Eichen , also called Oberoppach ( Upper Sorbian Hornja Wopaka ), is a district of Oppach .
geography
location
The group of houses in the corridor of Oppach extends north of Oppach in the valley of the Oberoppacher water up the slope to the edge of the forest at the southwest foot of the Bieleboh . There are also houses all the way to Bundesstrasse 96 . This is the case with the former Oberoppach school and the Erntekranzbaude street inn. (As a well-known inn on today's Bundesstrasse 96, the “Erntekranz” goes back to a truck resting place after the arduous ascent from the village of Wurbis, 1.5 kilometers away . An old path from Bischofswerda via Kirschau and Crostau led to the “ Kaiserstraße ". At times the name Kiefernschenke was also used.)
A weekend settlement has been hidden at the edge of the forest north of Oberoppach since 1962.
A quartz corridor extends along the forest of the Bieleboh area towards the Beiersdorf district of the mountains . To the east, the district is shielded by the Heidelberg, which is a 40 meter spur of the Bieleboh. It is partly covered by very old orchards , mainly made of sweet cherries.
For a time, the clean water from the Bielebohwald and the flat meadows were used by three bleaching plants in the village. The bleach pond still reminds of this old trade.

Place name forms
In the vernacular, the district was initially called "de Eechen" (the oaks), the uppermost tip the "back corner". In the map of Oberreit from 1821/22 you can read about "Ober Oppach". In 1875 the name was "Oberoppach".
Population development
Oberoppach was one of the refugee settlements in the area of the state border with the Czech Republic. Several Protestants from the then Bohemian and thus Catholic Schirgiswalde settled here around 1700 . For this purpose, the manor had given them construction sites in the so-called Eichgrunde, where a preliminary work had also been created. Hans Heinrich Hensel was the first rural settler. By the middle of the 18th century there were already 14 houses in the vicinity of the manorial Vorwerk, which is still preserved as an inn today. In 1757 there were 14, in 1794 41 and in 1839 70 houses. In 1896 there were 78 properties, today there are over 80.
In the census of May 9, 2011, Eichen consisted of 83 residential buildings in which 201 people lived. The average age was 49.8 years.
