geography

Neda Guardian Scale

Nedaschütz lies between Kamenz and Bautzen . The federal highway 4 runs about two kilometers north of the village, the next junctions are Uhyst am Taucher in the west and Salzenforst in the east. The place is on the black water . The course of the river goes before Nedaschütz through the narrow valley to a rocky gorge, the Nedaschützer Skala. This narrow valley landscape, typical of Upper Lusatia, was created during the Elster Ice Age. The meadow valley in between was to be flooded once by a dam. In the Nedaschützer Tal, about 200 meters above the Nedaschütz fish farm, the remains of the already started diversion tunnels for the black water can still be seen at the narrowest point.

The village, first mentioned in 1317 as the manor house of Johannes de Nedaswicz, was an episcopal Meissen knight's seat in 1409 and was a fiefdom until 1579 and the ancestral seat of a line of the von Haugwitz noble family from Meissen . There were several changes of ownership until the parcelling approved by August the Strong in 1717. The manor was owned by the prince-elector chamberlain von Eckstädt and the imperial count von Flemming. From 1590 to 1856 Nedaschütz belonged to the Stolpen office, then to the office and current district of Bautzen. Although the small town appears to be quite insignificant, it and its immediate surroundings were the scene of battles or marches through the wars in 1760 and 1813.

Nedaschütz Castle

In the Seven Years' War there was an order with the following text: “The march of the infantry of the right wing goes from Salzförstchen…. towards Nedaschütz and from here queer over the hill, towards Potzschaplitz; where these troops put themselves in the flank of the enemy, form batteries, and wherever they need to cannon. ”In 1936 Nedaschütz was incorporated into Coblenz together with its district of Kleinprage and in 1994 it came to Göda. Several black water mills were part of the historical site, the largest of which was converted into a fish farm after 1960. Large stables were built on the outskirts by 1980.

The defining building is the Nedaschütz Castle, which was built from 1720 to 1725 in the Saxon Baroque. After several changes of ownership, it was acquired in 1918 by the owners of the Wilthen-based textile factory CG Thomas AG, Albert and Elise Thomas. Until the expropriation in 1946, which also affected their factory, they used the castle as a second home. After being used as a people's house, mayor's office, community nurse station, consumer sales point and restaurant, the castle has been privately owned again since 2008.

Population and language

For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 201 in the 1880s, including 181 Sorbs (90%) and 20 Germans. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population of only 35.2% in the municipality of Coblenz, to which Nedaschütz now belonged. Since then, the use of Sorbian in the village has continued to decline.
