history

The place was first mentioned in 1271 by Heinrich the Illustrious as Ruedegersdorff . In 1575 a teacher is mentioned for the first time (Jakob Gentsch from Geithain). In 1579 the owner of the place (the von Rüdigsdorf family) sold the place together with Neuhof to Joachim von Loß. From then on the owner families changed frequently: 1581 from Lüttichau, 1585 from Rüdigsdorf, 1592 from Helldorf, 1595 from Einsiedel , then from Heynitz , von Pflugk , von Koseritz , 1718 from Schindler and 1783 from Rayska. In 1810 the publisher Siegfried Leberecht Crusius bought the manor Rüdigsdorf with Neuhof, who had previously inherited the neighboring manor Sahlis from his uncle Georg Leberecht Crusius in 1795 . Until 1945, Rüdigsdorf and Sahlis remained in the possession of the Crusius family for a total of 6 generations.

Manor house and manor house

In 1822 the quarrying of Rüdigsdorf sandstone ended. After the reconstruction of the mansion in the classical style , the garden of the mansion in the English style and an orangery were laid out from 1823 . In 1830 a new school was built, later a harvest kindergarten as a wooden block house in Swiss style. In 1839 the Schwind Pavilion was inaugurated . In 1848 Wilhelm Leberecht Crusius, as patron saint, had the church expanded in the neo-Gothic style.

Until 1856, Rüdigsdorf was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Borna . From 1856 the place belonged to the Frohburg court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration . In 1895 the union with Neuhof and Pflug took place to form the rural community of Rüdigsdorf-Neuhof.

In the course of the land reform in 1945, the Crusius family was expropriated and expelled. The Rüdigsdorf estate with Neuhof was divided among around 20 new settlers, who set up new farmer jobs in Rüdigsdorf on the Verbotenen Weg, on Neuhof and in Linda. On July 1, 1950, Rüdigsdorf was incorporated into Kohren-Sahlis. In 1950 the Rüdigsdorf School was closed and gradually incorporated into the Kohren-Sahlis School. In 1953 six new farmers founded a type III LPG ; later the company developed into an LPG animal production, the large cowshed in the direction of Altmörbitz was completed in 1990 as a shell.

The Evangelical Lutheran Christ Church is the work of the Leipzig architect and Semper student Oscar Mothes (1828–1903), who designed it on behalf of Wilhelm Leberecht Crusius , and was extensively renovated in 1989. The altarpiece Christ as Prince of Peace by Gustav Jäger (1808–1871), the altar crucifix designed by Ernst Rietschel , and the pulpit in the form of a vine by the court sculptor Paul Segeberg are noteworthy .

After 1990, the Kohren-Sahlis industrial estate was built near Pflug and the new development area Dornengrund in Rüdigsdorf . The dairy cattle facility of the Kohrener Land agricultural cooperative based in Rüdigsdorf was completed in 1992 and expanded in 2006. Many houses and courtyards have been beautified in recent years. In 2005 the Waldschänke restaurant was closed. In 2001 the von Breitenbuch family, as heirs of the Crusius family , bought the manor and manor house back and renovated them.

Rüdigsdorf has been part of the city of Frohburg since January 1, 2018.

The Schwindsaal was decorated by the late romantic painter and draftsman Moritz von Schwind . Ceilings and walls show the ancient fairy tale Cupid and Psyche. The plans for it made u. a. Gottfried Semper .
• The classical mansion with pond and park in the English style: On the upper floor, Dr. Wilhelm Lebrecht Crusius set up a representation room, today's wallpaper room. It is lined with picture wallpaper from the French company Dufour & Leroy. It shows scenes from the "Olympic festivals" of Greek mythology in sepia print.
