Peritz is a district of the Saxon community Wülknitz in the district of Meißen . The place was first mentioned in 1266.

geography

Peritz is a typical street green village and was surrounded by a corridor around 1900. The place is located northeast of Riesa and northwest of Großenhain and consists mainly of farmsteads that are designed as three-sided farms . The surrounding places are in the north Koselitz , in the northeast Görzig , in the southeast Colmnitz , in the southwest Radewitz and Marksiedlitz , in the west Streumen . The federal highway 98 runs four kilometers south of Peritz and can be reached via the county road 8512. The place is traversed by the Rietschke brook, which comes from Colmnitz and flows into the Grödel-Elsterwerda raft canal in Streumen .

history

Finds show that people settled in the Peritz area as early as the Stone Age . There were also finds from the Bronze Age in the form of urns and from the early German period around the 10th and 11th centuries. The foundation of the place is attributed to the Slavs, as the place name is of Slavic origin. The meaning of the name is unclear. The first written mention dates back to the year 1266. Further spellings of the place name are Pericz (1352), Berinicz (1409), Peritzsch (1495), Peris (1526), Peretz (1540) and Pebriz in 1695. German settlement began in the 12th century Century.

In 1406 Alisch von Köckeritz was the owner of the village, the pastor was also the innkeeper of the Kretscham . In pre-Reformation times it was often the case that the rural clergy brewed and sold beer. In 1524 von Pflugk was the masters, followed in 1526 by Heinrich von Schleinitz on Saathain . In 1526 the council of Hayn sued the parishes of Lampertswalde and Peritz because they brewed and served more beer than they were entitled to. In 1588 Caspar von Pflugk sold the place to the Elector of Saxony. Old files show that Peritz had its own church as early as 1266. The church was built on a Slavic sanctuary, the walls of which were still visible in the 19th century. The first Protestant pastor was Johannes Hayn from Ortrand in 1555 . The church owned land, of which the pastor had leased three Hufen in 1575 and tilled four Hufen himself. In 1580 a Hans Hauptvogel asked to be allowed to brew and tap beer and wine himself in a new tavern. Towards the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648 the whole village burned down with the exception of the tavern. In 1721 the community decided not to have the grain milled in Bauda , but in Görzig and Zabeltitz . After an objection by the bauda millers, the Peritzers had the grain ground again in Bauda in 1776. In 1834 twelve farms and the parish burned down. The half-timbered construction at that time with a thatched roof favored the spread of the fire. After the fire, the houses were covered with roof tiles. At the beginning of the twentieth century there was a men's choir, a church choir and a gymnastics club in Peritz. The "Oberlehrer-Alfred-Klitsch-Linde" in the school garden was dedicated to the head teacher Alfred Klitsch, who founded the first two associations and also designed the war memorial, but unfortunately it had to be replanted several times. Klitsch wrote and composed pieces for the choral society; on long winter evenings he gave lectures and studied plays. He worked here from 1898 to 1933.

A teacher was mentioned for the first time in 1575; there was no school at that time. Peritz's first full-time teacher was Mattheus Stoll from Großenhain . In 1623 the schoolmaster received a parish hoof for a certain lot of interest. Around 1800 the school buildings included an old house and an old barn. In 1824 a new farm building was added. In 1864 a new school building was built, which was renovated in 1892 and expanded in 1904. In the war years of the Second World War , the teaching was inadequate because the teachers were constantly changing. With the improvement of the school system after the war, the existing rooms were no longer sufficient and the number of children was too few. After Streumen and Wülknitz, the children had to go to school more and more until the Peritz partial high school was closed completely in 1968. The students went to Streumen in the 1st to 4th grades and to Wülknitz in the 5th to 10th grades. After the new Wülknitz school was built in 1975, all of the students went to Wülknitz.

LPG Peritz, planning of sowing 1954

After the territorial reform in 1952 , Peritz was assigned to the Riesa district in the Dresden district . The rural life in the place was based on the principle of agriculture in the GDR . On April 27, 1953 the LPG was "1. Mai “was founded in Peritz. Up until the 1950s, the area between Peritz, Koselitz, Görzig and Colmnitz was one of the last areas of distribution of the great bustard in Saxony. Due to the increasing mechanization and intensification of agriculture, the bustards were disturbed and became extinct in this area. The last birds were sighted near Colmnitz in 1971.

After German reunification , Peritz came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. In 1995, the smallest porcelain factory in Saxony opened in the inn. A new inn was built at the entrance to the village from a converted barn. With the inclusion of the village in the Saxon village development program (1997–2001) and the implementation of a land consolidation procedure, the entire public area was conceptually designed and paths and plantings in the corridor were newly laid out. A village community center was created from the school, and a sports field and a skater track were created for the youth. In 2001 the volunteer fire brigade had to be disbanded at local level because no new fire chief could be found.

The Peritz Church

In the 11th or 12th century, a small church was probably first built on the site of a destroyed pagan cult site. The Meißner diocese register names the church 1495. Before the Reformation Colmnitz was a branch church of Peritz, after the Reformation Wülknitz. The vestibule formerly located on the south side was built in 1710 after the church burned down in 1648. In 1756 the roof turret was built. The interior was repaired in 1845 and 1865. Further renovations took place in 1884 and 1904.

The church is located away from the village, surrounded by a polygonal wall. It consists of a quarter-shaped nave and choir. The vestibule is built on the west side, a sacristy is built in front of the east wall, which replaced the confessional that used to stand here in 1866. The altar table is made of stone. The triumphal arch is designed as a basket arch. There used to be a wooden pulpit with a sound cover. Now the pulpit is above the altar. The walls of the church are tapered towards the top and the floor is made of bricks. The girder carrying the singing choir is profiled and has shuttles. You can still see the mortise of the central pillar, which was removed when the entrance was relocated, as well as the approach of the new gallery on the south side. The octagonal roof turret on the west gable is closed with a tent roof on which a cross sits. There is a colored glass window on both sides of the choir. The three bells bear the inscription “Glory to God in the highest” (large bell) “and peace on earth” (middle bell) “and a pleasure to people”. The positive acquired in 1770 was replaced by a new organ in 1845. In 2000 the parish began extensive construction work on the roof structure. It is planned to renew the roof turret in the future.

regional customs

In Peritz, the custom of pretzel singing is maintained on Sunday Lätare , which used to be common in the entire Grossenhain area . Children go from house to house with decorated sticks on which paper flags are glued, singing and are rewarded with pretzels. This already almost extinct custom was successfully revived after reunification.

memorial

A grove of honor with a stele and benches is located in front of the church in Peritz. It bears the inscription For us died: 1914–1918 out of love and gratitude , the names of nine fallen are listed.

At the foot of the stele is a plaque with the inscription In memory of the citizens of Peritz, the victims of World War II and the post-war period were ajar.
