geography
location
Dittmannsdorf is about 3.5 kilometers northwest of Zschopau in the Ore Mountains. The place extends for about 4 kilometers in the valley of the stream of the same name which flows to the northeast of the Zschopau . The right slope of the valley is relatively steep and interspersed with forest. As a result, the houses are almost without exception on the left, flatter valley slope. The earlier courtyards with the associated hooves were mainly laid out on one side to the west. The village owes the name "Klein-Tirol" to its idyllic location.
The federal highway 180 runs through the place , two district roads connect the place with Altenhain in the west and Witzschdorf in the east.

history
The settlement of the place can be related to the development of the state in the Ore Mountains from the middle of the 12th to the middle of the 13th century. In the vicinity of the church, a field path branches off from Hauptstraße in the direction of Götzhöhe and corresponds to the lines of an old Bohemian Steige , which reached Dittmannsdorf from the lower part of Altenhain. Dittmannsdorf was
first mentioned in documents in 1322 in connection with Heinrich von Waldenburg's enfeoffment of the Benedictine monastery in Chemnitz with Dittmannsdorf . He transferred the landlord rights over the place to the monastery. The Reformation reached the place in 1539, the Dittmannsdorf church became a branch church of Erdmannsdorf . 1580 a teacher for Dittmannsdorf is named. 1653 three board mills are mentioned in the place . Around 1710 there were Leineweber, 2 tailors, 1 blacksmith, 1 baker, 1 Wagner , 1 cooper . Soon after the school was built in 1846, the teacher Böhme, who had been working in the village since 1841, made a name for himself. On May 3, 1849, he called on the villagers to support the revolution in Dresden and was then expelled from office. In 1850 a former mill was turned into a factory for the production of cotton wool, and in 1928 the switch to stocking production took place. In 1853 Dittmannsdorf became an independent parish and remained so until 1929. From then on it became a branch church of Zschopau, and in 1999 it became a sister parish of Gornau together with Witzschdorf.
With its 786 inhabitants (as of December 31, 1993) Dittmannsdorf was incorporated into Gornau on March 1, 1994.

Dittmannsdorf Church
As early as the period between 1150 and 1250, the oldest part of the church is said to have been built as a chapel on the Böhmischer Steig.
The current building is obviously of Romanesque origin, a rectangular hall with a retracted choir - a semicircular triumphal arch mediates between the two. The choir has a Gothic , three-sided end with buttresses . The roof turret with a pointed helmet also most likely dates from this time .
The coffered ceilings in the nave and choir, the gallery architecture and the pulpit show Baroque forms from the late 17th century.
During the renovation of the church in 1971, it turned out that there was a late Gothic stencil painting under the layer of paint from the 17th century. Late Gothic paint remains were also visible on the wooden support in the nave.
In 1497 the altarpiece "Sancta Trinitas" was created by the painter Hans Hesse - the painter of the Annaberg mountain altar . It is also the first work that can be ascribed to the painter with certainty. On the central panel, the Trinity is enthroned in a medallion carried by angels . On the wings of the altar the Virgin Mary in a halo and Hieronymus are depicted on the left , Anna Selbdritt and John on Patmos on the right.
A dainty late Gothic chalice and a crucifix on the central support are also preserved from this period.
