history

Lutgersdorf , located on the border between the Archdiocese of Prague and the Diocese of Meißen , was first mentioned in 1347. It is assumed that the village belonged to the Upper Lusatian estates of the Lords of Bieberstein at Friedland Castle , who left the Zittau court soft picture in 1310. Since 1416, the entire village was demonstrably under the suzerainty of the Friedland lordship. In the middle of the 15th century Leutersdorf was divided into two estates - Oberleutersdorf and Niederleutersdorf.

Before 1518 Heinrich von Schleinitz acquired the Niederleutersdorf estate on Tollenstein . His descendants sold Niederleutersdorf in 1576 to the Zittau merchant and city judge Joachim von Milde. Niederleutersdorf shared between Milde's grandson Stephan and Georg von Wicke. With the death of Stephan von Wicke, his share fell back as a settled fief to the Bohemian Chamber. The owner of the Feste and Meierhof Niederleutersdorf, Georg von Wicke, died in 1631 at the Magdeburg wedding in the fight against the imperial troops. Von Wickes property was confiscated by Albrecht von Waldstein . After Waldstein's murder, his lordships were drafted in 1634 by Emperor Ferdinand II .

When Upper Lusatia was handed over to the Electorate of Saxony after the Peace of Prague in 1635, Gut Niederleutersdorf belonged to the possession of the Bohemian king and was therefore not considered part of Upper Lusatia. Niederleutersdorf remained as an exclave in the Kingdom of Bohemia . The exclave extended in a west-east direction from the Neugersdorfer Wald near Neuwalde to the Richterberg (near Neue Sorge ), north to the old Oberleutersdorfer church ⊙ and south to the Seifenteich .

1636 left King Ferdinand III. both shares of the Niederleutersdorf estate to the Jesuit college in Jitschin , which sold them in 1637 to the new owner of the Rumburg estate, Johann Christoph Liebel von Grünberg. As the marriage property of Liebel's only daughter, Rumburg including Niederleutersdorf passed to Franz Eusebius von Pötting and Persing . In 1681 his heir Johann Sebastian von Pötting and Persing sold the rule to Anton Florian von Liechtenstein .

Before 1706 Josephsdorf was founded on the guard of the Meierhof . In 1718, Prince Wenzel von Liechtenstein raised the Rumburg rule to the family affide of the Princely House of Liechtenstein . In 1777 the Meierhof Niederleutersdorf burned down. Prince Franz Josef I then dissolved the Niederleutersdorf Vorwerk and had its corridors parceled out, which resulted in Neuleutersdorf . The soap pond broke in 1803 and was not dammed again.

In 1830 "Nieder-Leitersdorf" consisted of 100 houses. There was an evangelical school, a mill and a kk commercial goods stamp office in the village. The mill pond in the center of the village was used for carp breeding. There was a post mill (Klingermühle) on the Windmühlenberg. The residents of Niederleutersdorf were Protestant and parish to Oberleutersdorf in Saxony.

After the establishment of the German Customs Union , the pascherei in Leutersdorf took on enormous proportions; almost all residents occasionally smuggled across the unmanageable border, and a large part of them ran the fancy dress business. Due to the main Gränz and Territorial Recess between the Kingdom of Saxony and the Austrian Empire on March 5, 1848, the Bohemian exclave Leutersdorf with the four communities Niederleutersdorf, Neuleutersdorf, Josephsdorf and Neuwalde came to Saxony on March 12, 1849. Neuwalde then joined Niederleutersdorf. In 1907 the communities of Josephsdorf, Niederleutersdorf and Oberleutersdorf were merged to form the rural community of Leutersdorf. The mill pond was drained in the first half of the 20th century.
