Neudorf (near Pechern)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neudorf (also called Neudorf bei Pechern ), Nowa Wjes in Upper Sorbian , is an abandoned settlement in the municipality of Krauschwitz in the Görlitz district in Saxony . In its almost 400-year history, the actually Silesian village on the border with Upper Lusatia belonged to the Silesian Principality of Sagan , but for most of the time it was lent to the Upper Lusatian magistrate, Muskau , which is why it is sometimes also part of Upper Lusatia.

geography

Course of the border between Upper Lusatia and Silesia near Neudorf (1736)

Neudorf was west of Pechern in the Pecherner Heide, which today belongs to the Muskauer Heide natural area . Of the 2284 acres in the district (as of 1873), 2254 acres were forest and 30 acres were arable land.

Surrounding villages are Haide and Weißkeißel in the west, Keula and Sagar in the northwest and Skerbersdorf in the northeast. The also devastated village of Brand was between Haide and Neudorf.

history

Neudorf was founded in 1545. In 1553 Neudorf was still an administrative village that was not lent by Priebus , only later did the village become a fief of the Principality of Sagan.

At the beginning of the 17th century, Neudorf came under the rule of Muskau . Robert Pohl announced an exchange for a share of Groß Särchen in 1602 between the Muskau burgrave Wilhelm zu Dohna and Heinrich Anshelm von Promnitz, while Willi A. Boelcke assigned the change of ownership to the year 1614, when Hans von Rakel sold the Pechern manor to Carl Christoph zu Dohna sold on Muskau. After Carl Christoph's death in 1525, Neudorf remained under the rule of Muskau, while Pechern fell back to the Principality of Sagan. In a lengthy dispute, the saganian rule withdrew the property lent to Muskau in 1689, including Neudorf, but the judgment was not implemented until 1723. The Muskau rulers took legal action against it for a few more decades before they got the fief back.

After the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), the inhabitants were so poor that the majority of them could not afford the relatively low inheritance purchase money for the conversion of lazy foods into hereditary property, which was made possible from 1765 onwards.

In 1815, Hermann von Pückler wanted to build a glassworks in order to increase income and better use the forest , for which the Neudorf plant, which was built in the previous century, was an option , but ultimately the one in Jämlitz was chosen.

As a Saganic Lehndorf, Neudorf and Pechern belonged to the Sagan district . The manor district of Neudorf b. Pechern was reclassified in 1929, the community Pechern only in 1932 with the dissolution of the Saganer district in the district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) . Until then, the two places were the only ones in the Sagan district that were west of the Lusatian Neisse .

In the twentieth century the village of Neudorf was abandoned towards the end of the thirties. The Neudorf forestry department, which was temporarily the seat of the Skerbersdorf forestry department, was retained.

Population development

In 1553, eight years after the town was founded, 13 farming families lived in Neudorf. In the middle of the 18th century the place was devastated, in 1782 there were three gardeners' foodstuffs that were inhabited by families of forest workers. Their population was put at 15.

Place name

Document mentions of the name include Newdorfflein (1558), Neundorff (1568) and Neudorff (1732). In Weigel's description of the sovereign Duchy of Silesia the place was called Neudörfel in 1802 , and the Sorbian name was also given in 1885 with Nowa Wjeska in this correspondence. The historical place directory of Saxony names Nowa Wjes as a Sorbian place name, which is an equivalent of Neudorf .
