geography
Obertorvorstadt got its name from its location in front of the Obertor, which was razed in the 19th century , part of the city wall around the old town of Pirna . The Obertor stood at today's Tischerplatz and was the passage through the Upper Burgstrasse. Since the road led from there in the direction of Königstein (Saxon Switzerland) , the Obertor was sometimes also called the “Steynisches Tor”.
The area around Bergstraße and Braustraße belonged to the Obertorvorstadt, which lay in the soft area of the town of Pirna. To the east of Obertorvorstadt is the steep ascent to Sonnenstein Castle . The stairs and the office stairs lead up to the former local mountain community to the east , located on the street Am Hausberg. Neighboring to the west is the Dohnaische Vorstadt . The southern suburb joins in the south .
history
In 1359 a document says: “Nickell v. Gerhartsdorff and Andres v. Globick, castle people at Pirn - keep to castle lean - half way up, house, barn, Vorwerg in the city of Pirn at the Steynian gate ”. Around 1550 the tailoring shop was located in the suburb in front of the Obertor. During this time there were a total of 60 residents in the suburbs in front of the Ober- and Dohnaischer Tor. In 1578 the city of Pirna relocated its place of execution from the market in front of the Obertor and had a gallows erected there. This was torn down again in 1587 and rebuilt a little further out of town on Sandgasse (lower part of today's Schandauer Strasse), where the execution site still existed in the 17th century.
In the last years of the 16th century, the market master of the Pirna weekly market lived in Obertor. On September 5, 1758, Austrian troops bombarded the city during the Seven Years' War . 19 houses in the suburbs in front of the Obertor caught fire, including the “Zur Tanne” inn. The upper gate was demolished in 1826 as part of the razing of the fortress that had begun ten years earlier. In the 18th and 19th centuries, at the southern end of the suburb, was the Gasthaus Loop, which got its name from its location on the serpentine at the time at the transition between Bergstrasse and Am Hausberg.
