The Lindenberg belongs with a height of 370.5 m above sea level. NN is one of the smaller surveys in the small town of Neusalza-Spremberg in the Oberlausitzer Bergland in Saxony .
Location and name
The Lindenberg is located south of the village between the Dresden – Zittau rail link and the city's forest and adventure pool, completed in 1928, in the Sonneberg district . In the west it is limited by Lindenstrasse. It runs from the city over the railway bridge and the top of the hill to the swimming pool and the Czech border. In the north, the Lindenberg is bordered by the Bergstrasse. Its immediate neighbor to the east is the Stadtberg ( 367.5 m ). The Lindenberg got its name from the linden trees that the residents of Neu-Salza once planted on the side of the street.
Geology and geography
The mountain, like the other hills in the city, is made of granite , which is also covered with a layer of loess clay. To the east the ridge merges almost seamlessly into that of the city mountain. Both elevations, which are almost the same height, are separated in their middle by an extension of the Bergstrasse, which leads to the "Stadtberg-Houses". The mountain slopes gently to the north and south, with its foothills being characterized by fields and meadows. The municipal cemetery is on its top. The mountain peak provides a panoramic view of the Neuspremberg district in the east, the outdoor swimming pool and the border forests in the south and the Sonneberg district and the Hänscheberg in the west.
history
The forerunners of today's Lindenstrasse, Sonnebergstrasse and Rumburger Strasse belonged to the old traffic connections that led from Spremberg and later from Neusalza to Northern Bohemia . A section of the old lime tree avenue is still available today on the western slope parallel to the new asphalt road. During the Hussite Wars (1419–1434) the Bohemian religious fighters a. a. on these country roads into southern Upper Lusatia, in order to besiege and capture the six cities of Bautzen and Löbau in 1429 and 1431 . The Hussites also visited Spremberg and burned down the then important church around 1430. The Lindenberg was already important in the early days of the town of Neu-Salza for its drinking water supply due to a spring and was also fixed in the relevant local historical document Politischer Receß der Stadt Neu-Salza , which was agreed between the rulers and the citizens and was founded by Elector Johann Georg II . was ratified by Saxony on June 12, 1673 (see AATuchatsch 1870, 1999, p. 15f; also L. Mohr 2017, p. 24).
During the Napoleonic Wars (1806–1815) Spremberg and Neusalza and their surroundings were billeting and transit areas for foreign troops. On September 14, 1813, a French army corps of 6,000 men camped over a large area between Lindenberg and Hutzelberg . During the tenure of Neusalza Mayor Johann Hättasch from 1807 to 1833, the new municipal cemetery was built on the Lindenberg plateau in 1817, as the old one at the small Neusalza church was no longer sufficient for burials and was too wet. The chapel on the "Bergfriedhof" was not built until 1899, however. Remarkable tombs of Neusalza personalities can be found on the Gottesacker, such as the mayor and local chronicler August Adolph Tuchatsch , who headed the city from 1856 to 1885 and made a great contribution to the local history of Neusalza, the pastor Gottfried Müller (1765-1830), who lived in Neusalza officiated from 1801 to 1830 and died here on March 16 of the same year and his wife Christiane Eleonore, b. Fochte (1763–1817) or the judicial council and Oberlausitzer local history researcher Gustav Hermann Schulze (1833–1901). However, his grave no longer exists.
A more recent tombstone commemorates the naval officer Gerd Steputat, a native of Neusalza-Spremberg, who served in the GDR People's Navy in the 1960s and had a fatal accident there. The marine symbol of an anchor with a ship's steering wheel was engraved in the perfectly shaped stone at the top left . The stone bears the inscription: "Here rests in peace Gerd Steputat, Unterleutnant , * 12.11.1945, + 22.5.1969 Unforgotten" . On the western slope of the mountain, not far from Lindenstrasse, there was a brickworks with a ring kiln for the production of clay bricks until the 1950s . Today nothing reminds of it.
