history

The Waldhufendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1455 as a hostel . Other forms of name have been passed down as herbrygen (1492), Herberychen (around 1527), Herbrigen (1539) and Herwigenn (1551).

The origin of the place name is not clearly clarified, but may be related to the Alte Dresden-Teplitzer Poststrasse , which leads past hostels immediately to the east. Since this connection was always a military road that armies used to get across the Eastern Ore Mountains , the name can be derived from a place where war troops reside , as a place that houses the army . It may also mean a former rest house for travelers.

The small village (field size 278 hectares) was subordinate to the landlords of Liebstadt, who resided at Kuckuckstein Castle. Herbergen was also always assigned to Liebstadt in terms of church and school.

Due to its location on the road leading to Bohemia, hostelries were badly affected, especially during the Thirty Years War and the Napoleonic Wars of Independence, when troops were billeting and looting. For example, during the fighting in 1813, the war camp of the French 44th Division was between Borna and Herbergen. Remains of the field fortifications can still be seen on the Käferberg and Hutberg. On September 9, 1813 , Napoleon I himself stayed on the heights around hostels to watch the troops. In memory of this time, the ridge south of Herbergen was given the name "Napoleonschanze". The current village coat of arms also comes from the period after 1813. It was recreated after French troops plundered the old seal . The coat of arms shows an oak tree with a scythe, rake and plow leaning against it.

The agriculture symbolized by it was economically formative for many centuries. In the immediate vicinity of the village there were also 3 lime kilns for lime kilns in the 19th century . After the Second World War , some residents also found work in companies in the surrounding area or in the Elbe Valley.
