geography
Kreckwitz is a square village with a manor block and a block corridor . The district is located about 5 km east of Bautzen on the edge of the Lusatian mountains. The Albrechtsbach flows through Kreckwitz in an easterly direction. In the north, the Kreckwitzer heights border the village with the federal motorway 4. The surrounding area consists of meadows, fields and isolated mixed forest. A slowly silting pond is right in the village.
history
Kreckwitz was first mentioned in 1352 as a manor under the name Cristianus de Krekewicz. It later became a manor and, after several name adjustments, was given the name Kreckwitz, which is still official today, in 1529.
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 239 inhabitants in the 1880s; including 229 Sorbs (96%) and ten Germans. In 1956, Ernst Tschernik determined that the Sorbian-speaking population was 80.6%. At that time Kreckwitz was still one of the evangelical villages in Bautzner Land with the highest Sorbian population. Since then, the number of Sorbian speakers has decreased significantly.
The Herrenhaus Schloss Kreckwitz as a central local property was built after 1750 and redesigned after 1813. Since 1901, the manor with the castle was owned by Ottomar Mittag, who sold it to the Riethmüller family in the late 1920s. After the end of the Second World War in 1945, the Riethmüller family was expropriated and the castle was used as a community administration and library. In the 1970s, 3 apartments were built on the top floor, which were inhabited until the 1990s. Today the castle is used irregularly for events that take place in the ballroom. The rest of the building remains unused.
The highest number of inhabitants to date was recorded in 1950 with 339 inhabitants and has been falling since then. Kreckwitz was in self-administration and was not incorporated into Purschwitz until 1979 . In 1994 they were incorporated into Kubschütz . The church organization took place in 1530 with the parish of Purschwitz. The denomination of the church in Purschwitz, first mentioned in 1222, is Evangelical-Lutheran.
Attractions
In Kreckwitz there is a historic mansion including an estate and an associated park, in which thousands and thousands of crocuses bloom every spring . A village pond with an island used to be used for regional fish farming, but has now been left to its own devices and is increasingly silting up as a biotope.
The Blücherdenkmal stands on the Kreckwitzer Heights, just north of the first hill, easily accessible on foot or by bike. On the third hill (of a total of four, counting from west to east) of the Kreckwitzer Heights there is a large group of rocks on the south side with a rocky promontory, which is adorned with a historical inscription commemorating the Battle of Bautzen from 1813.
sport and freetime
In 1987 Kreckwitz was named the sportiest village in the Bautzen district. The multi-sport club MSV Blau-Weiß Kreckwitz e. V. offers its members and guests a wide range of sports. Sports facilities include an asphalt bowling alley, a beach volleyball court and a soccer field. Traditional sporting events are the Kreckwitzer Höhenlauf, the beach volleyball summer tournament, the family hike and the club's sports festival.
Transport links
The district road K 7220 runs through Kreckwitz (there are no street names, only house numbers), which crosses the S 119 in Doberschütz in the north and the K 7219 in the south and thus in both cases the connection to the closest city of Bautzen and the Bautzen junction -East of the federal highway 4 is guaranteed. At the southern junction of the K 7219 is the only stop for public transport in the town, where the Regionalbus Oberlausitz GmbH buses (line Bautzen - Baruth - Bautzen) run regularly. There is an additional bus stop for school buses on the village square in the center of the village.
geology
On the eastern edge of the village, a hidden, approx. 650 to 700 meter large maar was discovered through geophysical measurements in 2001 and verified in 2003. This maar is considered to be another witness of the explosive volcanism in the Tertiary in what is now Saxony .
