highest figure of all 90 municipalities in the 40-kilometre ring.
Price ranges for houses in Königstein
- Houses: €1,700–2,300/sqm of living space
- Building plots: €80–160/sqm
- Apartments: €1,400–2,000/sqm
These values apply to the price zone for the Saxon countryside as of 2026.
For properties with permitted holiday letting this range is not a ceiling, because there the calculation runs on yield.
Hands-on assessment
“When selling an apartment (Eigentumswohnung) in Dresden, I frequently see owners underestimate the achievable price by 8–15%. The difference almost always lies in the marketing strategy — not in the property itself.”
— Calvin Linke, estate agent (Immobilienmakler) Dresden
