history

View of Zschachwitz , 1870

Großzschachwitz was first mentioned in 1350 as Schachwicz, in 1791 the name Großzschachwitz, which is still used today, appears.

Like all communities on Pirnaer Landstrasse, the place was completely devastated in times of war, most recently in connection with the Battle of Dresden in 1813. Farmers and cottagers rebuilt the place again and again until the 19th century.

In 1840 the congregation joined a school association with Kleinzschachwitz , and in 1897 a mutual church congregation. In 1890 the community was only able to show about 1/3 of the population of Kleinzschachwitz, but then developed into a heavily populated workers' residence at the turn of the century. In 1898 Großzschachwitz received its own school (92nd elementary school "An der Aue"). Around 1921, when Kleinzschachwitz was incorporated into Dresden, Großzschachwitz, Meußlitz and Sporbitz merged to form the municipality of Zschachwitz , which was incorporated into Dresden in 1950. From 1971 the prefabricated building area "Rathener Straße" was built.
