Noes (until 1936 at times Noës , 1936–1947 Bleichenau ) is a district of the small town of Rothenburg / OL in Upper Lusatia. The town, which was laid out as a street village, has merged with the urban area over time and has no local status.
geography
Noes is located directly north of the actual urban area on the state road 127, about one kilometer west of the Lusatian Neisse and the German- Polish border.
To the west of Noes is the district of Dunkelhäuser, to the northwest is the town of Bremenhain and the Rothenburg airport , and to the north is the town of Lodenau .
history
Noes was first mentioned in 1372 in a Görlitz court book in the form of Naws . The development of the place is closely linked to the city of Rothenburg, for example the manor belonged to the Rothenburg rulership, apart from brief interruptions.
In 1691, the dark houses Vorwerk was laid out west of Noes on Hutgraben and in 1707 two cottagers were settled. Later the settlement belonged partly to Noes, Rothenburg and Uhsmannsdorf .
The Napoleonic wars brought great burdens in 1813, the damage of which was estimated at 6,278 thalers. Since Saxony fought on the French side, it had to cede the north-eastern part of Upper Lusatia to Prussia in 1815. As a result, Noes was incorporated into the newly formed district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) .
The school, founded in 1814, was given a new building in 1903.
The place name of Slavic origin was replaced by the Germanized name Bleichenau in 1936 . It was named after a bleaching facility that was created by the merchant Gottfried Schneider and operated until the middle of the 19th century. The official renaming took place in 1947.
On January 1, 1973 Noes was incorporated into Rothenburg. Due to the gradual merging of the two places, Noes is now often no longer perceived as a district and accordingly has no local status .

When the country was examinated in 1647, 16 farmers and 13 gardeners were counted in Noes. Of these, three farm estates and two garden food were desolate. In 1777, 14 years after the end of the Seven Years War , an economy lay in desolation. The remaining farms were run by 13 possessed men , 13 gardeners, and 15 cottagers .
The population increased rapidly in the 19th century. In 1825 there were 464 inhabitants, in 1871 there were 769 inhabitants. After that there was a slight decrease, but this was compensated for in the period between the two world wars. After the end of the Second World War, around 900 people lived in the village, and their number continued to increase. Since it was incorporated into Rothenburg, there has been a sharp decline in population.
Place name
Noes is interpreted as the short form of the Sorbian Nowa Wjes for 'Neu (n) dorf, Neues Dorf'. This would make Noes a village that was newly created next to the older town of Rothenburg. The early spellings often change: 1390 Newis, 1396 Nays, 1400 Nawis, 1404 Nauwis. At the end of the 19th century, the spelling of Noës prevailed, with which the trema prevented a pronunciation as Nös and rather the long pronunciation as Nohs should be emphasized.
As a result of National Socialist policies, which resulted in the renaming of many place names of Slavic origin in the second half of the 1930s, the place was called Bleichenau from 1936 to 1947 . After the renaming, the spelling with ë was dispensed with.
Personalities
The musician, composer and publisher Johann Brussig was born in Noes on October 27, 1867 († February 23, 1946 in Rothenburg / Oberlausitz).
