Ottendorf has 413 inhabitants (as of 2011) and is located in the right Elbe part of Saxon Switzerland on the plateau between the rivers Sebnitz in the north and Kirnitzsch in the south. The place, which is characterized by half - timbered houses and half - timbered houses , is located in the center of a cleared area that is almost completely surrounded by wooded slopes and is only open to the north. The highest point in the immediate vicinity of the village is the 367 meter high Endlerkuppe, which is located immediately south of Ottendorf. From the lookout point on the Großstein on the edge of the Kirnitzschtal, known as the “Pulpit of Upper Saxon Switzerland”, there is a panoramic view over the nearby Kuhstall area to the Affensteinen and the Großer Winterberg .
The Dorfbachgrund, which runs east of it, also belongs to Ottendorf, in which the locations Lochräumicht and Ottendorfer Räumicht are located. To the east of this area, the Ottendorf district extends, including the Kuhschlueche, Städelschlueche, Arnstein Castle and the Goldbachgrund to the Kleinstein Cave , where the neighboring Saupsdorf district to the east borders. To the north is Hertigswalde. In the west, along the edge of the valley to the Knechtsbachgrund, another Sebnitz district borders with Lichtenhain .
South of the Kirnitzsch lies the somewhat larger part of the Ottendorf district, which is part of the Saxon Switzerland National Park , and in some cases even belongs to its core zone. This completely wooded area extends between the Kirnitzschtal in the north and east, where Hinterhermsdorf borders, the border with the Czech Republic in the south and the Great Zschand in the West, a six-kilometer-long dry valley that the border Schandauer the corridor of the west adjoining bathroom hamlet Ostrau forms . In this southern area, which still belongs to Ottendorf, there are also the armory , the Thorwald and, in the Thorwald walls, the Hickel Cave, the second largest cave in Saxon Switzerland. A dominant elevation in the area is the Raumberg . Close to the border with the Czech Republic in the extreme southeast of the corridor, the lynx stone from 1743 is a reminder of the last lynx documented to have been hunted in Saxon Switzerland. The altar stone is another important memorial stone in its vicinity. One of the few clearings in the area south of the Kirnitzsch is Buschmüller's room not far southeast of the Buschmühle . There is the Jentschdörfel desert, first mentioned in 1543.
history
Buschm%C3%BChle_(04-1).jpg)
The place name is, just like the names of most places in the area, not of Slavic but of German origin. It consists of two components, a variant of the first name " Otto " and "Dorf", which can probably be traced back to the local locator . The village was first mentioned in 1446 under the name "Othendorff" as part of the Wildenstein lordship, which is owned by the Berken von der Duba resident at Burg Wildenstein . When it came to Saxony on April 8, 1451, the place was called "Ottindorf". Since Ottendorf is a frequently occurring place name in Saxony, additions were necessary. In order to be able to distinguish the place from the eponymous part of today's Bahretal , 30 kilometers further west , which is also in the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains, it was called "Ottendorf bey Schandau, also called Hinter-Ottendorf" in 1791 and in 1875 "Ottendorf b. Sebnitz (Hinterottendorf) ". As with the neighboring Hinterhermsdorf, the addition “Hinter-” refers to the location in the Upper Saxon Switzerland. Because the designation of German landscapes as "Switzerland" was officially frowned upon during the Nazi era, the official addition "Saxon Switzerland" was added to the municipal names of Ottendorf and seven other municipalities in the region by "Amtshauptmannschaft Pirna" with effect from October 19, 1938 or from January 1939 "Kreis Pirna" replaced.
Ottendorf emerged as a Waldhufendorf in the course of the German East Settlement . As an official village, with its almost ten Hufen- sized Waldhufenflur, it was directly subordinate to the Hohnstein Office from the 16th to the 19th century in terms of manorial, hereditary and administrative matters. The residents were also liable to pay interest to a local liege judge. Ottendorf was and is parish to Sebnitz. On the basis of the rural community code of 1838 , Ottendorf gained independence as a rural community, the administration of which was incumbent on the Sebnitz court office in 1856. Ottendorf was part of the Pirna administration in 1875 , and in 1900 the size of the parish corridor was around 547 hectares. It was mainly used for agriculture. This happened on the one hand in the immediate vicinity of the place itself and on the other hand in somewhat more remote areas. These mountain pastures, the local form of the Alm , included the Lochräumicht, the Ottendorfer Räumicht and Buschmüller's Räumicht.
There were also several old mills in the Ottendorfer area. Elias Hesse (born November 13, 1657 in Ottendorf), a 17th century German traveler to Asia, who wrote a report on his trip to Southeast Asia, grew up in the Pietzschmühle in Dorfbachgrund near Lochräumicht, which was expanded into a sawmill from 1919 onwards, but was originally built as a grain mill (East India) left behind. The Neumannmühle an der Kirnitzsch was first mentioned in 1576 and has been open to the public as a technical monument and exhibition facility since 1996. The Buschmühle , a little further upstream, was the last mill in the Kirnitzsch Valley and served as a grinding mill until 1992, and since then it has been a restaurant and hikers' hostel.
Organ builder Christian Gottfried Herbrig lived in Ottendorf from 1816 to 1828 . The Ottendorf volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1898 and the local allotment garden association was founded in 1913. In 1928/29, a large youth home was built on the Endlerkuppe according to plans by Kurt Bänke . From 1933 it served the Bund Deutscher Mädel as a warehouse, after 1946 the SED as a state school and later as the district party school " Fritz Heckert ". The building has been empty since 1990 and is falling into disrepair.
In 1994 Ottendorf, which had been part of the Sebnitz district since 1952 , merged with Lichtenhain and Saupsdorf to form the Kirnitzschtal community . In the same year the district of Sebnitz was merged into the district of Saxon Switzerland and in 2008 the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains. Ottendorf has belonged to the large district town of Sebnitz as part of Kirnitzschtal since October 1, 2012 . One of the most important sources of income for the residents is tourism. There are several guest houses in the village, namely the inn "Zum Kirnitzschtal" and the "Ottendorfer Hütte", as well as several holiday apartments. In 2007 Ottendorf took first place in the Saxon Switzerland district of the Saxon State Ministry for Environment and Agriculture in the competition Our Village Has Future .
traffic
The most important street in town is the district road 8738, which runs from Hertigswalde through Ottendorf into the Kirnitzschtal. There it meets the state road 165 (Kirnitzschtalstraße) leading from Bad Schandau to Sebnitz . To the public transport Ottendorf is via the bus line 269 of the regional transport Saxon Switzerland & Eastern Ore Mountains tethered. Several long-distance hiking trails lead through the Ottendorfer Flur, including the Malerweg , Lausitzer Schlange and Panoramaweg.
