geography

Gamig is located a good kilometer northwest of the old town of Dohna . It is located on the plateau between Müglitz in the east and Lockwitzbach in the west south of the Elbe valley . The fruit growing around Borthen and Röhrsdorf also shapes Gamig and its immediate surroundings.

Adjacent districts of Dohna are Gorknitz and Sürßen in the southwest and Bosewitz in the northwest. The closest town to the north is the Gommern district of Heidenau .

The district of Gamig consists of a large individual estate with several outbuildings. It is on the road from Dohna via Bosewitz to Borthen. Due to its small size, the address of all houses in the village is simply Gamig, supplemented by the respective house number. In Gamig, the Gorknitzer Straße branches off the street, which connects the eponymous town with Gamig. To the public transport Gamig is by the bus line B of the travel service Dressler connected, which has a stop in the village.

history

The original form of the place name, which comes from Old Sorbian , was probably * Kameńk. The place name Gamig goes just like z. B. Chemnitz and Kamenz back to the word * kameń, German stone , and thus means "settlement in stony area". The interpretation coincides with the location of the place on a rocky hill. The place was first mentioned in 1411 as "Kamenig". In the centuries that followed, numerous other spellings were in use, including "Camegk", "Camen", "Kamig", "Gamigk" and "Gamich".

It is uncertain whether Gamig was created as an outpost for the Burgraves of Dohna and later belonged to the Altzella monastery . However, it is documented that there was a Vorwerk in Gamig in 1445/47 , from which a manor had developed by 1512 at the latest . Its owners exercised the manorial rule in the villages in the area, including in today's Blochwitz desert , in Bosewitz, Gommern and Meuscha as well as in today's Dresden districts of Niedersedlitz and Zschieren . Gamig was and is parish in Dohna in the Marienkirche . In the 16th century the manor was owned by the Lords of Schönberg (Frauensteiner line). They had the castle built around 1575. In the 17th century the ownership changed frequently; members of the von Bärenstein, von Hofkirchen and von Hanau families were among the landlords. The chapel was consecrated in 1656.

In 1664, the privy councilor von Heinicke (Hünicke) bought the manor, which remained in the family until 1720. The large, largely still existing building stock of the property was already in place at this time. At that time it consisted of the centrally located house (today's castle), the brewery, various stables and barns as well as the chapel. From 1720 the estate was under the control of the Counts of Bose (including Carl Graf von Bose ) for about a century , and then from about 1830 to the Counts of Vitzthum . These had the manor redesigned. In the years 1834/1835 the architect Woldemar Hermann drafted plans for the palace renovation, as well as the residential tower, on the estate of the Chamberlain of Lüttichau . It is possible that the design sketches were made by the architect Gottfried Semper, known from the Dresden Semperoper, for the residential tower, which is now known as the Semperturm based on him. Around 1840 the castle was given a late classicist appearance, the chapel had Romanesque echoes. On the basis of the rural community code of 1838 , Bosewitz gained independence as a rural community , which also included the district of Gamig, which was never an independent community.

The Guts blockflur , which surrounded the Gutsweiler, had an area of ​​173 hectares in 1842. In 1875 Gamig had 66 inhabitants, in 1900 there were ten inhabited buildings and 57 inhabitants. Around 1900 the Dresden manufacturer Höntsch acquired the property, which remained in the possession of his family until it was expropriated in 1945. After the Second World War, parts of the property were demolished; the manor was initially a supply of the Red Army, then a national good. As part of the community of Bosewitz, Gamig was incorporated into Gorknitz on July 1, 1950, and from 1952 onwards was part of the Pirna district . In 1980, VEG Obstproduktion Borthen had the interior and the palace gardens redesigned. A silo was built next to the Renaissance house (former horse stable) in GDR times, which, after renovation, served as a residential tower for trainees from 1985 and as a makeshift residence for chronically mentally ill people until the completion of the social therapeutic residential building "An der Kapelle" from the beginning of 1993. Its construction is similar in the outer dimensions to the residential tower at the castle. Until 1990 the Gamig estate was used conventionally for agriculture. Alternative farming has been practiced since the transition to the Gut Gamig Association. Today Gut Gamig has certified organic agriculture and animal husbandry according to Gäa guidelines.

The community of heirs of the Höntsch family withdrew from their right to transfer back after the fall of the Wall . On February 4, 1992, the Free State of Saxony bought the manor buildings with the 247 hectares of land from the Treuhandanstalt and presented the complex to the Gut Gamig e. V. available. In 1993 the Free State of Saxony granted the heritable building right for 66 years. The association established a meeting place and rehabilitation facility in Gamig to support chronically mentally ill people. At the end of 1998 the stable buildings were demolished down to the foundation wall and rebuilt by September 2000. They now serve as Gamiger workshops and the newly created rooms on the upper floor are used by the association, administration and outpatient occupational therapy.

On January 1, 1993, the community of Gorknitz, to which Gamig also belonged, merged with Borthen and Röhrsdorf to form the new community of Röhrsdorf. Since its incorporation into the city of Dohna on January 1, 1999, Gamig has belonged to Dohna. In addition, there is a Renaissance house, a sheepfold, the chapel and the socio-therapeutic residence "Haus an der Kapelle".
