geology

Run of the Quohrender brook at the spa gardens

The landscape of Kreischa belongs to the northeastern slope of the Ore Mountains. The community is located in the Döhlen basin whose Rotliegend sediments separate the gneisses of the eastern Ore Mountains from the Elbe Chalk. The Rotliegend layers contain coal seams, which, however, cannot be mined profitably by today's standards. In the past, however, hard coal mining was also carried out in the area around Kreischa, albeit to a much lesser extent than in neighboring Freital. The former Cotta shaft between Kleinkarsdorf and Quohren and the Dippold shaft at the Hornschänke are evidence of this . In some of the old walls of the church property and on the Lungkwitzer Gut, reddish, layered sandstones of the Rotliegend were built, which were broken in the area.

geomorphology

The Quohrener Water, which forms the main axis of the town, flows into the Lockwitzbach near Kreischa . The valleys that cleared these two bodies of water, together with the flat undulating area in the vicinity of Kreischa, are known as the “ Kreischa Basin ”. The southeastern border of the basin is formed by a ridge near the Karsdorf fault line with the Wilischberg ( basalt ). The Babisnauer Poplar natural monument roughly marks the northern edge of the basin. The Kreischa basin is drained by the Lockwitzbach and its tributaries through the Lockwitzgrund to the Elbe .

history

Seal of the community of Kreischa

In 1282 the place was first mentioned in the name of a Heinricus de Kryschowe . The place name can be interpreted from old Slavic roots as "village of the crooked, lame".

The village of Kreischa originally consisted of the districts

• Niederkreischa, a row village with manor blocks and block parcels
• Mittelkreischa, a single row forest hoof village
• Oberkreischa, also a single row forest hoof village

In 1378 the place belonged to the castrum Dresden, around 1440 probably on the border of the care Dohna and the care Dresden. In 1539 the first (Lutheran) parish was mentioned in Kreischa. In 1547 the manor was divided between two manors, Oberkreischa and Unterkreischa. From 1547 to 1856 Oberkreischa (1620: "Gros Kreuscha") belonged to the Dresden office , the former Dohna Unterreischa ("Klein Kreuscha") and the property belonging to the Zehista manor belonged to the Pirna office . In 1834 the place received market rights. In 1856 Kreischa belonged to the Dippoldiswalde judicial district and from 1875 to 1952 to the Dippoldiswalde district administration . During this time the place developed into a summer resort and a climatic health resort at the gates of Dresden. An overland tram, the “ Lockwitztalbahn ”, was built through the Lockwitzgrund and was in operation from 1904 to 1977.

In 1952, Kreischa and today's districts became part of the Freital district (later the district ). In 1973 the municipalities of Gombsen, Kleincarsdorf, Lungkwitz, Quohren and Theisewitz were incorporated.

In 1994 the communities Bärenklause-Kautzsch and Sobrigau were incorporated and Kreischa became part of the newly formed Weißeritzkreis . In 2001 the evangelical parish of Kreischa was integrated into the parish of Possendorf-Kreischa. In 2008 the municipality of Kreischa became part of the newly formed district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Split by green and gold; in the right field on a corrugated shield base divided three times by silver and blue, a silver fan emerging from the split; in the left field a black right pole flank, ending in the form of a left upper stand, on the left accompanied by a black poplar leaf. "

Justification for the coat of arms: The water (wave shield foot) represents the fish-rich and landscape- defining Lockwitz , the source (fan) the "sleeping well", the water of which is said to have healing properties. The Babisnau poplar , a German black poplar (there are only two genetically pure black poplars in the Dresden area), which was planted as a border tree in 1808 , is visible far beyond the town limits of Kreischa . The felling of the poplar was prevented in 1884 by the purchase of the mountain association. In 1937 it was placed under nature protection. The representation of the tree (as a drawbar) goes back to a kabbalistic, old Germanic and astrological basic meaning. This is based on the coat of arms of the von Carlowitz (manorial estate owners and noble family), whose colors are black on a silver background. The colors black and gold stand for the proximity to Dresden and green and silver reflect the colors of Saxony.

Several architectural elements point to a Romanesque era. The Romanesque character was changed through a series of renovations. The octagonal tower top with a tail gives the sacred building a baroque look.
