history
The name Plodda comes from Old Slavonic and means "blato" = forest swamp. Around the year 600 Slavic ethnic groups settled in the region. The place name appears in a document in 1388, later in 1586 and 1607 on a map of Saxony.
The Slavic weaving village of Krassin was once located in the area around the "Krassinwiesen". This village with only a few inhabitants soon disappeared into the darkness of history. Likewise, Plodda became desolate and deserted between 1466 and 1493. It is likely that the plague, which was raging in the region at that time, wiped out the people. Resettlement did not take place until the 17th century. The few families who settled here again lived mainly from agriculture. In the Thirty Years' War Plodda was completely destroyed.
