Doberschütz , Upper Sorbian , is a place in the center of the Bautzen district in East Saxony and has been part of the Neschwitz community since 1974 . The place is part of the core settlement area of the Sorbs in Upper Lusatia ; a large part of the population speaks Sorbian as their mother tongue.
geography
Doberschütz is located about 15 kilometers northwest of the large district town of Bautzen in the valley of the Doberschützer water , which rises in the Horka basin and feeds the Doberschützer village pond. Wooded hills rise to the west and south, including the Lange Berg (188 m) to the left of the road to Jeßnitz. The terrain slopes slightly to the north. The surrounding area is predominantly wooded.
The neighboring towns are Caßlau in the north, Lissahora and Lomske in the east, Jeßnitz in the south, Horka in the south-west and Naußlitz in the north-west.
history
The place was first mentioned in 1350 as the seat of Johannes de Doberswicz , but has been inhabited for much longer. The remains of an old moated castle are in the area of the former estate. Relics from the Bronze Age have been found in the area.
The manor based in Doberschütz also held the manorial rule. After 1945 it was expropriated; the manor temporarily served as a school.
After the administrative reform of 1952, Doberschütz belonged to the Kamenz district for five years before it was reintegrated into the Bautzen district. Until January 2, 1974 it was an independent rural community with the district of Caßlau (since 1936). Then it was incorporated into Neschwitz.
Place name
The place name is interpreted as a derivation from the personal name Dobroš and means something like "village of the people of Dobroš". The personal name is derived from dobry for "good".
population
In 1925 Doberschütz had 153 inhabitants; 145 of them were Catholic (95%). The place has been part of the Crostwitz parish since ancient times .
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 132 inhabitants in the 1880s; 122 of them were Sorbs (92%) and 10 were Germans. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik still counted a Sorbian-speaking share of 73.4% of the population in the Doberschütz community. Sorbian is spoken in the village to this day.
In the 20th century, especially after 1990, the population fell, most recently to less than 120 inhabitants.
