geography

Map of Oberreit with Mittelherwigsdorf around 1845

The 7.5 kilometer long forest hoof village is located about 3 kilometers northwest of Zittau am Rietschebach and the Mandau in the area of ​​the Zittau and Oderwitz basins . In the shape of an arch, it is composed of Oberherwigsdorf (Oberdorf), Mittelherwigsdorf (Mitteldorf) and the disk . The districts of Oberseifersdorf and Eckartsberg are (north) east of it, and the district of Radgendorf is located east of Eckartsberg.

Surrounding communities are Herrnhut (district Großhennersdorf ) in the north, Zittau from northeast to south, Bertsdorf-Hörnitz and Hainewalde in the southwest, and Oderwitz in the west.

The federal road 96 cuts on its way from Oderwitz to Zittau the middle village and south of it takes the state road 139 coming from Spitzkunnersdorf , which touches the settlement area of ​​Mittelherwigsdorf. After its completion, the federal highway 178 coming from the federal highway 4 and leading via Löbau will cut the upper village and flow into the already existing northeast bypass of the Zittau city center between Oberseifersdorf and Eckartsberg, which crosses the federal highway 99 and leads to the border crossing Zittau - Sieniawka .

history

Historically mentioned for the first time in 1312, the place originally consisted of three parts, Oberherwigsdorf (called Bettelsdorf in 1410 and incorporated in 1974), the so-called disc, a knight's seat mentioned in 1359 and the actual parish of Herwigsdorf, each with its own local judge. As a result of the Reformation , the Celestine monks on the Oybin were forced to gradually sell the place, which they were able to take into their possession in the 15th century, to the city of Zittau . Until then, predominantly agricultural, the weaving trade developed more and more , which resulted in today's well-known townscape with many densely built half-timbered houses .

During the GDR era, the VEB Erdölververarbeitungwerk Schwedt set up a children's holiday camp for the children of its employees.
