Milstrich , in Upper Sorbian , is a village in the north-west of the Bautzen district in East Saxony and has been part of the Oßling community since 1994 . It is located in Upper Lusatia and is the only part of Oßling that is part of the official Sorbian settlement area . In terms of population, Milstrich is the second largest district in the municipality.
geography
The place Milstrich is located about seven kilometers northeast of Kamenz and 25 kilometers northwest of Bautzen on the Black Elster , which flows here from the south through the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape . The area around the place is flat; Extensive forests extend to the south-east and west. The Elsteraue, on the other hand, is used for arable farming.
The older part of the place is a typical street perch village on the right bank of the Schwarzen Elster, while on the left side of the river there is an extension from a forework. As is common in Angerdörfern, the gables of the houses in the village center point towards the main street (here: Mittelstrasse). In the village itself there are three ponds, namely the Casparteich in the south and the Hälters and Brauhaus pond on the Elster in the west of the village. Not far from the river in the western part of the village is the former manor, which has been listed as a manor since 1528.
The neighboring towns are Döbra in the northeast, five kilometers away Piskowitz in the south, Schiedel in the southwest and Weißig in the northwest. The Oßling community center is four kilometers to the north.
history
Milstrich was first mentioned in 1348 and already had its current name back then. For the year 1370 in is Abbey of St. Mary Star , a provost Nicholas of Milstrich occupied.
In 1777 the manor was in Milstrich at the Skaska manor ; after Johann Kanig acquired the Milstrich estate, which was consequently raised to the nobility in 1804, large parts of the present-day community of Oßling, including the main town itself, belonged to the Milstrich manor in the 19th century.
Until the district reform in 1994, Milstrich was an independent municipality without districts; then it was combined with the communities of Lieske , Skaska-Döbra, Oßling and the district of Liebegast von Sollschwitz to form the new unified community of Oßling.
Place name
The interpretation of the place name is not possible without a doubt. The unusual ending -trich , which can also be found in the further eastern village of Eutrich (Sorb. Jitk , cf. Jitro for Milstrich), is striking . Older sources sometimes derive the origin of the Sorbian name from jutro ("the morning") and refer to a presumed Slavic morning god ( Jutrobog , cf. Jüterbog ), whose worship, however, has not yet been proven. Other historical sources connect the German form of the name with the Milzenern who settled this area.
While the German place name has been the same since it was first mentioned, the forms Jitrow or Zitrow appear in older Sorbian sources .
population
In the 18th century, Milstrich was already a relatively large village with 13 possessed men, 8 gardeners and 21 cottagers. In 1834 it had 279 inhabitants. The population gradually increased to 317 by the Second World War (1939). Due to the influx of displaced persons from the German eastern areas, there was a rapid population increase in the post-war years, so that Milstrich already had 400 inhabitants in 1950. This number fell again to just over 300 by 1990 and has been stable since then, which is unusual for the region.
Until the 20th century, the vast majority of the population spoke Sorbian as their mother tongue. Arnošt Muka had 305 residents in the 1880s, of which 285 (93%) were Sorbs . At that time Milstrich was on the western edge of the core settlement area. In the first half of the 20th century, and especially with the heavy immigration of German-speaking refugees after 1945, Sorbian was largely displaced from everyday life. In 1956, the Sorbian-speaking population was only 23.6%, with only six Sorbian children and young people left. Today field and family names bear witness to the Sorbian heritage.
Since the Reformation, the population has been predominantly Evangelical-Lutheran and parish to Oßling. The small Catholic part belongs to the parish of Kamenz .
