Cotta, located in the western part of the Saxony state capital Dresden, is a district within the city of the same name.
Founded as a Slavic village on the Elbe, Cotta was first documented in 1328. In 1903 it was merged into Dresden along with many other communities. Today, the district is centrally located in the western part of the state capital and features the mouth of the Weißeritz River. Predominantly characterized by buildings from the Wilhelminian period, only a few houses from the historic village center still remain in Cotta.
