It is located on the plateau between Lockwitzbach in the west and Müglitz in the east, south of the Elbe valley . Röhrsdorf is located on the Briese, which later becomes the Rietzschke, a left tributary of the Müglitz. Fruit growing shapes the place and its surroundings. Apple trees are particularly common.

history

Röhrsdorf on a map from the 19th century

The place name, which comes from German , is derived from Rüdiger , the first name of a locator , and thus means "village of a Rüdiger". It was first mentioned in 1436 as "Rudigistorff", then a year later as "Rudigerstorff". As early as 1451, the place name was shortened to "Rurßdorff" due to the omission of unstressed syllables. Numerous other spellings appeared up to the early 17th century, including "Ruderstorff", "Rorßdorff" and "Rürßdorf". In 1555 the place was called "Windisch Rurßdorff", which indicates that it may be an old Slavic settlement (derived from " Wenden "). In addition, it was necessary to distinguish between places of the same name at an early stage, as the place name Röhrsdorf is relatively common in the East Central German dialect area - it is found nine times in Saxony alone. The place was called “Kleyn Rursdorf” in 1517, “Röhrsdorf, bey Borthen” in 1791 and “Röhrsdorf b. Pirna ”. Even then, the place was sometimes referred to as “Kleinröhrsdorf” - in contrast to “ Großröhrsdorf b. Pirna ”, today a district of Liebstadt .

Already at the time around the first mentioning there was a Vorwerk of the manor Borthen in Röhrsdorf , to which the place was subordinate in the 16th century. Röhrsdorf emerged as a square village , which was expanded over the centuries through the dismantling of houses . To the north and a little away from the actual location , a large individual estate developed in the late 16th century, the Röhrsdorf manor. Around Röhrsdorf an estate and farmer's block corridor developed , which in 1900 was about 275 hectares in size. Over the centuries, the manor was owned by the Lords of Neitschütz , the Counts of Vitzthum of Eckstädt , the Lords of Wolffersdorf and the Lords of Carlowitz, among others .

Administration had been the responsibility of the Pirna Office since the 16th century , and then the Pirna Court Office in 1856. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Röhrsdorf gained independence as a rural community . This was part of the Pirna administration in 1874 , and Röhrsdorf was part of the Pirna district during the GDR era . On January 1, 1993, the Röhrsdorf community merged with the Borthen and Gorknitz communities; the name of the new community created in this way was also Röhrsdorf. With the incorporation into the city of Dohna on January 1, 1999, the village of Röhrsdorf emerged from the community.

Since 2001 the "Saxon-Bohemian Farmer's Market" has existed in the village on the site of the former farmyard of the castle, a shopping market consisting of various shops in which Saxon goods from local farms as well as Bohemian food or the fruit grown there are sold , a restaurant and an event barn. Many events take place on the site throughout the year, almost all of which are repeated annually, including the Borthen Flower Festival.

Röhrsdorf Castle

Röhrsdorf manor, castle

Members of the von Carlowitz family had Röhrsdorf Castle built on the manor site in the 18th century. In 1771 the park was built in Röhrsdorfer Grund and in 1787 the orangery building in the palace park with the figures "Bacchus" and "Flora" by the Dresden sculptor Johann Gottfried Knöffler (after the demolition of the orangery building in 1970, the figures were erected in 1980 in the park of the Gamig estate ). After a fire in 1890, Röhrsdorf Castle was rebuilt. In the GDR era it served as an agricultural school. After the fall of the Wall , an investor bought the building, converted it into a country hotel, but went bankrupt five years later. From 1994 to 2001 there was a hotel in the Röhrsdorf Castle. It currently serves as the domicile of an artist community.

Röhrsdorf Church

Röhrsdorf Church

The Evangelical Church of Röhrsdorf is in the southern part of the village on the main street. It was a parish church as early as 1500, and from 1539 to 1542 it was a branch church of the Dohnaer Marienkirche . Then it was again a parish church, and a new building was built in 1749. Groß- and Kleinborthen as well as Burgstädtel were and are parish since 1847. The Röhrsdorf Church has been a branch church of the Lockwitz Castle Church since 1932 . Both churches belong to the Protestant parish Lockwitz-Röhrsdorf. To the south of the village, on Friedhofsstraße, lies the Röhrsdorfer Friedhof.

Primselwitz desert

In the Röhrsdorfer Flur lies the Primselwitz desert . The village was located between Röhrsdorf and Wölkau . In 1412, before Röhrsdorf was first mentioned, the village called "Prymselwicz" at that time already had a farm. The place formed a community with Röhrsdorf in 1547. Other spellings commonly used in documents were “Primssewicz”, “Princzelwicz”, “Prynczig”, “Prinstitz”, “Princiwicz” and “Primczlicz”. The place became part of Röhrsdorf, possibly the east of the Großborthener Flur also belonged to Primselwitz earlier.
