history

The oldest building in Hetzwalde is probably the Hetzemühle built between 1775 and 1780 by the miller Johann Gottfried Eichhorn on the Löfflerschen Berg (Hetzwalder Berg) . At the end of the 18th century, the owner of the Oberleutersdorf II manor had the manor floors northwest of the Löfflerchen mountain parceled out and settled. The first written mention of the newly created village of Hetzwalda took place in 1791. The village was marked as Herzogswalda on a plan of the Eibauer area prepared by the hunter Graner on behalf of the Zittau Council .

The settlers built their houses around an open space stretching to the southwest. They called their village baiting and Kretscham was baiting tavern . The original town center now forms the outer settlement of the Hetzwalder Ring and has grown to 39 houses. The inner settlement was created later through the development of the square.

Because of the favorable route through the flat bottom of the Leutersdorfer water, the residents of Hetzwalde turned to Alt-Gersdorf and Neugersdorf from the start. They attended church services in Neugersdorf and also sent their children to school there. Leutersdorf could only be reached over long and sometimes arduous routes over or around the mountain.

Hetzwalde was originally part of the municipality of Oberleutersdorf. In 1907 the communities Niederleutersdorf , Oberleutersdorf and Josephsdorf were united to form a rural community of Leutersdorf. The Hetzemühle, whose owner had also been running a bakery since 1877, ceased operations in 1929. In 1932 Karl Geißler founded a wine press. During the GDR era, there was a sweet must and fruit wine press in Hetzwalde, which was taken over by Karl Linke in 1977, and a metal spring factory. In 2002 the regionally well-known Kelterei Linke relocated its premises from Hetzwalde to Neugersdorf in the Cameroon industrial park.

Hate speech

The landmark of the place is the Hetzemühle, visible from afar, above the village. The former five-wing windmill is the largest preserved post mill in Saxony and at the same time the largest and oldest windmill in Upper Lusatia . After the Second World War, only one mill wing remained, which had been falling apart since the 1960s. At the mill have been since the 1920s bonfires held. In May 2002 the association Hetzemühle eV was founded, which also revived the tradition of the St. John's bonfires, which was extinguished in 1939. The declared aim of the association is to provide the mill with five wings again.
