history
Gohrisch health resort
The village, located on a plateau to the left of the Elbe at the foot of the rock of the same name, was first mentioned in 1437 as Dorffe Gorusch . Until the middle of the 19th century it was dominated by agriculture and only underwent a comparatively modest development. In 1548 the village had 11 local farmers, in 1815 Gohrisch had 20 houses with 93 inhabitants. Due to the quiet, wooded and climatically balanced location, the landowner Adelbert Hauffe welcomed the first summer vacationers to his estate in 1869. Gohrisch is the oldest summer resort in Saxon Switzerland. The positive development of tourism led to a sudden increase in the number of residents and triggered a brisk construction activity. Since 1875 the place could call itself a high altitude health resort and in 1910 already around 700 people lived here. In 1936 the place was given the title of health resort . To this day, tourism is one of Gohrisch's economic pillars. One of the most famous guests was Dmitri Shostakovich , who composed his eighth string quartet (C minor, op. 110) in Gohrisch in 1960 in the guest house of the GDR Council of Ministers , today's Hotel Albrechtshof Gohrisch. But Kim Il-sung , Lotte Ulbricht , Horst Sindermann and many other public figures were guests in the guest house of the GDR Council of Ministers. The former guest house of the Council of Ministers is now a privately run hotel that is very popular with hikers and friends of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Gohrisch has around 800 inhabitants today.

Four years later, the four towns merged to form the Gohrisch community. The Liethenmühle , which was built in 1572, belongs to the place . The sandstone caves on the Kleinhennersdorfer Stein are also a tourist attraction .
