Federal highway 169 , which can be reached via a side road, runs south of Bobersen . Bobersen is connected to Riesa via this road . The Gröba district is across from Bobersen on the other side of the Elbe. The Döllnitz flows into the Elbe opposite Bobersen. The Riesa – Elsterwerda , Riesa – Falkenberg and Leipzig – Dresden railway lines run south of the village .

history

The area around Bobersen was settled early on, as prehistoric and early historical finds prove. The place was first mentioned in 1288 when the monastery Sankt Afra in Meißen sold ten and a half shock grain and oat decem grain in Pobrese to the Riesa monastery .

An Alodium is mentioned in 1308 when the Riesa monastery sold 14 Schock Korn and 21 Schock oats Decem grain from the Allod of a Raspo in Bobersen to the Meissen Abbey. In 1551 a Vorwerk is mentioned and in 1696 a manor.

In 1696 the then owner of the place, Georg Ernst von Borau built the castle. The castle changed hands frequently over the next 200 years. The last owner before the Second World War was Emil Harz. The property did not fall under the land reform. The former farm yard was used by the Riesa-Göhlis estate from 1950. After 1945 the castle was used as a kindergarten, apartment and municipal office. After the fall of the Wall it was sold and is privately owned in 2014.

In 1625 there was a ship mill in Bobersen , which burned down in 1809 and was not rebuilt. In 1788, a conflagration in Bobersen laid plots No. 1b to 21 in ashes, which was a large part of the area at that time. A teacher is mentioned for the first time in 1712. Convertible school teachers who taught in rented rooms and were also responsible for other villages secured the lessons at that time. After the introduction of a school law, a permanent teacher was hired and Bobersen and Lessa were united in a common school district. In 1827 Bobersen built a school building together with Lessa, which was inaugurated on October 7 of the same year. The place is verifiably parish to Gröba since 1539 and belongs to the parish Riesa West since 1974. Around 1840 the inhabitants were transferred to church services by 4 ferrymen living on the Elbe in boats for an annual fee. In 1775, a cemetery was inaugurated on the outskirts of the village to enable burials during floods. From 1863, after a court ruling, the Lessaers also buried their deceased in this cemetery.

On November 16, 1795 it is mentioned in a document that the manor owner zu Gröba (Eduard von Kammerstädt) is entitled to keep his own Elbe ferry at the manor. On November 25, 1860, in a document from the Ministry of Finance, the lordship of the manor Gröba is named as the owner of the ferry. In the official gazette for the royal court and city councils of Riesa and Strehla No. 49, the following announcement appeared on Friday, December 7th, 1860:

"The Royal Finance Ministry has given the owner of the ferry to Gröba and the leaseholder of the ferry at Moritz permission to transfer their ferries by means of an underwater chain. The points of the river where these chains are located are marked by two poles set up two-digit apart on each bank and provided with flags. Within these narrow stretches of the river, this means that the boatmen are prevented from sagging, using crutches and oars of all kinds while avoiding a fine of 5 thalers. prohibited. "

In 1883 the ferry and barge owner Jahn operated this ferry, but he did not receive the ferry rights, only his widowed wife Clara on October 30, 1912. On October 9, 1913, it was given to Karl Ferdinand Stange for the duration of a lease with the Transfer widow Jahn. The construction of the Elbe bridge probably meant that many crossings were no longer necessary. The ferry existed until around 1958.

Bobersen has always been exposed to floods and heavy ice drifts due to the proximity of the Elbe. The confluence of the Döllnitz into the Elbe reinforced this. The year 1771 was also a sad year, because from Easter to the harvest there were repeated floods, so that all the hay spoiled, and this was followed by abuses and rising prices. There was a particularly horrific flood in 1784, as was in 1804, when floods destroyed much of the harvest. In 1820 the 4 ferry houses were completely destroyed during an ice trip .

From 1856 Bobersen belonged to the Riesa court office and from 1874 to the administrative authority of Großenhain . The Saxon rural community order of 1838 gave Bobersen independence as a rural community. In 1840 the residents of Bobersen made their living from day labor, shipping and agriculture. In addition, some residents live from handicrafts, e.g. B. as linen weavers, butchers, shoemakers, shipbuilders, carpenters, bricklayers and tailors. Some farmers operated viticulture and timber industry. The place consisted of 6 larger and smaller farm estates including a brewery and a gift. There were also 56 houses including the school and the syringe house and the manor with a castle.

In 1925, 871 residents of Bobersen were Evangelical Lutheran , 4 residents were Catholic and 29 residents belonged to other denominations. In 1936 Lessa was incorporated into Bobersen.

Bobersen stone cross

One of the sights is the atonement cross east of Lessaer Straße. According to legend, a shoemaker had to erect the sandstone cross as a punishment for a manslaughter, after which he was expelled from the place. According to another legend, the cross is said to indicate that the place was once a market town.

Saxons came after the Second World War in the Soviet zone of occupation and later the GDR . After the territorial reform in 1952 , Bobersen was assigned to the Riesa district in the Dresden district . The rural life in the place was based on the principle of agriculture in the GDR. An LPG was founded. In 1971 the LPG Grüne Aue Bobersen joined the Röderau LPG unit. The school became part of the school combine Bobersen, Gohlis and Kreinitz . A memorial stone in front of the school commemorates Fritz Schmenkel (1916–1944), a young communist who fought against the German Wehrmacht in a Soviet partisan regiment. The school combine had his name since 1975. After the German reunification , Bobersen came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. The following regional reforms in Saxony assigned Bobersen to the district of Riesa-Großenhain in 1994 and to the district of Meißen in 2008. The municipality Röderau-Bobersen was created in 1994 through the merger of Röderau and Bobersen . On July 1, 2002, Röderau-Bobersen was incorporated into Zeithain. During the flood of the century in 2002 , Bobersen was badly affected and had to be evacuated as the place was partially flooded and surrounded by water. In 2013 , Bobersen was again badly hit by the floods.
