history

Saxon-Prussian boundary stone No. 137

As a result of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 , the Saxon-Prussian border line was drawn between Wiednitz , Großgrabe and Bernsdorf ; Wiednitz and Bernsdorf became Prussian. The Poststrasse from Ortrand to Hoyerswerda ( Coseler Strasse ), running along the municipal boundary between Wiednitz and Großgrabe , formed the new state border. In the Saxon area, the "Waldhof" inn and the "Waldhof annex" were built in the forest area from 1816; However, these were located on the Koenigsbrücker Poststrasse, which ran 400 m to the south. At that time, Coseler Strasse had already lost its importance and was only rarely used. In 1874 the Lübbenau – Kamenz railway line built by the Berlin-Görlitzer Railway Company was completed; its route ran between the Wiednitzer Berg and Bernsdorf. At that time Coseler Straße was only a road and was led on a narrow bridge over the railway to Bernsdorf. In 1891 the AG für Glasfabrikation, formerly Gebrüder Hoffmann, founded the fourth Bernsdorf glass factory with the " Wanne I "; it was created immediately northeast of Waldhof opposite the customs house in the Prussian part of the Lange Holz between the Wiednitzer Berg and the railway.

At the turn of the century on the north side of Coseler Straße on Wiednitzer Flur a brickyard and factory as well as some residential buildings were built. In the heather northwest of the settlement, several open-cast glass sand mines were built for the needs of the Bernsdorf glassworks. The group of houses known as Neu-Wiednitz underwent a significant expansion in the 1920s and 1930s, with residential buildings as well as individual villa buildings being built. The settlement was parish after Großgrabe. The flooded remaining holes of the glass sand mine in the heath were used as bathing ponds since the 1920s. In 1934 the actress Grethe Weiser had a remote summer house built southwest of the Blue Lake.

Administratively, Neu Wiednitz belonged to the district of Hoyerswerda . In 1950 Neu Wiednitz was reassigned to Bernsdorf. Since the administrative reform in the GDR in 1952, Neu Wiednitz belonged to the district of Hoyerswerda and the district of Cottbus , from 1996 to 2008 to the district of Kamenz and since then to the district of Bautzen . Between 1995 and 2012 the former summer house of Grethe Weiser was used as a restaurant and guesthouse "Grethe-Weiser-Haus".
