history

Lutgersdorf , on the border of the Archdiocese of Prague and the Diocese of Meißen , was first mentioned in 1347. Since 1416, the entire village was demonstrably under the suzerainty of the Friedland lordship . In the middle of the 15th century Leutersdorf was divided into the Oberleutersdorf and Niederleutersdorf estates . When Upper Lusatia was handed over after the Peace of Prague, Oberleutersdorf came to the Electorate of Saxony in 1635 , while Niederleutersdorf remained as an exclave to the Kingdom of Bohemia .

In 1735, the financially distressed owner divided the Oberleutersdorf manor into four manors; one of them was formed from the former Vorwerk Mittelleutersdorf . The estate was owned by wealthy local traders. The manor formed a small political community, the center of which was the Mittelkretscham. As a result of the expansion of the estate, the Leutersdorfer estates had few indulgent peasants at their disposal, so that the lordship built properties on the outskirts for the court people. Shortly after 1800, the Neue Sorge settlement , which was also called Neumittelleutersdorf , was built on the edge of the forest area, which at that time stretched to the Oderwitz Spitzberg , on the northeastern border of the Bohemian exclave Niederleutersdorf .

The majority of the inhabitants of Mittelleutersdorf were denominationally Protestant; in 1834 there were two Catholics in the community. Mittelleutersdorf was parish to Oberleutersdorf, the old church stood south of the manor Oberleutersdorf I, opposite Mittelleutersdorf directly on the border.

After the establishment of the German Customs Union , the pascherei in Leutersdorf took on enormous proportions; almost all residents occasionally smuggled across the unmanageable border, and a large part of them ran the fancy dress business. Due to the main border and territorial recess between the Kingdom of Saxony and the Austrian Empire on March 5, 1848, the Bohemian exclave Niederleutersdorf came to Saxony on March 12, 1849, so that the state border south of Mittelleutersdorf fell away.

In 1865 the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Oberleutersdorf built the new Christ Church in the Mittelleutersdorf district.

The community of Mittelleutersdorf with the district of Neue Sorge joined Oberleutersdorf in 1870. In 1907 the communities Niederleutersdorf, Oberleutersdorf and Josephsdorf merged to form the rural community of Leutersdorf.

Townscape

Mittelleutersdorf is a Waldhufendorf part with rows of cottagers. Several half-timbered houses have been preserved in the local area .

The Evangelical Lutheran Christ Church was built in 1865 according to plans by the Zittau master builder Carl August Schramm and replaced the old Oberleutersdorf church located approx. 250 m southwest of it. The neo-Gothic building bears a strong resemblance to the Neuleutersdorfer Catholic parish church of the Assumption, which Schramm had designed three years earlier. After extensive renovation, the sister church of the Seifhennersdorfer Kreuzkirche , which had been closed since 2004, was opened to the public again in 2006.

The Klingermühle stood south-east of Mittelleutersdorf on Josephsdorfer Flur. From the post mill on the Windmühlenberg only the miller's house remains, it is the residence of the musician Günter Gocht .
