history

After the Bautzen Cathedral Monastery became the owner of both farms in the Bohemian exclave Schirgiswalde in 1703, it made the Oberhof the new manor. From 1730, the monastery had the corridors of the Niederhof parceled out and only kept the forest to itself. In 1738 a 21 hectare settlement with 14 smallholders was built on the corridors of a Vorwerk belonging to the Niederhof along the Kaltbach, which formed the southern exclave border. The village was named after the titular saint of the monastery, Peter . On the road that connected the exclave to the Bohemian inland via the scattered settlement of Sohland, which belongs to Upper Lusatia , there was a well-frequented rest house called the Bohemian tavern .

After the Austrian Empire had declared its renunciation of the Bohemian enclaves in the Kingdom of Saxony in the Peace of Schönbrunn in 1809 , the handover of the city of Schirgiswalde with the associated villages Neuschirgiswalde and Petersbach to Saxony was delayed for a long time. Between 1836 and 1839 the Schirgiswald council had the forest workers' settlement Kapellenberg (today Kieferberg) built north of Petersbach between the Chaussee leading to Bohemia and the Spree. During the 36-year phase of an independent city-state, the pageantry flourished; robbers, political refugees and deserters found refuge in the enclave. These and other grievances led to the handover negotiations commencing on July 1, 1845, and the enclave being passed to Saxony on July 4, 1845. In 1851 Petersbach broke away from Schirgiswalde and formed its own community. Between 1875 and 1877 the Sohland – Wilthen railway was built, which crossed the Kaltbachtal on a 40 m long bridge and cut Petersbach west of the Böhmische Schenke . In 1933 Petersbach was incorporated back into Schirgiswalde. Since January 1st 2011 Petersbach belongs to the city of Schirgiswalde-Kirschau .

Townscape

The Häuslerzeile stretching on the left over the Kaltbach to the Spree is intersected today by the railway and state road. Several half-timbered houses have been preserved in Petersbach .

The best known is the Petersbach Inn, the former "Bohemian tavern". The building, newly constructed in 1828, bears the initials BM in its keystone slab after its owner at the time, Bernhard Mildner. On the house with supporting pillars around the wooden room and the upper floor there is a roof turret as a bell tower.

The house at Sohlander Strasse No. 71 has columns with a teardrop edge called "Sunday" by the Upper Lusatian carpenters. The upper floor cladding was decorated with arched friezes.

House Petersbach No. 2, located between Petersbacher Dorfstraße and the corner of the railway, is a building with a simple surrounding structure, a boarded upper floor with a wooden gallery and a tiled roof with a pike. It is about to collapse today.
