history

General

The Sorbian town was first mentioned in 1286 as a Bosetendorf . The street village and the district of the manor developed into a large settlement area.

After 1850, coal mining came to Possendorf and the place became a workers' community.

The manor Possendorf, which has been mentioned since the 15th century, belongs to the Rabenau lordship . It was located opposite the church on today's parking lot for the festival meadow, which included an estate of 119.9 hectares. In 1945 it was expropriated and demolished on the orders of the SMAD . In 1569 it belongs to the Dippoldiswalde office , in 1716 the owner Carl Gottlob von Leubnitz is mentioned, in 1784 Christian Liebfried Richter, who both owned the estate at Obernaundorf. The owner was named Hellmut Otto in 1859, Wilhelm Fehrmann in 1868 and Werner Biermann in 1925. In 1691, the manor owner of Possendorf and Kleincarsdorf had the Possendorf windmill built. The castle with the castle garden and several outbuildings belonged to the manor.

The station was built in 1908 after the Windbergbahn expanded its route from the former terminus in Hänichen to Possendorf to a total length of 1.1 kilometers. On November 9, 1957, the last train on the railway returned to Dresden . Today the route can be hiked.

The church is first mentioned in 1198. With a height of 57 meters, the steeple is the largest in the former Weißeritzkreis . It was built from 1584 to 1838. The clock from 1884 comes from Glashütte . The interior of the church is decorated with cross vaults , the organ from 1881, the boxes and the colored windows from 1896. The interior of the church was completely renovated in 2010/11. The chancel was given a third window, designed by the painter Christoph Wetzel.

Possendorf has been the administrative headquarters of Bannewitz since January 1, 1999, when the then independent communities merged.
