history

Bertilsdorf was first mentioned in writing in 1346, when the Church of St. Jodokus was listed in the parish directory of the Meissen diocese . The manor had been a fief of the Bohemian Crown since the Middle Ages and had no connection with the Friedland dominion . At the transition from the 14th to the 15th century, the estate came under the jurisdiction of the six towns of Görlitz . At that time, however, both the Lords of Bieberstein on Friedland and the Counts of Dohna on Grafenstein had ambitions to bring the estate lent to the Lords of Tschirnhaus under their suzerainty. In the 16th century there was a tripartite division into the goods Nieder Bertelsdorff , Mittel Bertelsdorff and Ober Bertelsdorff . After Albrecht von Waldstein had acquired the power of Friedland, he bought the Ober Partzdorf estate from Hieronymus von Nostitz for 6990 thalers. At the same time, Waldstein also bought the other two Partzdorf estates in order to remove the enclave. However, at the time of Waldstein's murder, the owners of all three goods had not yet received any purchase money, so the purchases became invalid. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years War, numerous changes of ownership took place. In 1689 the Counts of Gallas acquired Ober Berzdorf ; They had already bought the other two Berzdorf estates between 1662 and 1665; and attached the estate to the Friedland rule. This ended the division of the village into three estates. The farms in Ober Berzdorf and Nieder Berzdorf were given up and their corridors were managed by the Meierhof Mittel-Berzdorf. In the second half of the 18th century the entire village was referred to as Mittel-Berzdorf , Bertholdsdorf and Bertlsdorf ; it consisted of 102 properties, the church and the Meierhof. Since the beginning of the 19th century, the scattered settlement in the upper exit of the valley formed the local community of Ober-Berzdorf and the Waldhufendorf below (formerly goods Mittel-Berzdorf and Nieder-Berzdorf) formed the local community of Nieder-Berzdorf.

In 1832 Ober-Berzdorf consisted of 94 houses with 627 German-speaking residents. The single-layer Hainhaus hunter's house , the single-layer Flarrschänke and a mill were located on the Prussian border . The parish was Nieder-Berzdorf. In 1838 Eduard Clam-Gallas inherited the property. Until the middle of the 19th century, Ober-Berzdorf remained subject to the allodial rule of Friedland .

After the abolition of patrimonial Ober-Berzdorf / Horní Berzdorf formed from 1850 a municipality in the Bunzlauer Kreis and judicial district Friedland . From 1868 Ober-Berzdorf belonged to the Friedland district . In 1892 a new school building was inaugurated in Nieder-Berzdorf for the communities of Ober-Berzdorf and Nieder-Berzdorf. The Czech name Horní Pertoltice has also been used as an official name since 1923 . In 1930 Ober-Berzdorf had 446 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , it was incorporated into the German Reich in 1938; until 1945 Ober-Berzdorf belonged to the Friedland district . In 1939 the community had 402 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War, Horní Pertoltice came back to Czechoslovakia. In 1946 and 1947, most of the German-Bohemian residents were expelled. At the end of 1949, the municipalities of Dolní Pertoltice and Horní Pertoltice were merged to form the municipality of Pertoltice . On May 1, 1980 Horní Pertoltice was incorporated together with Pertoltice to Habartice . Since January 1st, 1991 Horní Pertoltice belongs as a district to the rebuilt municipality Pertoltice. In 1991 Horní Pertoltice had 84 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 36 houses in which 73 people lived. It consists of 67 houses in total.

cantor

The cantor of the Catholic St. Trinity Chapel in Leipzig, Franz Alscher, comes from Berzdorf. He was born in the village in 1798. He is the "discoverer" of the song Silent Night, Holy Night , which 13 years after its creation was only known in Oberndorf near Salzburg and in the Zillertal . During the Leipzig Christmas market in 1831, he heard the Strasser siblings from the Zillertal singing , trying to attract visitors to their stand with their songs. There they offered gloves and socks. Cantor Alscher noticed the song mentioned, about the history of which he knew nothing. He invited the siblings to perform their song during the Christmas mass, which the Trinity congregation would celebrate in their chapel in the Pleißenburg on Christmas Eve, which the siblings did. The Strasser siblings were invited to perform their songs on January 19, 1832 during the interval between the Leipzig Gewandhaus concert. The reviewer wrote in the Allgemeine Musikischen Zeitung No. 5 of February 1, 1832: “During the break, the three amiable daughters and a son of the Strasser family from the Zillerthale (merchants, not singers by profession) were asked until they gave the full assembly the joy of performing a few Tyrolean national songs, and so lovely, that the hall echoed with stormy cheers. ”Cantor Franz Alscher was able to follow the song's triumphant run around the world for several years.

Local division
