history

Dürrbach is mentioned for the first time in 1362 in the Dingbuch of the city of Bautzen as Durrebach . Towards the end of the 14th century, Dürrbach belonged to those of Metzradt auf Reichwalde. Through inheritance and multiple sales, the manor Dürrbach came to rule in Eselsberg in 1603 . These were exchanged in 1626 for the Mönau and Rauden estates of the Jahmer rule, which were near Uhyst and which had owned the neighboring Klitten and Kaschel estates since 1623 . During the Thirty Years' War , George Vitzthum von Eckstädt was, among others , captain of the offices of Cottbus and Peitz in Brandenburg , owner of the Jahmen, Dürrbach and Kaupa estates. His son Christoph Vitzthum von Eckstädt was an electoral councilor and later governor of Upper Lusatia.

The Thomaswalde settlement, located southwest of Dürrbach in the forest, was mentioned in a document in the middle of the 18th century.

As a result of the Congress of Vienna , Upper Lusatia , which had belonged to Saxony since 1635, was divided and the larger north-eastern part was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia . Dürrbach came to the newly founded Rothenburg district in the province of Silesia in 1816 . After the Second World War , the part of Lower Silesia to the west of the Neisse line came back to the state of Saxony. As part of the extensive administrative reform of 1952 , Dürrbach came to the newly formed Niesky district in the Dresden district .

At the end of the 1950s, farmers in Dürrbach founded the agricultural production cooperative (LPG) "Am Waldessaum", which in 1969 joined LPG Klitten.

The communities Dürrbach, Klein-Radisch and Zimpel-Tauer were incorporated into Klitten on March 1, 1973. With the exception of the district of Tauer , these places had already been parish to Klitten since the pre-Reformation period .

Dürrbach is - like most of the former municipality of Klitten - on the coal field of the Bärwalde opencast mine . Due to its deferral and closure at the beginning of the 1990s, the site was spared from being over-dredged.

Due to the voluntary incorporation of Klitten into Boxberg / OL , Dürrbach has been part of this municipality since February 1st, 2009.

In 1777 there were eight possessed men , a gardener and eight cottagers in Dürrbach . Two cottagers lived in Thomaswalde.

Between 1825 and 1863 the population of Dürrbach grew from 119 (including the 10 inhabitants of Thomaswalde) to 185, but then fell again slightly. After renewed growth between 1871 and 1885 from 172 to 191 inhabitants, the number of inhabitants fell again by 1905. Thereafter, by 1939, a renewed growth to 198 inhabitants can be observed. After the Second World War , the population was over 200, fell in the following decades, and reached below 100 in the 1990s.

In the 19th century the population was almost entirely Sorbian. In 1863, according to official figures, 155 of the 185 inhabitants were Sorbs , about 20 years later Arnošt Muka identified 161 Sorbs among the 165 inhabitants. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population of 61.3% in Dürrbach. Since then, the use of Sorbian has continued to decline in the village.
