history

Bühlauer Church

As anthropogenic testimony prehistory one was in 1940 Flint - Flachbeil found in a sand pit on the way from Schmiedefeld to Lauterbach.

The place was mentioned in a document in 1262 as Bela . According to another uncertain news, the village of Byla was mentioned in a document as early as 1121, when a castle was built by Germans on a mountain near it. Stolpen Castle is commonly equated with this castle . The name, which comes from Old Sorbian (derived from běła rěka = bright, white brook) and the German form of settlement as a Waldhufendorf indicate that an existing village established by Sorbs was reshaped by German settlers in the 12th century.

The road from Upper Lusatia to Franconia, known as Frankenstrasse , ran between Bautzen and Dresden via Bischofswerda and Großharthau (now part of Bundesstrasse 6 ). When the road quality deteriorated in the late 17th century and the Großharthauer landlady refused to expand it, it was temporarily relocated. The new route used part of the road leading from Bischofswerda via Weickersdorf to Stolpen, branched off on the way in the direction of Bühlau, crossed the Wesenitztal there, led south along the Kapellenberg and reunited with the Altstraße at Schmiedefeld.

Interior of the church

In the earliest times, the simple village church is said to have been a branch church of Schmiedefeld. Around 1500 it was already a branch church of Lauterbach. Arched windows on the east and south sides indicate the 16th century, the two bells date from the late 15th century. The octagonal ridge tower above the west gable was given a Welsche dome in 1858 . The interior has been furnished in a classical style since a renovation in 1844 and has a circumferential gallery and is dominated by the column-framed pulpit altar. The pewter baptismal font dates from 1669.

In 1559 the Reformation was introduced in Saxony and Elector August brought the office of Stolpen , which had been the episcopal office, and thus the administrative village of Bühlau, under electoral administration. With the separation of courts and administration and the associated formation of the administrative authorities , Bühlau came to the Pirna administrative authorities in 1874 (since 1939 the district ). In the course of the district reforms in the GDR , the district of Bischofswerda was founded on July 25, 1952 , to which the four communities of Bühlau, Lauterbach, Schmiedefeld and Seeligstadt were affiliated from the district of Pirna . On January 1, 1994, Bühlau and Schmiedefeld were incorporated into Großharthau, and Seeligstadt followed three months later.
