history

Map of Oberreit with Beiersdorf from 1821–22

The establishment of the Beiersdorf settlement apparently took place after 1200 during the time of the German peasant land seizure by locators. When it was first mentioned in a document on January 21, 1272, the place was listed as an episcopal Meissnian interest village, together with the villages of Cunewalde, Spremberg and Niederfriedersdorf. From 1559 on, Beiersdorf was part of the Electorate of Saxony and belonged to the Stolpen office. The Beiersdorf manor had only developed gradually. In 1489, Hans von Rechenberg auf Oppach was enfeoffed with Beiersdorf by Bishop Johann von Meißen . From then until the 17th century, the village remained in the possession of the Rechenberg family.

In 1939 Neulauba was incorporated.
