From 1816 Neu-Särichen belonged to the district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) In the administrative district of Liegnitz in the Prussian province of Silesia . In 1843 the place consisted of 45 houses and had 212 inhabitants, most of whom were Evangelical-Lutheran (only four inhabitants were Catholic). The Protestant residents were parish after Hähnichen and the Catholic residents in a Görlitz parish. At that time most of the families from Neu-Särichen were linen weavers, there were also seven craftsmen and a lime distillery. The place name "Särchen" comes from the Sorbian language and refers to a settlement created by slash and burn .
