Hirschfelde is a village in southeast Saxony in the Görlitz district on the border with the Polish Voivodeship of Lower Silesia . The formerly independent community was incorporated into the city of Zittau in 2007 .

History and development of the municipality

The place is first mentioned in a document in 1310. However, it was created much earlier, as the church was consecrated in 1299 and at that time a Hirschfelder Johanniter - Kommende was mentioned. Over the centuries of its existence, Hirschfelde was changed its status several times with regard to the constitutional conditions (1396 town, 1419/1777 small town, 1550/1834 spots , 1875 village , 1914–1945 rural community ). The village of Lehde , located at the confluence of the Küpper on the east bank of the Neisse, belonged to Hirschfelde . In 1914 Scharre was incorporated . The place is also east of the Neisse. After the Second World War, both districts came under Polish administration according to the Potsdam Agreement and are now part of Turoszów , part of the Bogatynia municipality .

Further incorporations into Hirschfelde took place in the following years:

• July 1, 1950: Rosenthal
• May 19, 1974: Drausendorf
• January 1, 1999: Hirschfelde and Wittgendorf merge
• January 1, 2002: Hirschfelde and Dittelsdorf merge

Economy and Transport

The headquarters and factories of the Germany-wide well-known detergent manufacturer fit GmbH are located in Hirschfelde . Hirschfelde is located on the federal highway 99 from Görlitz to Zittau and on the Neißetalbahn , which connects Zittau with Görlitz. The Oder-Neisse cycle path along the Lusatian Neisse runs through the village. Despite Poland 's entry into Schengen on December 21, 2007, the Neißebrücke in Neißegasse remains closed as a border crossing to Poland, as no financial means are available for renovation so far. The ash bridge to Poland was demolished in 2009. The city of Zittau and the Free State of Saxony reached an agreement in January 2011 on the demolition of the Gießmannsdorfer bridge on the Neisse power station weir, since Zittau and the city of Bogatynia saw no more use. After the general approval of Poland, the Free State of Saxony took over the demolition.
