history

Feilebach in Dröda

The first documentary mention of Dröda was in 1328 as "zu der Ode". This comes from Middle High German and means “the place in the wilderness” in the undeveloped land. Already in the 14th century there was a moated castle in the place , which was sold in 1403 by the knights of Raschau to Bernhard von Weischlitz. From 1450 it was owned by Apel von Tettau , from 1556 by Jobst Heinrich von Watzdorf and then by Christoph von Reitzenstein . The since 1606 as a manor called manor came after several changes in ownership, mid-19th century to the family Tropitzsch. In 1812 Napoleon's troops also reached the town of Dröda and caused great damage to the population there with arson and looting.

With regard to the manor , Dröda belonged partially to the manors Dröda, Geilsdorf , Leubnitz and Pirk - Türbel until 1856 . Until 1856, Dröda was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon office of Voigtsberg . In 1856 the place was affiliated to the Oelsnitz court office and in 1875 to the Oelsnitz administration . Dröda had a church as early as 1456. The church from 1674/1675 was destroyed by fire on April 19, 1885. Today's church was built as a single - nave neo-Gothic building with a pointed west tower in the years 1886/1887. In the course of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone from 1945 , the manor Dröda was expropriated. The mansion was demolished in 1948/1949. From the original moated castle, the Old Castle, only a walled castle island, moat and barrel vault remained. Immediately at the pond of the former manor there are 3 herds of granite greaves, which were restored in 1973.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Dröda became part of Oelsnitz district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). Between 1964 and 1971 the Dröda dam was built to the southwest of the village by damming the Feilebach. During the construction of the dam, the neighboring towns of Ramoldsreuth and Dechengrün were completely demolished and some houses in Dröda were demolished, which, like the dam, were located in the 5 km restricted area of the then inner-German border .

In 1990 Dröda came to the Saxon district of Oelsnitz, which was merged into the Vogtland district in 1996. On January 1, 1999, it was incorporated into the Burgstein community , which in turn was incorporated into the Weischlitz community on January 1, 2011.
