history

Gersdorf Church (Hartha)

Gersdorf emerged as a typical Waldhufendorf village in the 12th century as part of the country's expansion in the Pleißenland . Several gentlemen were involved in this after the later transfers of goods.

In 1213 Albertus de Gerhardesdorf is mentioned as a witness of the burgrave Gerhard von Leisnig during a transfer of goods to the Buch monastery . Around 1230 Otto Dei gratia miles de Gerardorf transferred his share of the tavern and court in Gersdorf to the Buch monastery. In 1245, Emperor Friedrich II confirmed the ownership of Langenowe , Gerhardesdorf & Kiselbach , which Heinricus de Poleche had abandoned, to the Buch monastery . Around 1265 Johannes, plebanus de Gerardesdorf is mentioned as a witness for the Bishop of Meissen .

In 1277, Burgrave Albero von Leisnig allowed the Buch monastery to work as craftsmen in Gersdorf and Kieselbach against payment of 16 silver marks. Five farmers are named as sources: Wiker de Gerardisdorf, Hermannus (the little one), Hermannus Weiger, Otto Forestarius, Arnoldus Gubin . Shoemakers, weavers, tailors, bakers, butchers, furriers, brewers and innkeepers are allowed. The craftsmen should stick to the guilds in Leisnig and be free to sell their goods there. It is very likely that craftsmen worked for the Buch monastery.

In 1378 Gerharstorf inferior (Niedergersdorf) had 32 bushels of grain and the same in oats to deliver annually to the castrum Leisnig , Ubirngerharstorf (Obergersdorf) also had 32 bushels of grain and the same in oats .

In 1386, Margrave Wilhelm von Meißen sold the monastery income in Gersdorf and Kieselbach, among others, eighty-eight bushels of grain and eighty-eight bushels of oats, and four groschen interest, with both dishes, plus a load of hay, three shock grains and a calf, which the same monastery annually replenishes Had to give quietly.

In 1548, the official inheritance book of the Buch zu Gersdorf monastery names “44 possessed men , including 24 horse men , 29 of which are lendable to the Buch monastery and 15 to the pastor of Gersdorf” with 32¼  hooves . The upper court belonged to the office of Buch monastery, the inheritance court was with the gentlemen.

Gersdorf probably had its own church from the start, with Wallbach, Kieselbach, Queckhain and Langenau as parishes. The patronage lay with the Sornzig Monastery , after the Reformation with the Elector of Saxony . A list of the pastors and schoolmasters of Gersdorf (from the Reformation to 1750) can be found at Kamprad, including many interesting details. Further additions can be found in Saxony's church gallery. The church's ties to the Sornzig monastery probably resulted from the fact that in 1276 the pastor Johannes von Gersdorf was provost of Sornzig.
