history

Administration building of the Saxon Hospital Arnsdorf
The Art Nouveau asylum church of the Saxon Hospital in Arnsdorf

In the 12th century, settlers from the Franconian - Thuringian area founded the forest hoof village Arnsdorf. The settlement area was divided between the Tanneberg and the swampy lowlands of the Schwarzen Röder on both sides of the village stream. The center of the settlement formed the inheritance court , the church and later the school. With the creation of tax lists by the Meissen Margrave Friedrich III. , the Strengen (1332 to 1381), "Arnoldistorf" (Arnsdorf), as well as many surrounding places, is mentioned for the first time in 1349/51.

In 1551 the village had 26 possessed men and 43 residents . The villagers lived mainly from agriculture and fish farming, in 1813 there were still 46 ponds. After 1815 peat was extracted in the Karswald .

With Radeberg and Stolpen Arnsdorf was by the " Old Salt connected or Czech Glass Road". The number of residents rose only slowly. In 1633 it was about 300 people. Wars, which often resulted in famine and disease, always brought setbacks. In 1631 the church, the court of inheritance and a number of properties in the middle village burned down. In the following years the raging plague . In 1834 Arnsdorf had 512 inhabitants.

On December 21, 1845 the Dresden - Bischofswerda railway line of the Saxon-Silesian Railway was inaugurated. The trains stopped at the Fischbach stop . The name “Alter Bahnhof” is still a reminder of this today. The Arnsdorf train station was opened on October 15, 1875 . As a railway junction on the Görlitz – Dresden and Kamenz – Pirna lines , the town had a favorable traffic situation. Companies in the wood, metal and glass industries settled here. The change from a pure farming village to an industrial and residential area began.

The development of the area around the train station and the establishment of the glassworks estate increased the number of residents to 1,773 by 1910.

Institution

The high point of the development was the opening of the Royal Saxon Sanatorium and Nursing Institution in Arnsdorf on April 1, 1912, which is now one of the largest in Saxony as the Saxon Hospital in Arnsdorf and ensures that Arnsdorf is well known in East Saxony. During the time of National Socialism, psychiatrists and nursing staff from Arnsdorf were involved in the so-called “ euthanasia ”. In the T4 campaign, the institution served as an intermediate institution for the Pirna-Sonnenstein killing center , with over 2,600 patients from and via Arnsdorf to Pirna being transferred and murdered.

Today's Karswaldsiedlung, the Dr.-Kurt-Fischer-Siedlung , Randsiedlung and the houses around the market were built between the two world wars .

coat of arms

The origin of the coat of arms goes back to the mid-seventies. The design was drawn up in preparation for the 750th anniversary in 1975. The local council at that time and the people's representatives of the municipality of Arnsdorf wanted to introduce the coat of arms. However, no approval was obtained. Nevertheless, the design has found frequent use since that time. Letterheads of the community showed the image of the coat of arms. The coat of arms in its current form has been adapted to the applicable guidelines in coordination with the Saxon State Archives and approved by the Bautzen District Administrator on October 15, 2013.

Arnsdorf coat of arms
 Blazon : “Half split and divided with a central shield ; forward above in Green two dive chevron example arranged golden ears of corn ; at the top in silver a red Aesculapian staff ; below, a silver cogwheel in red; in the silver centerplatewith a blue shield border three blue fish by the sheaf. "
The reason for the coat of arms: The ears of wheat stand for agriculture, the Aesculapian staff for the state hospital for neurology and psychiatry in Arnsdorf and the cog wheel stands for the local industry. The fish in the center of the coat of arms can also be found in the Arnsdorf seal and thus the oldest part of the coat of arms. Fish because Arnsdorf used to consist mainly of pond areas and fish farming was practiced.
