history
On March 1, 1994, the municipalities of Naundorf, Niederbobritzsch and Oberbobritzsch merged with Sohra to form the municipality of Bobritzsch due to the legally required municipal reform.
The smallest district of Sohra (173 inhabitants) was probably first settled in the 10th century and was of Sorbian origin. The former Vorwerk on Pretzschendorfer Strasse is a reminder of this time. A legend tells that back then three virgins fetched water every day from Jungfernborn, about 1 km away. Sohra got its current character as a Waldhufendorf through the later German colonization from the 12th century. The villages Naundorf, Niederbobritzsch and Oberbobritzsch, laid out as forest hoof villages along the Bobritzsch, owe their origin to settlers who moved to the area in the 12th century from Franconia, Hesse and later from Thuringia and Saxony. Settlement was as good as complete at the beginning of the 13th century. From Freiberg, which was founded in 1186, mining spread rapidly to the north, south and south-east. One of the last mining witnesses in the community is the Friedrich-Erbstollen. His mouth hole can be seen in Schmiedegasse in Niederbobritzsch.
The district Naundorf was first mentioned in a document in 1306. In Naundorf and the other districts there are many stories about the robbers Johannes Karasek and Lips Tullian . The latter is said to have hidden his stolen goods in a porphyry rock , the thief chamber. During an ambush by Saxon soldiers, Lips Tullian fled and jumped his horse from what is now the Lips Tullian rock. He survived the deep fall and was executed in Dresden. Today you can still visit the entrance to the thief chamber. The geographical center of the Free State of Saxony is in the immediate vicinity.
The mills played an important role in Bobritzsch's life. In the Niederbobritzscher Erbbuch from 1548 three mills are mentioned, soon afterwards their number increases to six, later to nine. The oldest of all mills is the "Schwarzmühle", built in the 14th century. It is still in operation today as a compound feed for agriculture, but without hydropower. Until recently, the Funkenmühle in Naundorf was also active as a compound feed company. In Oberbobritzsch, the Willy Weises Erben oil mill still produces first-class oil.
Niederbobritzsch has had a school since 1567. However, it was only a classroom that was located in the building of today's municipal office. In 1837 a new school building was inaugurated in Niederdorf. In 1879 the school was built at its current location near the church. After 1990 it became necessary to modernize the existing building. Today the high school is located in the building.
In 1978 a joint school for Oberbobritzsch and Sohra was inaugurated on Pretzschendorfer Straße and completely renovated as a primary school, after-school care and kindergarten after the floods in 2002.
In the village church of Oberbobritzsch there is a winged altar from 1521, in whose shrine the Saints Katharina, Nikolaus and Barbara . The church also has an organ by Gottfried Silbermann from 1716. On January 1, 2012, Bobritzsch merged with Hilbersdorf to form the Bobritzsch-Hilbersdorf community. The community Bobritzsch was dissolved, the districts were added to the new community.

Memorials
A burial and a memorial stone in 1956 in the cemetery of the district Niederbobritzsch remember five or six unknown prisoners concentration camp that an evacuation transport from the spring of 1945 victims satellite camp Colditz of the Buchenwald concentration camp were. Those persecuted by the Nazi regime protested against a new text on the plaque that was added after 1990 . In the cemeteries of the districts of Oberbobritzsch and Naundorf , murdered concentration camp prisoners are also remembered.
Economy and Infrastructure
The villages, which were formerly characterized by the Freiberg silver mining and agriculture, are still structured in a rural way. The Silberstraße holiday route runs through Naundorf . The nearby Tharandt Forest and the Erzgebirge / Vogtland Nature Park a little further away offer a wide range of tourism options. Bobritzsch has a natural swimming pool in the Naundorf district . Niederbobritzsch is the location of the Bobritzsch training center . At the beginning of the 1990s, the Freiberg Ost trade association was founded together with Hilbersdorf and Freiberg. Bobritzsch has a 30% share in this. For many years only a few companies were in the area, such as B. Asglawo. The industrial area fell into a kind of deep sleep. That changed suddenly in 2008. A lot of construction activity has started and many new companies are settling here. The most modern breeding hatchery in Europe was built by AviaGen, and a furniture manufacturer has also been established there. SolarWorld AG has built a new plant on an area of 20 hectares near the brick barn . The largest single building in the Central Saxony district is located here. At one point, up to 1000 people will find work in the production of photovoltaic products at the site, which should also benefit many people from Bobritzsch. Not far from the production halls, there are open-space photovoltaic systems on a 20 hectare area in the Naundorf district.

traffic
For fifty years (1921-71) there was a connection to the Wilsdruffer narrow-gauge railway network in the district of Naundorf , of which the building of the station and the stop (today garages) and the stone railway viaduct and the cycle path on the embankment of the narrow-gauge railway Klingenberg-Colmnitz-Oberdittmannsdorf in Naundorf existed witness. From Naundorf, the Klingenberg-Colmnitz-Frauenstein narrow-gauge railway ran first through the Tharandt Forest via Colmnitz, Pretzschendorf to the Bobritzsch district of Oberbobritzsch and on to Friedersdorf up to Frauenstein. The station building in Oberbobritzsch is still preserved. Not much is left of the old embankment.
With the Niederbobritzsch station on the Dresden-Chemnitz-Werdau railway line, completed here in 1862, as well as the B 173 in the course of the Alte Frankenstraße or Hofer Chaussee and the state road through the Tharandter Forest ( Ferienstraße Silberstraße ) or other state and district roads that lead to Dresden , Freiberg, Freital , Dippoldiswalde and Frauenstein lead, the place is now connected to the transport network.
