Location of the municipality of Bahretal in the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district

View over Gersdorf to Friedrichswalde. In the very background the Elbe valley between Dresden (left) and Pirna (right) can be seen.

The municipality of Bahretal in the Saxon district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains is located south of Pirna . It extends over the northern roof of the eastern Ore Mountains , the Elbe valley slate area between Gottleuba and Dohna . With its neighboring cities of Liebstadt and Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel , it became part of the Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel administrative association in 2000 .

geography

landscape

The community is characterized by a hilly low mountain range. The villages emerged as row villages in high and late medieval clearing areas ( Waldhufenflur ) (with the exception of Niederseidewitz, which is partly an extended round in a block corridor) and are between 240 and 370 m above sea level. NN in the valleys of the Bahre and Seidewitz as well as on the heights in between. Some prominent elevations in the municipality are the mountains Schärfling ( 418 m above sea level ), Herbstberg ( 442 m above sea level ), Roter Berg ( 428 m above sea level ), Mühlberg ( 339 m above sea level ) and Bahreberg ( 295 m above sea level ).

location

The river Bahre , which as a Bahrebach about 1.5 km north of the place Breitenau (town Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel ) at 505 m above sea level. The NN rises and is fed by three further source streams (Gersdorfer Bach, Wigendorfer Bach and Bornaer Bach) near Gersdorf, runs through the community. Between the districts of Borna-Gersdorf and Friedrichswalde-Ottendorf, a retention basin was completed in 1970 , which was planned after the flooding of the Eastern Ore Mountains rivers ( Gottleuba , Bahre , Seidewitz , Müglitz ) in 1957.

The Seidewitz also flows through the districts of Nentmannsdorf and Niederseidewitz , which takes in the stretcher shortly after Beimendorf and flows into the Gottleuba in Pirna at the level of the retirement and nursing home on Einsteinstrasse , which in turn flows into the Elbe shortly afterwards .

Community structure

Bahretal consists of the eight districts Borna , Friedrichswalde , Gersdorf , Göppersdorf , Nentmannsdorf , Niederseidewitz (also: Seidewitz; with Oberseidewitz and Zwirtzschkau ), Ottendorf and Wingendorf .

history

View of Ottendorf Castle. The castle was the early center of power in what is now the municipality of Bahretal.

The development of the places in the Middle Ages (around 1300) was largely shaped by the von Bünau auf Liebstadt and Weesenstein and von Bernstein , von Lindenau and von Carlowitz families in Ottendorf. They were mainly administered by Ottendorf Castle (built in the 16th / 17th centuries) and the Gersdorf manor.

Origin and naming

Gersdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1299 as Gerhardisdorf . The name comes from a locator (locator, Latin for landlord, landlord) who organized the settlement on behalf of the responsible feudal lords (probably from Liebstadt or Pirna ) and recruited settlers. The same applies to the place names of Ottendorf, Friedrichswalde and Göppersdorf. In the document mentioned, today's district of Gabel was also mentioned as Villa Gabele . The name probably comes from the Slavic Jablonne and means something like "apple tree location ".

The name Bornas is derived from the Wendish Borne , which means "Lehmbach" or "Lehmfeld". It was first mentioned in 1388.

In 1311 Friedrichswalde and its church were first documented. Historians attribute its foundation to Friedrich von Karaz, who was mentioned several times in documents between 1206 and 1220.

Like all villages in the region, Göppersdorf and Wingendorf (also Groß- and Kleingöppersdorf) were settled by Franconian and Thuringian farmers. The "great and cleyne" Gotfridersdorf (again the name of a locator Gottfrid) was first mentioned around 1437. The place Göppersdorf has been written since the 16th century. The Waldhufendörfer belonged to the Liebstadt rule until 1855. In 1486 it is said for the first time "im dorffe zcu Wenigißdorff, called kleyne Gopperßdorff". The district received the final name Wingendorf in 1557 via forms of name such as "Weinigsdorff", "Wiengendorff", "Windtorff" and "Wittichendorff".

The name of Nentmannsdorf is Saxon and is derived from the name Nantwin ( Old High German means “nantha” = daring or bold, “wini” = friend), who was probably also venerated as a saint. The first mention is in 1338. That of Niederseidewitz in 1411. The Laurich (formerly an inn) is also included in Nentmannsdorf. The settlement areas Eulmühle and Zwirtzschkau belong to Niederseidewitz.

Ottendorf was first mentioned in 1299. The first documentary mention probably even falls on 1294, because the document shows 1344 as the date, but the persons involved refer to the year 1294. The village was probably founded by Otto von Donin , which could have happened at the beginning of the 13th century . The name varies little in the following years: Othendorff and Ottindorff.

Historical ownership, judicial and pub systems as well as parish

Borna

General view of Borna around 1860

When it was first built, the village probably belonged to Dohna Castle , but came to Weesenstein as a result of the Dohna feud . In 1406 it was mentioned in a loan letter from Günther von Bünau auf Weesenstein. A few years later (1455) it was mentioned in the total loan letter of those von Bünau for Liebstadt. This was confirmed again and again in further loan letters up to 1554. After that, the owners changed several times. The place is used as a pawn or sold. In the following years it belonged to the owners (von Bernstein, von Bünau , von Reichenbach, von Metzsch , von Wolffersdorff , von Leyser , von Carlowitz) of the surrounding castles in Liebstadt, Weesenstein, the manors in Gersdorf, Ottendorf, Krebs or Giesenstein. In 1731 it was even owned by Count Moritz von Sachsen . Since the 17th century, a judge's estate ( inheritance and feudal court ) can be proven in Borna . Since 1507 Borna was also subject to the Liebstädter beer and salt compulsory (according to a comparison of the cities of Lauenstein and Liebstadt from 1494). However, already two years later, taking into account complaints from the Pirna Council, it was instructed that the villages belonging to Liebstadt may also buy their beer in Pirna. The comparison of 1494 is confirmed again and again well into the 18th century. Like the place, the church is mentioned in a document from the Dohna burgraves in 1388 . Presumably she was self-employed at the time. Later (1495) it belonged to Pirna and to the Archdeaconate of Nisan. With the Reformation , introduced here in 1539, the Borna Church came to Liebstadt. The diaconate in Liebstadt served as the rectory. However, Borna got its own registry office in 1894.

Friedrichswalde

View of Friedrichswalde

As far as documents are available, the place belonged to the Weesenstein lordship . In 1553 disputes over the beer bar in the village between Weesenstein and the council of Pirna were settled. In 1649 the owner of the Friedrichswälder Lehngericht was authorized to sell salt. Despite the Pirna beer obligation, Weesensteiner beer was served in Friedrichswalde around 1699. In 1816 the hereditary court got the right to stop, slaughter, bake, trade, distill and sell brandy, as well as beer taverns with any place of purchase. Like the town, the church was first mentioned in a document in 1311. Like Borna, she belonged to Pirna and the archdeaconate of Nisan in 1495. Since 1501 parts of Niederseidewitz were pastured to Friedrichswalde. From 1640 to 1644 the Friedrichswälder Church was administered from Ottendorf for lack of a pastor.

Gersdorf

View of Gersdorf and the disused Borna limestone quarry

Gersdorf was divided into Obergersdorf or Gabel and Niedergersdorf until the 17th century. In the first documentary mentions, Niedergersdorf only served to describe the location of the village of Gabel. At that time, both villages obviously belonged to the district jurisdiction of the Dresden nursing home (late 13th and early 14th centuries under the rule of Margrave Friedrich von Dresden). In 1304, Gersdorf and Ottendorf were expressly removed from the donation of the Burgraves of Dohna to Dresden care. With restrictions on the rights of the castle count, both villages finally belong to Dohna according to the interest register of 1378.

With the outcome of the Dohna feud , the property of the two villages should have returned to the margrave. In the following years, various individuals were enfeoffed with individual goods, persons or things (for example the von Bernstein family on Ottendorf or von Nebelschütz ). Obviously, other possessions also belonged to two noble families residing in Niedergersdorf. One was probably the family of Körbitz ( "de Gurbewicz", "from Gorwicz"), as owner of the grange , which was later expanded to the manor. The other was probably the von Wurgwitz family who owned the Niedervorwerk.

In 1473, the Vorwerk fell through sale to a Heintzen von Rottwerndorff, with Hans and Georg von Rottwerndorff as a loan. In 1578 the von Bünau family owned all of Gersdorf on Liebstadt. In 1639 Gersdorf was sold to Colonel Ludwig von Kahlen , in 1657 it belonged to Bernhard Adolph von Meczsch , in 1734 it was owned by Count Moritz von Sachsen and in 1752 by the von Leyser family . After Klara Auguste von Ponikau (1784), Lieutenant General von Leyser became the owner (still verifiable in 1840), who expanded the manor, had the Gersdorf ruins built and did a lot for the economic development of the village (model economy, noble sheep farm, horticulture). Gersdorf never had its own church and has been parish to Ottendorf since ancient times. Apart from the mention of a judge in 1788, there is no reliable information about the jurisdiction.

Göppersdorf and Wingendorf

World War Memorial in Göppersdorf

Göppersdorf is a first time in 1437 as Gotfridestorf mentioned Waldhufendorf , which is located in a side of the Wingendorfer stream 340- to 400 m is height. The name is probably derived from a locator called Gottfried . Wingendorf was also mentioned in 1437 as a small Gotfridsdorf mainly located on the right bank of the Wingersdorf stream . The name goes back to the immediate neighborhood to Göppersdorf. In 1470 the place was called Weingendorf ( dialect weng / wing = little).

Göppersdorf and Wingendorf initially belonged to the von Bernstein family at Ottendorf. In 1447 it was sold to Elizabeth von Cziko (w), who was also born in Bernstein. Her brothers and cousins were also enfeoffed. As early as 1455, the villages in the possession of Liebstadt appeared (collective loan letter from those of Bünau). However, a part of Wingendorf apparently remained with the von Bernstein family.

Ecclesiastically, the villages also belonged to Liebstadt. Both places were parish there as early as the time of the Reformation.

The judicial estate (Kretschmar) was occasionally mentioned in connection with the naming of a judge and his taxation (first time 1661). Both villages, with higher courts and inheritance courts, belong to the Liebstädter Rittergut until the repeal of patrimonial jurisdiction by the Imperial Justice Acts in 1877.

Nentmannsdorf

Nentmannsdorf was mentioned in its first documented mentions (1417) as belonging to the Wehlen rule. This affiliation was confirmed in the feudal letters in 1515. However, the vassals of Nentmannsdorf already belonged to the Dohna (1445, 1458) and to the Pirna (1548) office. Later, individual goods or rights were given to different owners (von Wurgwitz, Nebelschitz, von Rottwerndorf, von Bernstein and von Bünau). In 1586 Hans von Lindenau zu Ottendorf received the village including the limestone mine. It remained in Ottendorf until the patrimonial jurisdiction was abolished.

In 1472 the judges' estate was designated as belonging to von Wurgwitz. In 1484 Hans von Bernstein was enfeoffed "with a half court". Nentmannsdorf was still subject to the Pirna beer obligation in 1699, but has not adhered to it.

Nentmannsdorf was pastured to Liebstadt in 1501 and 1548, after 1617 probably, from 1634 onwards to Burkhardswalde.

Seidewitz (Nieder- and Oberseidewitz, Zwirtzschkau)

View of Niederseidewitz

The goods belonged to different owners at the time they were built (von Torgaw, von Biberach, von Gorwicz, von Mogelin, von Karlewitz, von Worgewitz). In 1501 and 1542 the von Bünau (Weesenstein) family were also named as owners. But even under this rule various services (for example plowing, crockery services), interest and the like were assigned to other places or people. In 1724 Nieder- and Oberseidewitz were assigned to the Bünau manor Meusegast . In 1733 they belonged again to Weesenstein.

In 1501 Niederseidewitz was pastured to Friedrichswalde and Oberseidewitz to Dohna. In 1539 both places belonged to the parish Friedrichswalde.

Ottendorf

In 1304, Margrave Friedrich enfeoffed Burgrave Otto von Dohna with regional jurisdiction up to Lockwitz, but expressly reserved jurisdiction over Ottendorf and Gersdorf. In 1400 the sovereign lent the seat and Vorwerk to Barbara von Sullwitz. In 1412, several members of the Karas family and von Torgaw were enfeoffed with Ottendorf. In 1445 the village was owned by the von Bernstein family. The Bernsteins briefly disappeared from the files, but reappeared in 1529. Because of high debts they finally had to sell the property to a brother-in-law (Dedo Rauchhaubt) in 1582. The latter sold it to Thamme von Sebottendorff zu Rottwerndorff just a year later. Finally, Ottendorf came into the possession of Hans von Lindenau in 1586 . The von Lindenau family sold in 1598 to Rudolf von Bünau zu Weesenstein. After his death (1661) the Saxon Minister Sebastian Hildebrand von Metzsch and Albrecht Christian von Kromsdorf became the owners. In 1681 von Carlowitz appeared for the first time (initially as a tenant). From 1682 to 1709, Georg Heinrich von Carlowitz was named as the feudal lord and court lord of Ottendorf. Ottendorf remained in the possession of the von Carlowitz family until 1945.

The office of judge at Ottendorf was rolling, d. H. the hereditary lord could commission a resident of the place with it or take it from him again.

The church fief was first mentioned in 1447. The church was renovated from 1522 to 1524. In 1698 the nave was arched and in 1900 another major renovation took place. The cemetery, which is still in use, was laid out in 1885 with a mortuary hall. The parish included Ottendorf, Gersdorf and Dohma.

Historical and economic development until 1945

Limestone has been mined in Borna since 1551 . In 1713 Borna supplied the marble for the paving in the old Catholic court church in Dresden . The Borna people achieved a certain level of prosperity through the limestone quarries.

As in Borna also mined in Nentmannsdorf since 1586 Limestone (still in the 21st century is building the Saxon building material Union SBU Dresden amphibolite in Hartsteinwerk Nentmannsdorf in Seidewitztal, and ProStein wins in Friedrichswalde diabase ). The mining also helped the Nentmannsdorfern prospering. Underground mining experienced another strong boom around 1878 with the construction of the valley road from Pirna to Liebstadt. In the 1960s, the quarries were shut down for reasons of profitability.

The location on the Alte Dresden Teplitzer Poststrasse led to armed conflicts with marauding troops in the Thirty Years ' and Seven Years' War and especially during the Napoleonic War of 1813 (here the Russians and French fought bloody battles in the Nentmannsdorf limestone quarries, of which the Napoleonschanze at hostels) testifies), hardship and misery over the inhabitants of the region.

In 1877 the volunteer fire brigade Gersdorf was founded; Since then she has provided fire protection and general help. It had to pass its baptism of fire one year after it was founded. It extinguished four burning houses in Berggießhübel and went down in the history of the city as the “savior of Berggießhübel”.

In Gersdorf, too, she had to pass practical tests: for example, during the fire of the manor on July 19, 1888, about which she was alerted at 10:45 a.m., but a storm resulted in 13 houses falling victim to the flames despite vigorous intervention fell.

The floods in 1927, when the 50th anniversary of the fire service was to be celebrated, was another test. The anniversary celebration planned for August 28, 1927 had to be canceled and was rescheduled for February 28 and 29, 1928. The flood damage was immense, the Pirnaer Anzeiger reported “considerable damage to forests and fields”.

Historical overview after 1945

In 1955 the tower of the Gersdorf manor burned down, so that the overall view of the place underwent a significant change.

Because of their proximity to the Czechoslovak border, the villages were badly affected by the deployment of the Red Army in 1968 . Strong tank formations blocked the region's roads during the Prague Spring .

In 1970 and 1973, the villages were first amalgamated to form the communities Friedrichswalde-Ottendorf, Nentmannsdorf-Niederseidewitz and Borna-Gersdorf. When the Free State of Saxony was newly established after the fall of the Wall , a municipal area reform followed in 1994, after which these municipalities as well as Göppersdorf and Wingendorf were merged to form the municipality of Bahretal. In 2000 the towns of Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel and Liebstadt joined forces with the municipality of Bahretal to form an administrative community with Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel as a fulfilling municipality.

The community, which stretches across the valleys of the Bahre and Seidewitz , suffered severe damage during the floods in the summer of 2002 . The community's infrastructure, especially roads and bridges, was particularly hard hit. In the valley of the bier alone five bridges had to be built or renovated. There was also extensive work to rehabilitate the rivers, their retaining walls and the streets. With the renovation of the Dorfstrasse in Borna, most of this work was completed at the end of 2004. In total, the damage in the community added up to around 10 million euros .

religion

28% of the population are Protestant, 2% Catholic. On the Evangelical-Lutheran side, the Liebstadt - Ottendorf parish of the Saxon regional church is responsible, on the Catholic side, the parish of St. Heinrich and St. Kunigunde in Pirna, Diocese of Dresden-Meißen .

politics

Since the municipal council election on May 26, 2019 , the 14 seats of the municipal council have been distributed among the individual groups as follows:

Bahretal voter initiative (WIB): 12 seats, 82.0% of the votes
FWB:: 2 seats, share of votes 18.0%

The turnout was 71.2% (2014: 50.8%).

Attractions

The municipality of Bahretal has three churches in the districts of Ottendorf, Friedrichswalde and Borna.

Ottendorf Church

The church in Ottendorf is of Romanesque origin and therefore the oldest in the community. In the 14th century it was renovated in a Gothic style. Particularly worth seeing are the frescoes in the choir with images of the apostles and evangelists , which were created around 1500 but have only recently been rediscovered.

The history of the church is closely connected to the owners of the Ottendorf Castle. In 1591, Hans von Lindenau donated a complete interior to the church. The carved, three-storey Renaissance altarpiece by Franz Dittrich the Elder is particularly impressive . Ä. and the portrait of the founder, a work by Lucas Cranach the Elder. J. The church later became the burial place of the von Carlowitz family . Numerous epitaphs in the choir and nave testify to this .

Church of Friedrichswalde

The construction of the church in Friedrichswalde dates back to 1647. During the Thirty Years' War , Friedrichswalde and the church suffered heavy devastation. A new church building rose from the rubble. The tower and the west gable were added at the end of the 19th century, and the interior was adapted to contemporary tastes and renewed in a neo-Gothic style. An organ by the Jehmlich brothers , built in 1905 , sounds at the church services .

Borna Church

The church in Borna was first mentioned in the 14th century. At that time it was a chapel for the miners. In 1752 it had to be demolished because it was in disrepair. Just one year later, the villagers inaugurated the new building with a simple exterior on the same site. He is sitting on a hill, visible from afar.

All the more remarkable is the interior with the late Baroque aedicula pulpit altar (1756), a work by the Dresden court marble artist Andrea Salvatore Aglio . The marble comes from the Borna quarries. The altar is a gift to the Borna residents - in return for deliveries of marble to the Dresden court. The organ comes from the Dresden organ builder Jahn and was consecrated in 1858. In 1981 it was restored by Siegfried Creuz from Nentmannsdorf . In 1880 the church underwent another renovation inside. In the last two world wars, the church had to give up its three bronze bells (an older bell was dated 1563) for the production of weapons. They were replaced by cast steel bells. In 1976, donations from the 100 community members were used to order a new bronze bell in the Apolda bell foundry. In 2003 the church celebrated its 250th anniversary and was renovated on the outside on this occasion.

In 1995 Norbert Creuz (a trained porcelain painter) opened a farmer's museum in Nentmannsdorf (No. 35a) in the side building of his farm with the so-called “garage organ” (since 1978) belonging to his father Siegfried Creuz. After prior registration, you can also experience an audio sample of this instrument. Until 1989 it was also played in concerts.

Gersdorf ruins - etching by Ludwig Richter around 1820

Above Gersdorf you can visit the Gersdorfer ruin ( 388 m above sea level - around 1800). This was built as an artificial ruin and should serve as a hunting lodge. The ruin is an expression of romantic love for nature in the early 19th century.

The scenic location of the municipality with its hills and valleys is particularly noteworthy. There are also interesting sandstone formations, the rock bridges ( 399 m above sea level ) and the Zehista walls between Gersdorf, Cotta and Berggießhübel .

Cultural highlights and leisure activities

The cultural highlight is the local festival in Gersdorf, which takes place every year at the beginning of August and began in 1968. The local festival always took place in conjunction with the volunteer fire brigade's bird shooting . This bird shooting was first held in 1885.

Since 1997 the Motorsportclub Bahretal e. V. annually the Saxony championship in the auto rodeo cross on the Nentmannsdorfer Weinberg. In these three car races per year, teams from all over Germany compete against each other in order to achieve the coveted title of Sachsenmeister in Auto-Rodeo-Cross, which has been awarded since 1996.

“Borna sings and makes music” should become a tradition. This event took place for the first time in 2003.

Further events are regularly organized by the Heimatverein Borna-Gersdorf e. V. and the Bahretal volunteer fire brigade (it emerged from the Borna-Gersdorf, Göppersdorf-Wingendorf, Friedrichswalde-Ottendorf and Nentmannsdorf-Niederseidewitz volunteer fire brigades). The sports clubs and the businesses and craftsmen based in the community also regularly take part in the cultural activities in the districts.

Occasionally Ottendorf Castle also forms the backdrop for smaller classical concerts, readings or rock concerts. The youth, especially from Ottendorf and Friedrichswalde, meet in the club at the retention basin, a former building barracks, to chat, play billiards or table tennis or to celebrate. There are other youth clubs in Borna and Göppersdorf.

Since January 1, 2000, the Saxony State Association of Jeunesses Musicales Germany has its seat in Niederseidewitz. The Musical Youth Germany , State Association Saxony e. V., like the federal association, sees itself as a professional association for young musicians, organizes several courses per year, promotes the international exchange of young artists and is involved with Jugend musiziert .

Sports

Since the 1990s, several sports clubs have been formed that determine the sporting life of the community, for example the volleyball teams of SV Nentmannsdorf e. V. and the Borna-Gersdorfer Buffalo ice hockey team (1999).

There are riding stables in three districts of the community .

The MSC Bahretal e. V. operates its own cross track, on which auto-cross races take place regularly .

Budo martial arts have also been represented in Gersdorf since 1997 . In the ANSHIN Traditional Karate Gersdorf association, karate is trained twice a week.

school

There were schools in the districts of Friedrichswalde (1555), Gersdorf (1842), Göppersdorf (1806), Nentmannsdorf (1830) and Ottendorf (1548, but the school garden is said to have been mentioned in a contract as early as 1419). The school buildings still in existence date from 1837 (Nentmannsdorf), 1842 (Gersdorf), 1868 (Göppersdorf) and 1892/93 (Ottendorf).

Already in the 1960s and 1970s there was a concentration on the school in Gersdorf. To this end, a new school building was built in Gersdorf in the mid-1960s. However, since there was not enough room and individual lessons had to be held in the neighboring communities and the building fabric no longer able to withstand the requirements of modern teaching, a completely new school was built in the 1980s. This typical GDR - plate was inaugurated 1989th With the School Act for the Free State of Saxony of July 3, 1991, at the beginning of the school year on August 1, 1991, the general education polytechnic high school ( POS ) Borna-Gersdorf became the elementary and middle school Gersdorf.

Like many others, the community of Bahretal has not been spared the decline in the birth rate and thus the number of students. The primary school therefore had to close on August 1, 2001. Since then, primary school students have been trained in the primary school in Liebstadt . The middle school has also been closed since July 2006. Most of the students now attend secondary school in Bad Gottleuba. As a result, there is a large bus meeting in Gersdorf in the morning and at noon in order to be able to transport all the students to Bad Gottleuba.

Economy and Transport

economy

old lime shaft furnace (1926/27) at the disused Borna lime works

Main branches of business were and are agriculture and quarries ( marble , limestone , diabase or “green stone ”, amphibolite ). With the final closure of the Borna lime works (from 1965 to 2000 the three blast furnaces shaped Borna) in 2000, a major employer in the region ceased to exist. During the GDR era, cameras were still being repaired in Nentmannsdorf . A precision systems company later used the property. However, because they could not expand, they soon moved to the industrial park in Dohna. In addition to agriculture, a quarry in Friedrichswalde and a number of service and craft businesses have remained. In 2003 the Austrian plant engineering company Zeta relocated, which Nentmannsdorf wants to use as a starting point for its expansion into the German market.

The quarry in Nentmannsdorf was shut down in 2008 and diabase was mined in it. Now it is to become a diving center.

traffic

Old Dresden-Teplitzer Poststrasse near Göppersdorf

Bahretal is located on the historic Old Dresden-Teplitzer Poststrasse . There are several post mile pillars in the municipality : a reconstructed full mile pillar (1729) at Ehrlichtteich near Göppersdorf (original part in Kuckuckstein Castle in Liebstadt ), a restored half mile pillar (1729) between Niederseidewitz and Nentmannsdorf and an original quarter mile stone (1729) on the way from Seidewitztal . Two quarter milestones that are no longer in existence at Borna / Gersdorf and Wingendorf were manufactured and set up in 2012 as a remaining service by DEGES in accordance with the planning approval decision for the 17 federal motorway .

Several state and district roads run through the municipality from Pirna . Among them, the S173, which stripes the eastern municipal area, is of particular importance as the main artery. It leads from Pirna via Berggießhübel to the Bahratal border crossing and on to Ústí nad Labem (Aussig). Further tangents lead in the valleys of the Bahre (K8757) and the Seidewitz (S176) as well as at the height of Pirna -zuschendorf to Herbergen (K8760) through the municipality area.

Federal motorway 17 near Göppersdorf

During the construction of Autobahn 17 , the community received a junction (AS Bahretal) at the level of the districts of Nentmannsdorf and Friedrichswalde. The A 17 cuts through the municipality for a total of 11 km, starting with the Seidewitztal bridge to Börnersdorf . In addition, the S170 was completed on this occasion in December 2008 as a 3.7 km long new line from the Bahretal junction to the S173 in Cotta. The route is also the bypass of the districts of Friedrichswalde and Ottendorf. The core of the approximately € 18 million route is the 325 m long Bahretalbrücke, which spans the valley of the bier at a height of up to 28 m.

The community is served by the local public transport of the regional traffic Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains (RVSOE) with the lines from Pirna to Wingendorf, Berggießhübel, Bad Gottleuba and Liebstadt (partly also as part of the school transport). Since July 2003, however, no more weekend trips have been offered. The next train station is in Pirna.
