history

Probably around 1205 Burkersdorf was as Angersdorf with manor and a standing above the village green church built. The actual origins of the settlement of the Osterland , in the middle of which is Burkersdorf, go back even further. In 1209 the place was first mentioned in a document as the interest village of the Mildenfurth monastery . In the commemorative publication “800 years of Burkersdorf” it says: “Among the sons of Heinrich the Rich (note: Vogt von Weida), the Mildenfurth monastery acquired two hooves in Burkersdorf around 1200 ... Two residents are therefore Mildenfurths fiefdom and subject to interest ... “The village church, which was rebuilt several times in later centuries, dates from the founding period. Burkersdorf belonged to the "Herrschaft Weida" until 1356, then to the "Amt Weida".

In 1640, the Swedes raged in the village to such an extent that 39 people died. The plague in the following year claimed another 25 deaths. Around 1730, the Burkersdorf Castle was rebuilt in its current form, presumably on the site of a previous medieval building, under Hans Carl von Carlowitz and Sabine von Seydewitz. It was the seat of various noble families, most recently the Freiherr von der Goltz . In 1923 Oskar Freiherr von der Goltz was the owner of the 150 hectare estate.

After the Second World War, the manor was expropriated by decision of the victorious powers and given to resettlers and poor farmers. As a result of the Second World War, emigrants from Silesia came to Burkersdorf. From that time on, the village's castle was first used as a children's home, later as a retirement home and operated as such until 1993.

On April 9, 1994, Burkersdorf became part of the municipality of Harth . With the dissolution of Harth on December 21, 1995, the place came to the municipality of Harth-Pöllnitz. In 1994, the expansion of the "old village" began to include the new development area at the Mäderteich and in May 2005 the Burkersdorf Golf Park opened. In 2009 Burkersdorf celebrated its 800th anniversary with a festival weekend at the end of June, at which the village chronicle was reproduced and the Schalmeienkapelle of the Vollmershain Schalmeien was a guest.

Culture and sights

  • The Burkersdorfer Schloss is privately owned and cannot currently be visited.
  • The still Romanesque village church of Burkersdorf was built as a choir tower church. After 1700 renovations were carried out, which adapted the appearance of the nave to the taste of the time, enlarged windows gave the interior more light. In the church there are high quality fittings and fixtures from different eras. A stone epitaph for Oswald Roeder from 1580 is remarkable. The last renovation of the church was carried out in 1996 with the support of the German Foundation for Monument Protection .
  • A golf park and an equestrian facility are in the vicinity of the village. For more than a decade, the “Burkersdorfer St. Georgsritt” with the traditional blessing for horse and rider has been taking place on the last Saturday in April.
  • The rural area, which is accessible by bike and hiking trails, also has several ponds that are ideal for swimming and are used for music and open-air events in the summer months.
