Bischofswerda ( Upper Sorbian ) is a large district town in the Bautzen district on the western edge of the Saxon Upper Lusatia . It is the seat of the administrative association Bischofswerda . The place name is of Middle High German origin and means "bishop's settlement on the waterfront".
The unofficial name Schiebock is also in use for the city among locals and residents . In folk etymology , this is attributed to the term push-jack , a special type of wheelbarrow that used to be used to transport goods to the urban market. In fact, the name is derived from the old Sorbian place name Přibok (pronounced Pschiebock ), which means "on the side (the old road)".
geography
Geographical location
The small town is about 30 km east of Dresden in the district of Bautzen. The city did not belong to the historical Margraviate of Upper Lusatia , but describes itself as the “gateway to Upper Lusatia”, as the woodland that was only cleared in the Middle Ages met here with the open Sorbengau Milska, which has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Its seam, a wide, low saddle between the monastery and Butterberg massif , separates several natural spaces and is the watershed between the catchment areas of the Black Elster in the east and the Wesenitz in the west. Bischofswerda is located in the north-west Lusatian hill country and joins the Upper Lusatian area in the northeast and the Lusatian mountains in the southeast . The Wesenitz initially changes its previously north-westerly course up to the Horkaer ponds east of the city to a northerly direction and from there to the south-west. The reason for the striking change of direction, as a result of which the watercourse created a wide swampy depression, in which several ponds were later dammed, lies in the Pleistocene . The Wesenitz loop with its marshy surrounding area formed a natural line of defense in the south of the city, which is why the city wall in this area had to be built less expensively.
Neighboring communities
The urban area is bordered by Burkau in the north, Demitz-Thumitz and Schmölln-Putzkau in the east, Neustadt and Stolpen in the south and Großharthau , Frankenthal and Rammenau in the west.

history
The possible foundation of Bischofswerda already took place between 970 and 1076. The bishop Benno von Meißen is said to have raised the town of Werda in 1076.
Bischofswerda was first mentioned in a document in 1227. A parish church is already mentioned in 1229. Between 1218 and 1227 the square of the market was measured and the lines of houses were determined. In 1286 the city tower (Fronfeste) was built. This tower served as a prison until 1852. 1286 is also the year of origin of the first town hall. Bischofswerda received its first city wall in 1288, but it wasn't until 1361 that it was named a city in a document. In 1429 the Hussites burned the city down. In 1469 the second city fire occurred. In 1494 a bishop 's pond for fish farming was created by damming the Wesenitz , and a brewery was founded in 1503 at the behest of the bishop. Mills were built at the two outlets of the Bischofsteich to Wesenitz.
1544 the city council bought the manor Pücke (Pickau) with gardeners and cottagers, the schriftsässig associated village Geißmannsdorf, two farmers of Schonbrunn including the deserted village Teupitz and Scherfling with upper and lower courts from those of Bolderitz Meissen for 5200 guilders . Kynitzsch , "a village consisting of a mill and 4 gardeners," came into the town's property in 1546.
The city lords were the bishops of Meissen until the 16th century . In 1559 the last bishop of Meissen , Johann von Haugwitz , had to cede the city together with Stolpen to the Elector of Saxony . In 1596 the city burned down again. Except for six small houses and an inn, all buildings were destroyed.
At the beginning of the Nazi era, political opponents of the Nazi regime were imprisoned and mistreated in the town hall. Prisoners were transferred from the former district court to the “protective custody camp” in Bautzen.
From 1952 to 1994 Bischofswerda was the district town of the newly formed Bischofswerda district .
The Bischofswerda base of operations , one of the four central nuclear weapons depots of the group of Soviet armed forces in Germany, was located near Bischofswerda .
Incorporations
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Belmsdorf was incorporated.

City administration
The city administration has its seat in the Bischofswerda town hall. The municipal regulatory office, the treasury, the building office, the school and sports office and the cultural office report to the mayor of the city.
In addition to a wedding in the town hall's wedding room, the registry office also offers the opportunity to get married in the baroque Rammenau Castle .
coat of arms
The coat of arms of the city of Bischofswerda is based on a seal from 1392 with a bishop's staff and two stars. Since 1559 the city has had the new city coat of arms, which is still valid today, with the crossed bishop's staffs and four six-pointed stars. The exact origin of the city coat of arms is no longer verifiable because important documents are missing.
Two out of three city chroniclers attribute the city's name and seal to Bishop Benno , who is said to have founded the city of Bischofswerda when he evangelized the Meissnian region. The "island of the bishop", Werda, comes from Werder and refers to an island or land surrounded by standing water. Back then it was a patch of 17 ponds on the trade route from Pirna via Stolpen to Bautzen and Görlitz .
Emperor Maximilian added the second crook (bishop's) staff and two more stars to the seal. Possibly one wanted to emphasize the episcopal property. Others interpret the cross as a symbol for “law” and “gospel”. Although the exact meaning of the four stars is unknown today, they are variously referred to as “knower”, “ignorant”, “haves” and “dispossessed” or as “teachers in church and school”, “listeners”, “regents” and “ Subjects ”interpreted. Their six-pointedness is supposed to symbolize the six days of creation .
The last city chronicler, Karl Wilhelm Mittag , questioned the origin legend because of a lack of evidence.
A special feature of the city arms is that it is often held by an angel.

Culture and sights
Although a fire that broke out on May 12, 1813, cremated the entire city within the curtain wall (except for 3 buildings), the medieval city plan in Bischofswerda is exceptionally easy to read. At least the tower of the Fronfeste has been preserved from the former Dresden Gate. The closed inner city development from the years after 1813 has been almost completely preserved.
Particularly worth seeing are the Altmarkt, which is quite large for small towns , with its classicist town hall from 1818, with the Paradiesbrunnen (popularly: Evabrunnen ) and various town houses. In 2007 the old market was completely redesigned with a media tower that shows constantly changing messages. A metal prism was installed in this tower, which is controlled by a light barrier. If this is triggered by visitors, the prism moves in the media tower and changes its shape. The foundations of the old town hall that were excavated during the redesign of the old market were exposed and surrounded by a glass wall on which various information about the town's history is attached. Three pushers indicate the city's nickname.
town hall
Bischofswerda had an old town hall, which originated in 1286 elsewhere. In 1549, the second town hall was built, which was used to carry out the official duties of the council. This town hall stood on the site of the present one, its two gables facing the market.
In 1763 the old town hall was demolished. Parts of its foundation walls were found again in 2007 during repair work on the old market and incorporated into the new marketplace design.
The current town hall was rebuilt in 1818. The design came from Gottlob Friedrich Thormeyer , who demonstrably included parts of the second town hall. A door frame in the cellar shows the chronogram “1770” and proves, on the one hand, that components from the previous building from 1549 were taken over and, on the other hand, that there were also changes during the construction period. Thormeyer built the town hall with three floors and a flight of stairs to the first floor. It is covered by a hipped roof with a bell tower. From 1851 to 1852, the town hall was converted to reflect the use of the building, but this did not affect the exterior facade.
Since 2007 restoration investigations in the town hall have repeatedly been able to uncover original wall decorations, which will be incorporated into the 2009 renovation.
Parts of the Kursächsische Postdistanzsäule from the former Bautzner Tor, built in 1724 in the town hall, are on display in the town hall, while a replica from 1934/2009 is on the former bath gate in the mill pond.
Churches
Christ Church
Worth seeing is the Christ Church, which was rebuilt by Gottlob Friedrich Thormeyer after the town fire of 1813 , including the old walls, until 1818. This is particularly indicated by the preserved Gothic pillars on the south side, which are statically no longer necessary. The first church organ from 1571 was also lost in the fire, and a new organ was put into operation in 1825. The church owes the name Christ Church to the pulpit and altarpiece from 1889 as well as the mosaic of the portal (1907) by Josef Goller , which was manufactured by Villeroy & Boch . In 1926 Lossow & Kühne renovated the interior. Osmar Schindler created the sacristy painting Christ, the light of the world , in 1927 , but could no longer complete it. In 1941 the bells were withdrawn, but rediscovered in Hamburg (return 1948). The last interior renovation was carried out from 1990 to 1991. The exterior was renovated between 2004 and 2005, during which the classicist gray color of the facade - verifiable on original drawings by Thormeyer - was reconstructed after controversial discussions.
Church of St. Benno
The Catholic Church of St. Benno was built from 1923 to 1924 in the Art Deco style by the architect Rudolf Zacek. It forms a stylistic ensemble with the rectory. The tower is structured in a cubist manner. In 2008 the interior was restored in the original room colors. The facade was formerly painted green.
Kreuzkirche
The Kreuzkirche at the old cemetery of the city north of the old Bautzener Tor was built in 1574 as the city's first burial church. 1650, a new building replaces the 1631 burned by the Croats buildings, as a hospital church for the location next to the cemetery Hospital used the city. The church has a hipped roof with a cross on top. The rectangular hall is closed by a flat ceiling. It was renewed in 1814.
After the fire in 1813, sandstone work from the chapel of Stolpen Castle was taken over as a gift from the Saxon king: the crucifix, the pulpit and the two figures "Mary with the baby Jesus on the crescent moon" and "Saint Barbara". The crucifix is attributed to Christoph Walther II . The pulpit is probably the pulpit of the Gothic predecessor building of the Dresden Frauenkirche, created by Hans Walther II in 1556 . The font from 1561 probably comes from the main church, which was destroyed in 1813, and not from Stolpen.

Bishopric
The so-called bishop's seat on Dresdener Strasse was built in the classical style with a round stair tower and Welscher dome . It houses the Office for Culture, Marketing and Tourism, the Office for Education, Youth and Sport, the City Library and the Carl Lohse Gallery.
Parks
There are four parks in the city center, namely Lutherpark, Schillerpark, Goethepark and Käthe-Kollwitz-Park. The parks were laid out in the swampy area surrounding the former course of the Wesenitz. The Luther Park is located on the area of a spur of the former Goldbacher pond .
Animal park
The zoo was opened as a small animal park in 1957 on the occasion of the city's 730th anniversary. In the “smallest zoo in Saxony”, which is only one hectare in size, sixty different species are shown around the main theme “The Bear” and the main themes “Animals with us” ( domestic and farm animals ) and “Animals around us” (domestic wild animals ).
Memorials
- Memorial plaque from 1958 on the lower door of the town hall on Altmarkt in memory of the opponents of the Nazi regime who were abused there in 1933
- Memorial plaque on Altmarkt 17 in memory of the concentration camp prisoners on a death march from the Schwarzheide concentration camp subcamp , who were driven through the village by SS teams in April 1945
- Memorial stone in front of the secondary school on Kirchstrasse for the prisoners who were extradited from here to the “protective custody camp” in Kupferhammer in Bautzen .
- Stumbling blocks on the sidewalk in front of the door at Bischofstraße 15 with the names Hella Hoffmann, Friderike Hoffmann and Samuel Hoffmann. Friderike and Samuel Hoffmann ran a textile goods trade in Bischofswerda and were deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942. Friderike did not survive the concentration camp. Samuel could be ransomed by Switzerland as a sick prisoner. Her daughter Hella emigrated to Brazil in 1933.
Museums
- Since 1993 there has been a city museum in the city linked to the Carl-Lohse-Galerie (Dresdener Straße 1).
- At Altmarkt 14 there is a pharmacy museum in the cellar of the city pharmacy, which is open to the public by appointment.
Sports
Sports enthusiasts can work in the Wesenitzsportpark, which has a large gym and a stadium. There are other gyms and sports fields spread across the city, which are used by clubs and schools in the city. Bischofswerda also has a bowling alley (Süßmilchstraße) and bowling facilities (Bürgergarten restaurant) and an outdoor swimming pool. There is also a skate park near the cultural center.
The most famous sports club in the city is the Bischofswerdaer FV 08 , which made it into the GDR league twice . A dog sports club can be found on the outskirts in the direction of Schmölln. There is also a handball club in Bischofswerda, the VfB 1999 Bischofswerda, in which the first women's team already played the league.
Regular events
Bischofswerda is also colloquially known as Schubock , which folk etymology erroneously derives from the wheelbarrow-like, one-wheeled vehicle that farmers in the region used to bring their goods to the market. The so-called sliding stool days take place regularly in the city . The highlight is the world championships in push-push races, in which the competitors cart loaded push-push pushers over rough cobblestones through the city.
The events that take place every year on the small forest stage in the town forest of Bischofswerda are also among the cultural highlights of the town. The Gojko Mitic Bischofswerda e. V. has been organizing Germany's smallest Karl May games with the youngest actors on the Waldbühne Bischofswerda since 1993 . Every year over 10,000 spectators visit the 20 performances on the small open-air stage with 600 seats in the city forest of Bischofswerda. Around 80 children and young people and numerous animals take part in the annual new productions. In addition to up to ten horses, donkeys, bears, goats, dogs, pigeons, a giant snake and a bird of prey have played in the past few years. Since 2002 there has also been an adult cast. Former child actors and parents play in it.
Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
.JPG)
Bischofswerda is a station of the Deutsche Bahn and the East German Railway . There are direct connections on the Dresden – Görlitz and Bischofswerda – Zittau lines ; 80 local rail passenger trains run here every day ( regional train and regional express ). Individual trips are extended via Görlitz to Zgorzelec and via Zittau to Liberec .
The Bischofswerda station was built in 1845 with the construction of the Dresden – Görlitz railway line . The connection to Zittau has existed since 1879. In 1902 a connection to Kamenz was established , on which passenger traffic to Bischofswerda was discontinued in 1967. The station building was rebuilt several times. In the years 1883/84 several waiting rooms and the station restaurant were built. In 1934 the signal box was modified. In 1994, the Bischofswerda train station gradually lost various functions. In 2001, the entire station building without its own on-site dispatcher became dispensable for Deutsche Bahn. After the acquisition by the city of Bischofswerda, the building was partially demolished. The dismantling, which was completed in 2009, was preceded by the redesign of the station forecourt, which was completed in May 2005. 3.6 million euros flowed into the design of the junction between bus, train and individual transport ( P + R ) (75 percent of which came from the Free State of Saxony and 25 percent from ZVON ).
The Bischofswerda city bus traffic takes place under the leadership of the Zweckverband Verkehrsverbund Oberlausitz-Lower Silesia (ZVON) by the Beck bus operator . The first city bus line was set up on October 15, 1990 and improved the connection between the districts of Geißmannsdorf, Pickau, Belmsdorf and Bischofswerda-Süd. Further lines were created with the incorporation of Schönbrunn. The districts of Großdrebnitz, Goldbach and Weickersdorf are connected to the city center by the 183 regional bus . Fourteen other regional bus routes , mostly operated by Regionalbus Oberlausitz GmbH, connect Bischofswerda with the surrounding area. Lines 305 and 306 of the Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (VVO) connect Bischofswerda with Radeberg / Dresden and Bretnig / Pulsnitz .
The most important road connections are the federal road 6 to Dresden as well as the state road 111 to Bautzen in an easterly direction and further in the direction of Görlitz to the Polish border. At the end of 2011, a bypass was completed that connects the southern B 98 with the B 6, crosses it to the west of the city and, as an extension of the S 94 , connects with the Burkau junction to the A 4 , about 6 kilometers northwest of the city. In total, several bridges had to be built, including a 208 meter long bridge over the Wesenitzaue and the so-called "Haselmausbrücke" on the Hunger , via which pedestrians and cyclists can reach the Rüdenberg area in the south of the city and which is intended to serve as a road crossing for the rare hazel vole .
The closest commercial airport is Dresden Airport .
economy
The steel and metal construction, tool and mold construction and metal processing industries have long been established. The company Roth Umwelttechnik has been manufacturing flat rainwater storage tanks here along with the associated pump and make-up modules since 1991. Small sewage treatment plants are also part of the program. The SchoPlast company in the area of thermoset and thermoplastic processing has been based for even longer . The traditional branches of industry and craft meat processing and sausage preservation are somewhat smaller in Bischofswerda. In addition, the manufacture of wooden toys and artistic pottery also plays a major role, as does chimney, stove and fireplace construction, the extraction and processing of natural stone and the custom-made orthopedic shoes.
For the Canadian company ARISE Technologies, which started up its first production line for solar cells on April 17, 2008 in Bischofswerda , insolvency proceedings were opened on January 1, 2012.
Public facilities
The Saxon Institute for Communal Data Processing (SAKD) is located in Bischofswerda . In addition, there is a branch office of the Federal Employment Agency and the Office for Labor and Social Affairs in Bischofswerda . The Bischofswerda police station is subordinate to the Bautzen police station. The Bischofswerda hospital has around 150 beds.
media
The Sächsische Zeitung , the Mitteilungsblatt, the WochenKurier and the Oberlausitzer Kurier report on local events in and around Bischofswerda .
