history

Heyda was first mentioned as Heida in 1214 and, as a monastery village, belonged to the possessions of the Riesa monastery. According to the type of settlement, the place is a street perch village with a corridor . Since two important medieval highways from Großenhain to Leipzig and from Meißen to Riesa crossed here, there was already a gift in town in 1233 . In 1283 an Arnold von Heide is named. Later the spelling changed from Heyde (1334) and Heydaw (1543) to Heyda, which has been official since the 19th century.

Originally there were two other settlements on Heydaer Flur. Miltitz , probably a founding of the noble family of the same name based at Scharfenberg Castle , was located in the flood area of ​​the Elbe and was most likely abandoned again soon after a flood. In 1565 the desert fields were left to the farmers of the neighboring towns for cultivation. Another devastation lay between Heyda, Mergendorf and Poppitz . Lechau is first mentioned in 1214 as villa lechove and in 1234 it is referred to as an allodium (genetic material). When and why the place became deserted remains unclear.

In connection with the Reformation the Riesa monastery was dissolved in 1542. Two years later, Merten von Miltitz acquired the previous estates and converted them into a manor , which remained the landlord of Heyda until the forced labor was replaced. Until the middle of the 19th century, administration was the responsibility of the Meissen Hereditary Authority . In the course of an administrative reform, Heyda came to the Riesa court office in 1856 and to the administrative authority of Großenhain in 1875 . With the administrative reorganization in the GDR, the place was assigned to the Riesa district in 1952. In 1994 it was incorporated into Mehltheuer . Since Mehltheuer merged with other communities and the larger community was renamed on October 1, 1996, Heyda has belonged to Hirschstein as a district. In 2008 this came to the district of Meißen as part of the second district reform in Saxony.

Fallen memorial
  • Village church: The first village church was probably built around 1150 and was first mentioned in a document in 1222. in the 16th century it belonged to Leutewitz as a branch church . In addition to Heyda, the neighboring town of Kobeln was also parish. A major renovation took place in 1646/47. In 1770 it received a new organ from the Saxon court and country organ builder Johann Ernst Hähnel . The tower originally attached to the center of the nave was replaced by a new building on the west side in 1798. In 1862 the parish decided to replace the previous church with a new building. Renewed reconstructions took place in 1882 and 1891. On August 21, 1901, the church tower collapsed during construction work, but was rebuilt a little later. In this context, the listed building was essentially given its current appearance. After 1990 the church was renovated in several construction phases. Since 2001 it has been part of the Prausitz parish .
