With around 600 inhabitants, Zodel is the largest district in the municipality of Neißeaue . The place in the district of Görlitz in the east of Saxony is north of the district town of Görlitz .
geography
Zodel is located on a plateau of the Lusatian Neisse, about one kilometer west of the river, on the state road S 127 ( Bad Muskau - Rothenburg / OL - Görlitz) in the southeast of the community.
Surrounding places are on the Polish side of the Neisse from northeast to southeast Pieńsk (German Penzig ), Lasów (Lissa) and Żarka nad Nysą (Sercha) in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. On the German side, the Görlitz district of Ober-Neundorf joins in the south, Emmerichswalde in the southwest, Neu Krauscha in the west and Deschka in the north.
The Zodel wind farm is located northwest of the village .
history
Finds from the Neolithic and the late Roman period show that there was a settlement in prehistoric times. After the Great Migration , the Zodel district was also likely to have been deserted for some time.
Zodel was first mentioned in a document after the resettlement around 1325 in the Görlitz town book ("von deme Zcodel"). Towards the end of the century, Zodel belonged to the Penzig reign , which was at its peak around 1400.
The church in Zodel is also documented from the 14th century. Initially operated as a branch church of Niederludwigsdorf , it has been an independent parish church since around 1500.
A knight's seat is occupied in Zodel for the year 1445. Between 1460 and 1691 the neighboring villages of Zodel and Lissa belonged to the same manor. In addition to the manor in Nieder Zodel, there has been a second manor in Ober Zodel since 1704.
In the course of the Wars of Liberation , Zodel was besieged and looted several times in 1813. As a result of the Saxon assignment of territory at the Congress of Vienna , Zodel came to Prussia in 1815 and was assigned to the district of Görlitz ( Province of Silesia ) in 1816.
Towards the end of the Second World War , Zodel was attacked several times, so that over 100 buildings were damaged or destroyed. After the end of the war, the place took in a large number of refugees. After the administrative reform of 1952 , Zodel remained in the smaller district of Görlitz .
A Type III LPG was founded as early as 1953 . This sprinkled over 1000 hectares to increase the yield on the sandy soils.
The events of June 17, 1953 did not stop in Zodel either. As a result, six residents were sentenced to long prison terms, an average of eleven years.
On July 1, 1995, the municipalities of Groß Krauscha , Kaltwasser and Zodel merged to form the municipality of Neißeaue as part of the Saxon municipal area reform .

In 1777 21 man-owned , 18 gardeners and 19 cottagers were working in Zodel .
While Zodel still had just under 600 inhabitants at the beginning of the 19th century, their number rose to over 700 by the Franco-Prussian War. A somewhat slower growth phase was followed by a stronger phase from 1905, so that around 840 inhabitants at the outbreak of the Second World War are recorded.
After the war, many refugees are taken in Zodel, so that the number of inhabitants increases to almost 1200. The pre-war level was not reached again until the mid-sixties. From then on, the number of inhabitants fell almost steadily - with short interruptions - until it reached the first low after the reunification in 1993 at 645 .
By the turn of the millennium, the number of inhabitants rose again to almost 700, but could not be sustained and consequently fell below 600 in 2008 and reached a new low.
Place name
Documented forms of the place name include Zcodel (around 1325), Czodil (1342), Codel (1411), Czodell (1495), Tczodel (1518) and Zodel (1533).
The interpretation of the name is difficult because the locally quite given way as a place behind the mountains , altsorbisch za Del , because of the consistent written tradition with -o eliminated. Likewise, a derivation from the Middle High German zādel 'deficiency, affliction' seems unlikely. Ernst Eichler saw a derivation from the Old Sorbian sodło 'settlement' or sedło 'mountain saddle; Siedlung 'as possible, especially since a change from -e- before a hard consonant to -o- cannot be ruled out.
Personalities
The doctor and botanist Traugott Gerber (1710–1743), after whom the gerbera was named, was born in Zodel . A foundation and a museum have been established in honor of the town's most important son.
Another important son of the place is the pastor and historian Christian Gottlieb Kauffer (1757-1830).
