history
Bertilsdorf was first mentioned in writing in 1312 as the property of Heinrich von Leipa . The village was probably named after a locator named Bertold. With the strengthening of the city of Zittau , several farms were gradually acquired by wealthy Zittau citizens. In 1412 the Oybiner Cölestiner acquired eleven estates in the village from Zittau property. In the course of these purchases, the place was first referred to as Ober Herwigsdorff or Herwigsdorf called Bertellsdorf . In 1501 the Oybin monastery bought the remaining Oberherwigsdorf goods from the Zittauers. In 1523 the monastery created a Schöppenbuch for Oberherwigsdorf. In 1574, the city of Zittau acquired its lands in the course of the abolition of the Oybin monastery. After that, Oberherwigsdorf always remained a Zittau council village. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Zittau council settled in the place in favor of its linen trade, linen weavers and flax spinners. As a result, the settlement in the valley intensified, in addition to the old farms, a large number of cottages were built, which were built with half-timbered houses.
In 1735 Oberherwigsdorf consisted of 111 houses, including 21 farmers, seven gardeners and 80 cottagers. The main sources of income were agriculture and cattle breeding, as well as linen weaving. In addition, several canvas collectors lived in the village . The parish was Mittelherwigsdorf. For a long time the children were taught there, and since 1736 there is evidence of their own school in Oberherwigsdorf. In 1814 almost half of the population worked as weavers and spinners. In 1893 a new school building was completed. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the farmers moved drainage into the fields because of the risk of waterlogging of the heavily clayey loess loam soils. In 1908, the Herwigsdorf water pipeline cooperative set up an elevated tank for the water supply to Mittel- and Oberherwigsdorf. To the east of the village, the city of Zittau built seven drinking water wells, elevated tanks and water collectors for the city's water supply on the Bornwiese in the Riestenaue.
In 1958, the municipality of Oberherwigsdorf decided to develop the tuft of sand as a local recreation center and leased the one and a half hectare site west of the village. The inauguration took place on October 7, 1959 as part of the first official sand cluster festival. Since then, the sand cluster festivals have been the cultural highlights in the town. In 1974 Oberherwigsdorf was incorporated into Mittelherwigsdorf. After the merger of Mittelherwigsdorf with Oberseifersdorf and Eckartsberg to one large municipality, Oberherwigsdorf was deleted as a district on March 1, 1994.

Townscape
Oberherwigsdorf was created as a forest hoof village. The fields and meadows of the row village, whose settlement structure merges seamlessly to the south to Mittelherwigsdorf, stretch up to two kilometers to the north and east. The demarcation consists almost entirely of arable and meadow areas. The forest area only takes up a share of less than 10%; The largest part of this is accounted for by the Kohlige in the far north of the town hall, which is not agriculturally usable because of its wet soils. There are other small pieces of forest on the horse mountain and in the tufts of sand.
Due to the lack of industrial settlements, the rural structure with farms and a large number of half-timbered houses is very well preserved.
