history

A document from 1345 mentions "the vineyards vmb den Sparo". This is the oldest known name of "Spaar", but not as a place name, but as a field name. From the 14th to the 16th century, other mentions are documented, including “vf dem Sparsperge”, “das holcz Sparaw”, “holcz in der Sporaw”, “die Sparwiesen” and “am Spaar”. In 1696, the name “Spaar” also appears as a place name. As early as 1724, a distinction was made between low and high pairs; the difference does not come from the altitude in the Spaar Mountains, but from the location along the Elbe. The place name is probably of German origin. On the one hand, a derivation from the Middle High German "spore", which means spur and characterizes the striking shape of the mountain, comes into question . The Middle High German "spör" / "sper" offers a second possibility of interpretation. It stands for "hard before drought, rough" and also applies to the granite mountain range. A derivation from Old Sorbian * spar, which in neighboring Slavic languages generally refers to swampy places or waters, can not be completely ruled out .

The village of Oberspaar , which has always been part of the parish of Cölln, consists of rows of houses that stretch over 132 hectares of fragmented parcel corridors. The inhabitants of the place, which was always significantly larger than the neighboring lower couple, mainly operated viticulture . The oldest, still existing buildings in the place date from the early 17th century, including the "Bauernhäusl". The landlord was exercised by the owners of the nearby Siebeneichen manor , but there were also other rulership rights. The administration of the place was incumbent on the Meissen Hereditary Authority . In 1856 senior couple belonged to the Meißen court office and then came to the Meißen district administration , from which the district of the same name emerged. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , the upper couple achieved their independence as a rural community . While Niederspaar came to Meißen in 1908, Oberspaar initially remained independent and was referred to as a vineyard community. On January 1, 1912, Oberspaar was finally incorporated into Meißen together with the neighboring town of Zaschendorf and has since formed a district.
