The place was first mentioned in 1128. 1507 purchased Christoph Ziegler , the Vorwerk Cleyn Rwgerstorf (small Röhrsdorf). The noble Ziegler family, originally a councilor of the city of Dresden, had owned the neighboring Gauernitz since the end of the 14th century . After the brothers Hieronymus, Balthasar and Frantz Ziegler divided up their property in 1525, Hieronymus had a castle built in 1528. Klein-Röhrsdorf, now called Klipphausen, got its own manor and became independent from Gauernitz. In the same century, however, the bricklayers were forced to sell the estate because of debt. However, they continued to call themselves von Ziegler and Klipphausen . The manor continued to rule well into the 18th century .

The place name probably comes from the fact that Klipphausen, a place remote from Gauernitz, was referred to as a “cliff”, that is, from a somewhat distant, remote place, as the cliff is the outer, remote part of a rock.

With the Saxon rural community order of 1838 , Klipphausen received the status of a rural community. The place already had a first part called pub . Around 1900, extended to the street Angersdorf a 420 hectare large strip corridor on which pursued the approximately 400 residents of the village agriculture. The population fell to 388 in 1925 due to the First World War . Of these 388 inhabitants, 361 were Evangelical Lutheran , six Catholic and three without a denomination . Klipphausen was parish in Röhrsdorf and is now part of the local parish .

In 1909 the first section of the narrow-gauge railway Wilsdruff – Gärtitz between Wilsdruff and Meißen-Triebischtal was released. Klipphausen got a stop on the narrow-gauge railway west of the town center. In 1966 this railway line was closed again because it was no longer economical enough. The street name "Bahnhofsweg" still reminds of the route today.

The rural community had belonged to the Amtshauptmannschaft Meißen since 1875 (referred to as the district from 1939), which was converted into the Meißen district in the Dresden district after the Second World War and the collapse of Nazi Germany . In 1950, through the incorporation of the neighboring town of Sachsdorf, the municipality of Klipphausen was created , which today has 43 districts with Klipphausen as the main town.

After incorporation in 1974 and 1994, a further contract for a community association in 1999 stipulated that the local constitution would be introduced in Klipphausen . Since then, both the local council for the village of Klipphausen and the municipal administration have been based in Klipphausen. The local council consists of eight members and, in addition to Klipphausen, is also responsible for the towns of Hühndorf , Kleinschönberg, Lampersdorf , Lotzen , Röhrsdorf, Sachsdorf, Sora and Weistropp . The village of Klipphausen thus corresponds to the former municipality of Klipphausen with its districts, which existed from 1994 to 1998.

In the post-reunification period, many single-family houses and the corresponding infrastructure were built south of the town center.

Culture and sights

Bridge over the Wilde Sau, in the background the castle, 1983

Klipphausen Castle, built in 1528, has been redesigned several times. Today it has a simple design, features of several style epochs can be found inside the castle. Judging by the room layout, renovations were carried out after the Thirty Years' War and around 1700. At the north entrance there is a sandstone slab with the coats of arms of the von Ziegler and von Maltitz families , underneath is engraved:

Klipphausen Castle (2012)

"Kliphavsen · is · my · in ·
Gotes · Hant · stand · who ·
has · me · who · avoid · me · 1528“

This plate is the oldest known mention of the name Klipphausen. The castle has a gable roof and two storeys that are connected by a spiral staircase that is not visible from the outside.

After multiple changes of ownership in the 17th and 18th centuries, the castle was bought in 1762 by Maximilian Freiherr von Fletscher. In 1794 it came to the Reuss-Köstritz house through inheritance through his daughter Johanne Friederike , where it remained until 1945. The last owners, the princesses Gertrud and Anna Reuss zu Köstritz, were expropriated in 1945.

In addition to Klipphausen Castle, where the municipal administration is located today, the Lehmannmühle in town is well worth seeing. It was built in the 17th century and is the last remaining watermill in the Wild Sau valley. The Lehmannmühle is designated as a technical monument and has a functioning overshot water wheel .

Economy and Infrastructure

The state road 177 separates the district in eastern and western part. While the place is to the east of the state road, in the 1990s a commercial area of 87 hectares was created on the western side , which was expanded in 2007 and 2009 and is now the headquarters of around 90 companies. The companies settling in the Klipphausen industrial park benefited from the federal motorway 4 ( Frankfurt- Dresden) running south of the town . With the state road 177, it has a junction immediately north of the municipal border to Wilsdruff , which also connects the neighboring industrial areas Hühndorfer Höhe, Sora, Röhrsdorf and Riemsdorf to the trunk road network.

Starting from the state road, the district road "Meißner Straße" leads north-east of the industrial park into the center of Klipphausen. The roads are connected to the surrounding towns via a roundabout . The buses of the Meißen transport company connect the town to the nearest major train stations in Meißen and Dresden .

In Klipphausen there is a day-care center and one of the three primary schools in the municipality.
