Weißeritz valley
The river runs the length of the town, with road and railway alongside it. Together they form a strong central spine that organises the entire map.

The map
Freital lies just southwest of Dresden in the valley of the Weißeritz. The Red and Wild Weißeritz rivers meet at Hainsberg, and the combined river runs northeast through the town toward the Elbe. The main road and railway run along the valley floor beside it. The result is a long, narrow town, with side streets climbing the wooded slopes.
The town itself is relatively young. It was formed in 1921 when several industrial villages, including Deuben, Döhlen and Potschappel, merged under a new name. Coal mining in the Döhlen basin and later steelmaking shaped its growth. The Windberg hill overlooks the valley, and downstream the river enters the narrow Plauenscher Grund before reaching Dresden.
A Freital map poster is essentially a portrait of a valley. The river, rail and road run in parallel, with the old village centres strung along them. Terraced streets rise up the valley sides on either side.
The river runs the length of the town, with road and railway alongside it. Together they form a strong central spine that organises the entire map.
Former villages such as Deuben, Döhlen and Potschappel can still be seen as small street clusters along the valley. They are traces of the 1921 merger.
Residential streets zigzag up the valley sides toward the heights. Their tight curves contrast with the straight lines along the valley floor.

Why Freital
Freital is a hometown for many, and a commuter base for Dresden. A map of it, titled with a street, a family name or a year, gives a clear sense of the valley you grew up in or moved to.
Classic black & white and Noir emphasise the valley's linear structure. Blueprint suits the town's industrial past, and Paper and Sand are softer options. There are six sizes, including 50×70 cm and A2, as 300 DPI PNG and PDF files.
