'''Radebeul''' is a historic villa town between Dresden and Meissen in Saxony, Germany.
It is essentially a suburb of Dresden, but not officially within city limits. A wine town, it is famous for Karl May, "father" of ''Winnetou'' and ''Old Shatterhand''. Radebeul has become the richest town in Eastern Germany. It is situated near the Dresden microchip manufactures and the Dresdner Heide, the largest forest within Dresden city limits.

The living conditions are considered core competence of Dresden compared to the other metropolitan city of Saxony, Leipzig.
