history

Oberleutersdorf Castle I, Siedlungsweg 2

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 were eliminated from the Zittau court order 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 .

When Upper Lusatia was handed over after the Peace of Prague , Oberleutersdorf came to the Electorate of Saxony in 1635 , while Niederleutersdorf remained as an exclave to the Kingdom of Bohemia . Since 1638 the Oberleutersdorf estate was a manor. In 1727 Oberleutersdorf was raised to a market town.

1735 fallen into Geldnot owner informed the manor Oberleutersdorf in the goods Oberleutersdorf I , Oberleutersdorf II, III Oberleutersdorf, wherein the goods II and III collectively a Grange managed , and the Vorwerk Mittelleutersdorf . He only kept one of the three Oberleutersdorf estates. Three small political communities emerged from the three Oberleutersdorfer estates, and their owners were wealthy local traders. As a result of the expansion of the estate, only a few peasants were available to the estates, so that the lordship built properties on the outskirts for the court people. This is how the three houses (also field houses) , the Lehnbusch houses and around 1750 the “Staadtel” at the exit to Neuwalde . Before 1791, the owner of the Oberleutersdorf II estate had the village of Hetzwalde laid out on his corridors .

In 1800, the band of robbers of the Prague Hansel operating from the Bohemian Neuwalde committed a burglary from the owner of the Oberleutersdorf I estate, the linen dealer Glathe. Lost booty led to the Kreibichschenke, where the gang could be dug up.

In the middle of the 19th century, the three Oberleutersdorfer communities and Hetzwalde united to form a political community. In 1870, Mittelleutersdorf and Neue Sorge joined Oberleutersdorf. In 1907 the communities Niederleutersdorf, Oberleutersdorf and Josephsdorf merged to form the rural community of Leutersdorf. The “Grüner Weg” settlement was built near the field houses in 1926 , and later further settlement houses were added on the way to Heinrichshöhe.

church

There is evidence of a church in Leutersdorf since 1448. It was a branch church of the parish of Spitzkunnersdorf until 1576 and then of the parish of Eibau until 1662 . It was then raised to the status of a parish church, and its district included Oberleutersdorf as well as the mostly Protestant residents of the Bohemian exclave Niederleutersdorf. In 1690 the church was renewed. The old Oberleutersdorf church stood south of the manor, later Gut Oberleutersdorf I, directly on the Bohemian border, which stretched three cubits south of the main door and also surrounded the church in the east. In the course of the construction of the new Christ Church in Mittelleutersdorf, the old church was demolished in 1865.
