history

The church of Herzogswalde

There is no specific evidence of the founding of Herzogswalde. It can be assumed, however, that it existed several centuries before the Reformation . In 1428 it was called villa Hartigiswalde . This was followed in 1435 Hertigswalde , 1475 Hertchiszwalde , 1557 Hertißwalde , 1597 Hertzwalda and since 1723 it has been called Herzogswalde . The place name means forest village.

In 1445 the von Schönberg family acquired Herzogswalde and Limbach . The post office in the former Erbgericht (today the location of the Gasthaus zum alten Gasstelle) existed from the end of the 17th century until it was relocated to Tharandt in 1833 on the post route Dresden - Freiberg (- Nuremberg ) in the course of Alte Frankenstrasse and Hofer Chaussee (today B. 173 ). In the years 1762–1763 the village church was rebuilt after the tower had been completed a few years earlier. Also in 1763 the organ was installed, which was created by Johann Georg Schön (1706–1764), a master student of Gottfried Silbermann (1683–1753). On November 11, 1813, in the course of the Wars of Liberation in Herzogswalde, a surrender was concluded and announced by the Austrian Colonel Rothkirch, the Russian Colonel Murawiew and the French Colonels Mariou and Victor , but this was not ratified.

Regarding the manorial rule, Herzogswalde was divided into the 19th century. The eastern part belonged as a free float to the Limbach manor in the Dresden Oberamt . The western part belonged as a free float to the manor Krummenhennersdorf around 1551 and from 1696 to the manor Ober-Reinsberg in the district office of Meißen . From 1836, the Meissniche part of the place was briefly part of the Freiberg district office as an exclave . In 1856, Herzogswalde became part of the Wilsdruff court office and, after the judiciary and administration were separated, in 1875, the Meißen district administration.

Herzogswalde hunting lodge

It was not until the 19th century that the neo-Gothic castle of the lords of Schönberg, who lived in the village for 500 years (1445–1945), was built, including parts of a farm, not far from the manor . Between 1899 and 1972 the place had a connection to the narrow-gauge railway Freital-Potschappel-Nossen .

On July 1, 1950, Herzogswalde was initially reclassified from the district of Meißen to the district of Dresden and in July 1952 became part of the newly created district of Freital in the Dresden district , which became part of the Weißeritz district in 1994 and the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district in 2008. On January 1, 1974, the place was incorporated into Mohorn . Since the union of the municipality of Mohorn with the city of Wilsdruff on August 1st, 2000, Herzogswalde has been a district of the city of Wilsdruff.

Herzogswalde is still characterized by agriculture. In addition to the church, the hunting lodge with its park, in which some rare trees thrive, is also worth seeing. The place has an 18-hole golf course and a 9-hole par 3 short course.
