The DRESDEN to RIESA series of early German steam engines, were tender locomotives operated by the Leipzig–Dresden Railway Company (LDE).

History

The three locomotives were delivered in 1844 and 1846 to the LDE by Hawthorn of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. They were christened DRESDEN, LEIPZIG and RIESA.

The locomotives were retired between 1861 and 1867.
