Leppersdorf is a district of the municipality of Wachau in the district of Bautzen , Saxony . The district extends over an area of approximately 7.3 km² and has about 1000 inhabitants. Until December 31, 1993 Leppersdorf was an independent municipality . The old communities of Leppersdorf, Seifersdorf and Wachau merged on January 1, 1994 to form the new community of Wachau . Since the name of the Altgemeinde Wachau for the new, by municipality merger resulting community Wachau has been maintained, is today the roll call overlap of the municipality Wachau (with their local council Wachau ) with belonging to this community district Wachau (with their Ortschaftsrat Wachau ). So Leppersdorf is structurally equal footing with the districts Seifersdorf, Lomnitz (on 1 January 1998 incorporated ) and Wachau in the municipality Wachau.

history
In 1337 the place of German origin was first mentioned as Luprandisdorf (after the locator name Liutbrand ). The naming was apparently based on the name customary in the Middle Ages for the new settlements after the colonist leaders, presumably Luprand von Sürßen , a ministerial of the Burgraves of Dohna who was documented in three documents from 1309 to 1312 . Further documents from the years 1375 and 1393 tell of Hans, Burgrave of Wittin , who gave Leppersdorf his wife Elisabeth a personal treasure. Leppersdorf emerged as a fishing village due to the very humid and swampy surroundings, because only the surrounding slopes could be used for agriculture. The electoral ponds, which existed in large numbers and were managed by so-called fish masters, were the main source of income for the residents.
During the Thirty Years' War the place suffered severe damage, but in addition to the devastation caused by imperial troops, a raging plague epidemic in 1631 should have displaced most of the residents. On the edge of a forest southeast of the village, a metal cross points to the site of a former plague cemetery from 1584/85.
In the middle of the 19th century, Leppersdorf was predominantly a place characterized by handicrafts and agriculture with around 740 inhabitants, consisting of 32 farms, two water mills and a hereditary court . Many of the local residents also hired themselves as linen weavers . The location on the Alte Poststrasse between Dresden and Kamenz, which has existed since the 18th century, favored rapid development of the place. With the industrialization of Saxony, many residents of the village were employed as construction and industrial workers in the vicinity, especially in the nearby Radeberg with its glass industry.
The village was further settled from the 1990s onwards with the construction of the new “Waldblick” development area with single and multi-family houses on the eastern edge of the village. Agriculture is only practiced occasionally. With the settlement of small businesses and the construction of a state-of-the-art milk processing plant, there were fundamental changes within the economic structures of the village. The Sachsenmilch Leppersdorf GmbH dairy plant employs around 2,000 people and has an annual production capacity of around 1.7 billion kilograms of milk. In 2006, the construction of a substitute fuel power plant in the immediate vicinity of the dairy plant was planned to optimize its power supply. However, a referendum in the municipality of Wachau on December 10, 2006 rejected the necessary changes to the development plan for the chosen location with a majority of 65.47% and 2,578 valid votes. In 2007, the "Substitute fuel power plant" project was tackled again by the Müller company. A new location (350 m from the previous one) was chosen for the substitute fuel plant so that the power plant could be built despite the decision. Ultimately, the project was discarded and a gas and steam turbine power plant is now being built on site. There were no major objections to the ongoing approval process.
Worth seeing
Village church
The Leppersdorfer village church , originally a burial chapel, was verifiably built after the Hussite Wars in the 15th century. The simply held by a gable roof with a pointed octagonal roof skylights covered hall building and the east adjacent sacristy are from about 1680, the earthenware, and provided with a Zinnbecken baptismal font of the 1794th
The interior is bordered at the top by a flat, painted field ceiling. The galleries , arranged on three sides, show rural paintings like the early Baroque pews on the parapet fields. The design of the altar and pulpit is based on common motifs, in the middle under a round arch of the altar a crucifixion group and in the predella a scene of the Lord's Supper, as well as a representation of the four evangelists on the pulpit. The bell of the church consists of three bells from the 16th and 17th centuries. The small bell from 1538, the middle bell from around 1500 and the large bell from 1670 with markings (showing vine tendrils and coats of arms) are still in use today. The organ from 1990 has ten registers and is a work by the Bautzen organ manufacturer Hermann Eule , which replaced a previous structure from 1904. The Leppersdorfer Church is a branch church of the Evangelical Lutheran St. Nicolai parish in Pulsnitz.
The granite stone cross on the northern wall of the cemetery is likely to remind of the Hussite Wars or a plague epidemic. In the cemetery there is also a memorial for those who died in the First World War. The sandstone distance column on the state road at the junction to Lichtenberg dates from 1836.
primary school
As early as 1540 Leppersdorf had its own village teacher. The old school building, which was later converted into a residential building, was replaced by the building that is still in use in 1908. At the primary school only pupils from the 1st to the 4th grade are taught, higher-class schools are located in Radeberg.
