(LSH) is a registered association that pursues the goal of preserving the natural and historically grown character of the Upper Saxon homeland, protecting its nature, designing its landscape responsibly and researching and maintaining its historical and cultural values. The purpose of the statutes is realized through the maintenance of natural monuments, nature reserves and cultural monuments. The association has been a recognized nature conservation association since 1991 according to the Federal Nature Conservation Act and the Saxon Nature Conservation Act.

history

The Landesverein Sächsischer Heimatschutz was founded in 1908 by folklorist and chief building officer Karl Schmidt (1853-1922) and by Saxon folklorist Oskar Seyffert as the successor organization to the committee for local nature, art and architecture that had existed since 1903 . In 1913 the State Museum for Saxon Folk Art opened its permanent exhibition in the Jägerhof , in 1923 it was taken over by the State Association together with the Association for Saxon Folklore .

From 1908 to 1941, the regional association published the magazine "Mitteilungen des Landesverein Sächsischer Heimatschutz".

As early as 1921, the regional association set up a research and recreation home in the manor house of the former Bienhof estate near Oelsen . In the area surrounding the Hammergut, the association acquired numerous mountain meadows by 1945 and established the second largest nature reserve in Saxony with a size of 282 hectares.

The DC circuit in the "Third Reich" was performed at the latest, as in 1940 the founding chairman of the National Socialist dominated Heimatwerk Saxony , Friedrich Emil Krauss , chairman was the country club.

In 1949, the regional association was put under political and economic pressure and finally its assets were confiscated without compensation . As early as 1946, the nature conservation areas in the vicinity of Bienhof and Oelsen acquired by the association were expropriated as part of the land reform and divided up for agricultural use. It was not until 1967 that around 132 hectares of meadows, forests and stone ridges could be placed under nature protection again.

Although the national association was not officially banned, the ability of the association, which had been robbed of its property, was lost due to external political pressure.

A reorganization of the state association, which was never dissolved, took place in the course of the political change in the GDR and before the reunification of the two German states on October 3, 1990. The first general meeting since 1945 took place on April 7, 1990.

In the initial phase after its reconstitution, the association supported, in addition to the Saxon Switzerland Initiative (SSI), the newly founded National Park Administration in establishing the Elbe Sandstone Mountains as the Saxon Switzerland National Park and was a sought-after contact person for the creation of a nature reserve on the border between the Vogtland and Bavaria.

In the area around Bienhof and Oelsen, the association acquired over 200 hectares of forest, meadows and fields and continued the nature conservation work that had already started in the early 1920s. Between 2003 and 2007, the state association was responsible for the testing and development project "Restoration of species-rich mountain meadows in the Eastern Ore Mountains", which was funded by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation and the Saxon State Ministry for Environment and Agriculture .

In 2005, the regional association Sächsischer Heimatschutz became part of the Lausitzer Seenland gGmbH and supports the large-scale nature conservation project Lausitzer Seenland .

The German National Committee for Monument Protection awarded in 2013 the country club "for his exemplary and extraordinary commitment to protecting especially the archaeological monuments» Castle Hill Zschaitz, "" Late Bronze Age settlement Lommatzsch "and" Castle Hill Niederwartha (Dresden), "" the German Prize for monument protection.
