history

Friedersdorf was first mentioned in a document on January 21, 1272. At that time with the names "Friderichstorf" "Vrederichstorp", "Vrederikistorp", named after a locator Friedrich, later (1360) "Friderichstorf", 1397 "Frydrychsdorf", 1408 "Fridrichsdorff", 1419 "Frederßdorf inferior", 1430 "Frederichsdorff", 1503 "Friderßdorff", 1567 "Oberfriederßdorff" and 1580 "Niderfridersdorf". Friedersdorf was laid out as a Waldhufendorf by the settlers along the Spree Valley in the course of the feudal German expansion to the east . In other words, the parcels (= forest hooves) were perpendicular to the Spreelauf in the direction of the forest. However, there are first settlements from the Bronze Age . Until the end of the 15th century around 1490 (division between 1489 and 1493) Friedersdorf was a place, then it was divided, and it was only reunified on April 1, 1938. The Gasthaus Grenzschänke from 1768 refers to the earlier dividing line. In the meantime, Oberfriedersdorf had belonged to the city of Zittau since 1597 , while Niederfriedersdorf was in noble hands. Friedersdorf was predominantly a farming village, with craftsmen added later and house weaving in the 17th century, but this trade was replaced by textile factories. In 1877 Hans Leo von Oppell acquired the Niederfriedersdorfer manor and had a new castle built as a mansion. The place became a village of factory workers, but not an industrial village. Smaller companies settled there, such as the paint factory, which produced school paints in GDR times, and a button factory.

The following administrative affiliation is to be named for Friedersdorf (Ober- and Niederfriedersdorf): 1777: Bautzener Kreis, 1843: Regional Court District Löbau, 1856: Judicial Office Neusalza, 1875: Amtshauptmannschaft Löbau , 1952: Landkreis Löbau , 1994: Landkreis Löbau-Zittau and from the 1. August 2008: District of Görlitz.

The originally independent community Friedersdorf (old four-digit postcode 8701, former districts Friedersdorf and Neufriedersdorf) became a district of Neusalza-Spremberg on January 1, 2008.

politics

Friedersdorf has a local council. The mayor is Günter Hamisch. He is considered to be the intellectual originator of the cross-border association of German and Czech municipalities, which is known as the five-municipality . As the mayor of the then still independent municipality, he was co-signatory of the corresponding declaration of intent of the mayors of the five municipalities on May 18, 2002 on the Czech Jüttelberg near the border . Besides Friedersdorf, the mayors Günther Paulik ( Neusalza-Spremberg ) and Karl-Heinz David ( Oppach ) from the German side and Milan Kořínek ( Šluknov ) and Michal Maják ( Jiříkov ) from the Czech side signed the document as members. With the incorporation of Friedersdorf into Neusalza-Spremberg in 2008 and the inclusion of Sohland (Spree) under Mayor Matthias Pilz on May 10 of the same year, the gap in the five-community could be closed. On November 4, 2011, the twin town of Ebersbach-Neugersdorf joined the five -community community with mayor Verena Hergenröder.

Formerly unheraldic coat of arms of Friedersdorf
Coat of arms of Friedersdorf (Spree) registered in the German local coat of arms

coat of arms

Blazon : "Silver-gold divided by a blue wavy bar in the base of the shield, above an uprooted green spruce, flanked by two green ears with golden grains on leafy green stalks."

The coat of arms of the Friedersdorf district was registered and documented in the HEROLD's German coat of arms on December 10, 2012 as the coat of arms of a non-independent district with the registry "5 SN" . It was donated by the local council, represented by Günter Hamisch, in order to use it as a symbol of the local-local identity outside of official acts. The design was done by the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch , who carried out the certification.

The symbolism of the coat of arms is based on a customary, but unheraldic coat of arms, which was once created on one's own initiative and has been in use for around 20 years.

The symbols are explained as follows: The central figure of a conifer (spruce) refers to the natural location of the village in the Lusatian mountains, to which the wavy bar is linked to the Spree, which flows through the village. In addition to forestry, agriculture was the most important branch of the population for centuries; For this reason the ears of wheat were included in the coat of arms, the fields of which are represented by the golden shield base.
