geography

Oberpoyritz on the slope of the Borsberg

Oberpoyritz is located on the outskirts, 12 km east-southeast of Dresden city center, the inner old town , and directly south of the slopes of the Elbe, which slowly taper to the east . The largest part of the corridor area lies in the Elbe valley , including the town center. This is still called the village square and has been partially preserved. It is located at an altitude of about 120  m above sea level. NN at the Graupaer Bach , which flows into the Elbe , which runs a good 1 km further west . The top of the 361 m high Borsberg is about 1 km north of the district . Together with the neighboring district of the same name from Schönfeld-Weißig, this is already part of the Schönfeld highlands ; on its slopes, immediately north of Oberpoyritz, is the 107 hectare nature reserve Borsberghang and Friedrichsgrund , which is bordered in the east by the Tiefen Grund , which also marks the city limits. In the village square there is also a pedunculate oak that has been designated as a natural monument ND 85 .

The Oberpoyritz district is enclosed in the south, west and north by corridors belonging to Pillnitz . Together with this and other districts, Oberpoyritz belongs to the statistical district of Hosterwitz / Pillnitz . Neighboring to the east is Kleingraupa, a part of the village of Graupa in Pirna . Oberpoyritz has largely been able to retain its village-rural character to this day, although in the course of the 20th century a number of smaller and loosely built house settlements emerged on the village corridor. The south of the district is already determined by the Tännicht , a small forest stretching as far as Birkwitz and Copitz . The extensive fruit plantations in the immediate vicinity and the vineyards of the large Elbe Valley area , which is part of the Saxony wine-growing region , also characterize the site , including the conical Rysselkuppe , from which there is a view of Saxon Switzerland . They were created due to the very good climate and soil conditions.

The most important street in Oberpoyritz is Lohmener Straße, which comes from Loschwitz as Staatsstraße 167 and crosses the district via Graupa in the direction of Pirna. Oberpoyritzer Straße runs from the old village center in the direction of Söbrigen ; Graupaer Straße connects the district via Graupa with Bonnewitz . There are another seven named streets in the district area. There is a connection with Pillnitz and Graupa or Bonnewitz via the bus line 83 of the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe , the only public transport in Oberpoyritz. The Saxon Wine Trail runs on the slopes above Oberpoyritz , and the tourist trail is a historic hiking route through Saxon Switzerland via Oberpoyritz.

history

The area around Oberpoyritz was already settled in the Bronze Age . Remains of a larger settlement from this time, such as stoves and ceramics, were found around 1900 on the road to Graupa.

The village of Oberpoyritz was first mentioned in 1378 as Padegricz . This name comes from Sorbian and can be translated as village under the mountain (see Podgorica ), which refers to the location of the place at the foot of the Elbe slopes and the Borsberg. Oberpoyritz is a Slavic round with a corridor . As early as the 15th century , the place name was guaranteed in a variety of forms. Called Poyericz , Podegricze , Pogeritz and Poydegritz . Mentioned as Poyeritz in 1541, the place name was prefixed with the addition of Ober since the middle of the 16th century . This had become necessary, the time when, after a long period suddenly km because of possible confusion with only 3 to the northwest and down the Elbe village of the same name deserted village had been repopulated and today Niederpoyritz is. Since the latter place was also called Kratza at the same time, the distinction between Oberpoyritz and Niederpoyritz is not entirely understandable. So Oberpoyritz is mentioned in 1588 as Ober Poyericz , but again only as Poberiz in 1604 . In 1875, the spelling Oberboyritz can be found next to the current form of the name .

Up until the early 15th century, Oberpoyritz belonged to the Burgraves of Dohna , and around 1410 it was owned by the von Köckritz family who sat at Wehlen Castle . From the Oberpoyritz neighboring town of Cloden , which is described as desolate in 1438, some corridors were incorporated into Oberpoyritz. In 1463 it was under Bodo von Carlowitz and in 1535 Kaspar von Ziegler . From 1569 the owners of the neighboring manor Pillnitz exercised the manorial rule . Initially, this was Christoph von Loß the Elder , electoral court advisor and thigh. Since then, Oberpoyritz has been closely linked to Pillnitz and, like Söbrigen, lost some parts of its corridor to the estate. In the place of the originally practiced arable farming, viticulture and even later fruit growing came more and more. A grape depicted in the old municipal seal reminds of the long formative viticulture . The Zeidlerei was also operated.

The administration fell under the responsibility of the office or the administrative authority of Dresden . Until 1539 Oberpoyritz was parish after Dohna , after that it was in the parish of Hosterwitz ( Maria am Wasser ). After the death of Sophie Sibylle, the granddaughter of Christoph von Loß the Younger , Oberpoyritz went to Günther von Bünau (1604-1659), with whom she had been married since 1636, together with Hosterwitz, Pappritz and Krieschendorf on April 17, 1643 . After more than 50 years belonging to the Bünausch estates, Elector Johann Georg IV. Exchanged Pillnitz and thus Oberpoyritz on January 31, 1694 for Lichtenwalde and 20,000 guilders. He died a few months later.

In the early 18th century, the village experienced a slight upswing due to its proximity to Pillnitz Castle , which at that time under August the Strong , brother and successor of Johann Georg IV, was expanded and converted into his summer residence in baroque style and then became one of the focal points the absolutist court of the Wettins . The elector also bought a vineyard in 1721, which contributed to supplying the castle. The Oberpoyritzer also had to do security duty in Pillnitz Castle. From 1765, parts of the now full-time castle guard were also living in Oberpoyritz. In 1818 Johann Gottlob Ryssel was the owner of the vineyard on the border with Pillnitz. The names Rysselkuppe and Rysselscher Weinberg still remind of his family, who have lived in the region since the 17th century . Until 1844 were Frondienste be made to the Pillnitzer landowner or pay. The smith's tavern had been licensed since 1854 .

On July 1, 1950, Oberpoyritz was incorporated into Dresden together with other surrounding towns and has since formed a district of the state capital. The former village pond has now been filled. In the district there was a volunteer fire brigade , the tradition of which went back to 1846, as well as the sports field of SV Pillnitz , until it was merged with the Pillnitz district fire brigade in 2006 . Between 1978 and 2001 there was a drinking water protection area in Oberpoyritz.
