Location of Dittelsdorf in the area of ​​the city of Zittau

Dittelsdorf is a place in the southeastern Upper Lusatia in the district of Görlitz . The Saxon village has around 900 inhabitants and was an independent municipality until it was incorporated into Hirschfelde in 2002. Dittelsdorf has been a part of the city of Zittau since 2007 . The village is known for the more than 120 very well-preserved and well-kept half timbered houses from the 17th to 19th centuries.

Position and extent

The village is located in the south-eastern part of the district, about ten kilometers north of Zittau and is on the slopes of the Steinberg and the Buchberg . The place is traversed by the Buchbergbach and the Ziegelscheunenbach, which unite in Niederdorf and then flow into the Kemmlitzbach . In its development, Dittelsdorf adjoins the Hirschfelde to the southeast. Nearby forest areas are the monastery forest in the northeast and the Oberwald in the northwest.

history

Dittelsdorf was first mentioned in a document on September 22, 1369, when Friedrich von Kyaw sold part of the village to the St. Marienthal monastery . The city of Zittau also owned goods in Dittelsdorf, but these were confiscated by Ferdinand I after the Upper Lusatian Pönfall and had to be acquired again by Zittau in the following decades. In 1558 the city therefore acquired several farms in the village. During the Reformation in 1570, the former property of the Johanniterkommende Hirschfelde also fell to Zittau. The rule of the monastery and the city lasted until the 19th century.

Dittelsdorf has always been characterized by agriculture and house weaving , which is why industrialization hit the place hard. Many of the former linen weavers now had to work in the Hirschfeld factories and later also in the Hirschfelde power station . After the Second World War , three agricultural production cooperatives were established in this village by 1960 .

On January 1, 2002, Dittelsdorf was merged with Hirschfelde and five years later incorporated into Zittau together with this community.

In 1547 21 possessed men ran the Zittau part of Dittelsdorf . By 1777 there were 46 gardeners and 122 cottagers in the entire village .

The first population survey in Saxony, in which not the ownership structure, but each individual inhabitant was counted equally, took place in 1834, when 1436 people lived in the village. The population increased within the next decades to 1577 inhabitants in 1871, but fell to 1460 by 1890. Until the end of World War II , the population remained constant at around 1400 inhabitants. After the war, many refugees found a new home in Dittelsdorf, so that the population grew to over 2,200. Until the turn of the millennium, the number of inhabitants continued to fall, so that today almost 850 people still live in Dittelsdorf.

Attractions

In addition to the many half-timbered houses , the Matthäuskirche, built between 1848 and 1850 according to plans by Carl August Schramm , is also worth seeing. It was built in the classical style on a hill above the village. Its many small turrets make it particularly interesting from an architectural point of view. Also of interest is the Dittelsdorf Museum , which is housed in a restored half-timbered house. Art exhibitions or collections of historical objects are presented here at irregular intervals.
