history

Okrilla is a Slavic word and means "round village". Round villages were typical of Slavic villages. Okrilla is therefore much older than Ottendorf, which was founded after 1200. The place name Ottendorf is a combination of the personal name Otto and village.

Ottendorf was first mentioned in a diocese article in 1346 under Margrave Friedrich II (the Serious) .

In 1846, today's Radeberger Strasse in Ottendorf-Okrilla was expanded as a permanent road. This road was an important trade route. Glass was transported from Bohemia to Prussia on the “Bohemian Glass Road” . At the same time, this was also an important "salt road" through which the salt was transported from Halle to Bohemia and Silesia . In 1849 a flour mill was built between Cunnersdorf and Medingen . Bread was also baked and sold here.

The first glassworks was opened in 1865 . The glassworks was located on Königsbrücker Strasse, across from today's restaurant "Zum Goldenen Ring". Other glass works in the area were the Brockwitz glassworks (founded in 1898) and the Grohmann glass refinery (founded in 1893), all of which no longer exist today. A sawmill was also opened in 1865 . The steam cutting mill processed the wood from the Laußnitzer Heide .

Since October 1884 the railway has been running on the spot. A narrow-gauge railway connected Königsbrück with Dresden-Klotzsche and ran via Ottendorf-Okrilla. In 1897 the narrow-gauge railway was converted into a standard-gauge line. This was an important location advantage for the industrialization of the place. In 1885 799 tons of goods were transported. In the following years, the transport of goods increased enormously. In 1865 the first cabinet maker was founded. The possibility of obtaining the wood inexpensively on site led to the creation of further furniture workshops in the area. The first hard coal works went into operation in 1909. This made it possible for the first time to install public street lighting.

In the period before the First World War , there was a great economic boom. Ottendorf-Okrilla became an industrial and workers' residential community. During the war, however, all available resources were invested in warfare. Private housing construction stagnated and in 1920 there was an extreme housing shortage, which is why new houses were built on the new street "Siedlung". The Pulnitz power station has been supplying the town with electricity since 1922. From 1926 gravel was mined commercially . From 1927 the construction of a central drinking water supply began.

After slumps caused by the global economic crisis , the economic situation improved from 1933.

At the beginning of the Nazi era , there were serious attacks in March 1933. SA men set up a stake in front of the “Zum schwarzen Roß” inn and tortured opponents of the regime who had been arrested there. They abuse the handicapped communist Josef Hannemann particularly brutally. During the GDR era, a memorial plaque for him was placed on the house at Radeberger Strasse 12. The building used as a cultural center also bore his name until it was demolished after 1990 due to increasing structural deterioration.

After the end of the Second World War , some Russian soldiers were billeted.

In the time of the GDR the place became more and more an industrial location. In addition to the glassworks, the gravel pit, the timber trade and the charcoal burning, new companies were added, for example plastics processing. The German reunification brought a structural change with it. Many companies had to close after reunification , so u. a. also the glass factory, the furniture factory and a little later the concrete factory. Some businesses (including plastic processing) were sold and at least partially survived privatization by the Treuhandanstalt.

In 1991 the Ottendorf-Okrilla industrial park was built, which significantly changed the appearance of the community. In addition, new living space was built.

Incorporations

On October 24, 1911, the municipalities of Ottendorf b. Medingen and Moritzdorf to Ottendorf-Moritzdorf. In 1920 Cunnersdorf b. Medingen was incorporated into the Ottendorf-Moritzdorf community, followed exactly one year later by Kleinokrilla . Ultimately, on July 1, 1921, Großokrilla was incorporated and the new community was renamed Ottendorf-Okrilla at the same time . At the time of incorporation there were around 4500 inhabitants, and at the census of June 16, 1925, 4753 inhabitants. In the course of the Saxon community area reforms in the 1990s, Grünberg was incorporated on January 1, 1994 and Hermsdorf and Medingen on January 1, 1999, each on the basis of voluntary agreements.
