geography
Arnsdorf is a street green village along the S 118 between Gaussig and Wilthen . Approximately in the center of the village, the K7252 branches off towards Bärwald / Tschelentsy , which then continues to Gnaschwitz . The circular hiking trails Pumphutsteig and Große Gaußiger Runde also cross here .
Neighboring towns are Dretschen in the west , Schwarznaußlitz in the north, Sora in the northeast and Irgersdorf in the east .
The place is embedded in the northern foothills of the Lusatian Mountains , in the valley between Großer Picho (499 m) in the south, the Soraer Berg (approx. 450 m) in the northeast and the ridge of Kapellenberg (354 m) and Dubina (377 m) in the North. The altitude of the place itself is assumed to be approx. 300 m in the valley (Wilthener Straße) and approx. 350 m in Neu-Arnsdorf (Schafberg).
The hill called Dubina ( Upper Sorbian oak forest), also known as “Dubine” or “Duwine” by the locals, is home to the homonymous farm, a remote homestead.
Typically there are three ponds in the center of the village in a network of a total of seven ponds in the local area, which are fed by the Langes Wasser brook that rises nearby . Also worth mentioning are the former Arnsdorf manor, the Arnsdorf sawmill and some preserved or restored half-timbered houses . There is also a war memorial , for products coming from the region war dead of the First World War .
history
_Rittergut.jpg)
The oldest known mention of Arnsdorf can be found in the Upper Lusatian border document from 1241. The Arnsdorf estate itself is then recorded in writing for the first time in 1363 as "Arnoldisdorf" as the so-called chamber and kitchen property of the Bishop of Meißen .
The former Arnsdorf manor with its manor house is framed by a small park in which sandstone sculptures used to stand on both sides of the outside staircase. Unfortunately, these sculptures were still “lost” as so-called “ public property ” in the post- reunification period. There were several owners of the estate, the last in the pre-socialist times was the Kirschau textile entrepreneur Adolf Friese . That Adolf Friese played a decisive role in the construction of the (new) school in Dretschen. He dedicated this to his sons who had died in the First World War.
The (saw) mill was first mentioned in 1701 as a grinding and oil mill . Until 1963, still owned by the Schuster family, flour was still ground here. After the nationalization, sawmill, now called “Holzverarbeitung Arnsdorf”, as part of the state forestry enterprise Löbau, continued to produce saw wood, fences and vegetable crates for the VEB OGS - fruit, vegetables and table potatoes . Even today, various products are made from wood in the sawmill. The saw gates here are certainly to be regarded as old-timers of their kind which, although modernized, still do their job.
Residents
In 2011 Arnsdorf had 150 inhabitants. Apart from a few rites (e.g. painting Easter eggs or the burning of witches ), no Sorbian traditions are still alive in the place. The bird wedding celebrated on January 25th also disappeared when the kindergarten was closed in the early 1990s.
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka had determined a population of 289 in the 1880s, including 176 Sorbs (61%) and 113 Germans. At that time the village was still on the southern edge of the Sorbian core language area. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population of only 16.3% in the municipality of Dretschen, to which Arnsdorf now belonged.
Until the 1920s there were individual residents (e.g. Kißal, Janno) whose colloquial language was Sorbian. Meanwhile, the Sorbian language is no longer present in everyday life, but Arnsdorf is still part of the official Sorbian settlement area .

Postcode history
Before the introduction of a postcode system, the comment “Post ü. Neukirch ”, which meant that the items were distributed via the Neukirch (Lausitz) post office. With the introduction of postcodes in 1943, the postcode (10) applies to Arnsdorf as well as to the entire Gau Sachsen . With the introduction of an independent postal code system in the GDR in 1965, the postal code 8601 now applied to Arnsdorf . After reunification, this zip code was continued as O-8601 due to the duplication in the federal territory with the addition for "East" . Since the reform of the postal codes in 1993, 02633 applies to Arnsdorf . A "community- wide postal code 02692 used by some administrations for Gnaschwitz as the seat of the municipal administration, however, is postally incorrect. After the last two municipalities amalgamated with its now 21 districts, the municipality Doberschau-Gaussig is separated into 3 postal codes. The standardization was made by the Deutsche Post AG with the requirement to the municipal administration to introduce missing or "decoupling" of existing street names in the districts, but ultimately never implemented for cost reasons.
