Eutrich , Jitk in Upper Sorbian , is a place in the East Saxon district of Bautzen and has been part of the Königswartha community since 1950 . The place is located in Upper Lusatia and is part of the Sorbian settlement area .
According to legend, the village is the birthplace of the Sorbian magician Krabat .
geography
The place is located about 16 kilometers northwest of the large district town of Bautzen and 14 kilometers east of Kamenz in the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape . The Königswartha community center is three kilometers away. On the south-eastern edge of the village is the Ziganteich, which is fed by the Doberschützer water that crosses the village. There are also some fish ponds to the northwest. The place is surrounded by forest on all sides.
Eutrich is the settlement structure after a round hamlet with some settlement expansions in the north. The neighboring towns are Troops in the north, Entenschenke in the northwest, Niesendorf in the east, Caßlau in the south, Naußlitz in the southwest and Ralbitz in the west.
history
The place was first mentioned in 1419 as Itzig . Other forms of name recorded are Edrigk / Eytrugk (1507), Ewtricht (1518), Eyttrich (1536) and Eitrich (1843). Eutrich was under the manorial rule of the Königswartha estate in the 16th century at the latest and is mentioned as its Vorwerk in the 18th century.
Until July 1, 1950, Eutrich was an independent rural community; then it was incorporated into Königswartha.
Place name
The interpretation of the place name is not possible without a doubt. The unusual ending -trich , which can also be found in the further west of the village of Milstrich (Sorb. Jitro , cf. Jitk for Eutrich), is striking . Older sources sometimes derive the origin of the Sorbian name from jutro ("the morning") and refer to a presumed Slavic morning god ( Jutrobog , cf. Jüterbog ), whose worship, however, has not yet been proven.
population
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 194 in the 1880s; 192 of them Sorbs . Sorbian is also spoken in the village to this day.
The population was stable at a little over 100 in the 19th and 20th centuries and has declined slightly since the political change in 1989.
The majority of the devout residents are Evangelical-Lutheran and the smaller part are Roman-Catholic. The place is evangelically parish to Königswartha, the Catholic population belongs to the Sorbian-Catholic community Ralbitz.
Economy and Infrastructure
To the east of the town, on the road to Königswartha, there is an industrial park.
