history

Friedersdorf on a Urmes table sheet from 1847

Friedersdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1419. At that time, the Angerdorf was owned by the noble family von der Dahme, who lived in Herzberg . In 1598 the nobles Balthasar von der Dahme and Hans Heinrich von Leipzig are mentioned as owners of the place. Hans Heinrich von Leipzig , who also owned Zwethau , finally became an electoral Saxon assessor at the court in Wittenberg . He was the founder of Zwethau-Friedersdorfer line of this old Saxon noble family that the Meissen nobility belongs. A few years later, in 1608, the noble family “von Leipzig” took over the Friedersdorf knight's seat, which it was to keep until the 18th century. At that time the village had ten hofers and seven gardeners.

While the neighboring city of Herzberg is one of the few German cities that could not be conquered during the Thirty Years' War due to an extensive system of rivers and rifts, Friedersdorf, which is not far away, was badly affected. Shortly after its end in 1654, there were only seven inhabited farms in the village. Nine courtyards had fallen desolately. It took about twenty years for the population to recover to the pre-war level. At that time the village was parish in the Altherzberg parish .

According to the regulations of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Friedersdorf, which had around 120 inhabitants at the time, was transferred from the Kingdom of Saxony to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony and the Schweinitz district was created in 1816 , which was renamed the Herzberg district in 1950 and from which the Herzberg district in 1952 emerged.

Friedersdorf was an independent municipality. On December 31, 2001 Friedersdorf was incorporated into the city of Herzberg (Elster).

Culture and sights

In the north of the historic town center, at Dorfstraße 28, you will find Friedersdorf's only listed building on the Brandenburg State Monuments List. The former manor house, built around 1700 in place of the former Friedersdorf knight's seat and provided with a crooked hip roof, is one of the few half-timbered buildings in southern Brandenburg that have survived from that time.

There is also a village community center in Friedersdorf, where local celebrations can be held. Annual highlights here are the zamping in February, the Easter bonfire, the village and children's festival in July and the autumn festival.
