history

Reichenberg was first mentioned in a document in 1235 as "Richenberc"; A "Thymo de Rychenberg" is mentioned in 1289, which is why it is assumed that there was a manor house in the village at that time. The place name, which comes from German, means something like "settlement on a fertile mountain". In the course of the centuries it changed among other things over the forms "Richinberg" and "Reichenburg" to the today's name.

On the 860 hectare (as of 1900) Reichenberger Gewannflur , the inhabitants of the Straßenangerdorf did not only cultivate crops and raise livestock, but also viticulture, which is documented as early as 1418 and only came to a standstill in the 1880s in the wake of the phylloxera disaster . In the middle of the 16th century, the residents of Reichenberg had to pay dues to the Meißner cathedral chapter , the pastor of Reichenberg, to Matthes von Karras , to Friedrich von Carlowitz as owner of the Hermsdorf manor and (by far the largest part) to the Dresden office ; At that time there were two works in the area .

Reichenberg was and is the church village for the surrounding villages. Boxdorf, Friedewald (Buchholz and Dippelsdorf) and Wahnsdorf are included. Until 1900 Eisenberg and Moritzburg belonged to the parish Reichenberg, until 1913 also Rähnitz . The deserted village of Krauschen was also part of the parish in 1539 . In the 16th century, Reichenberg was by far the largest village on the plateau northwest of Dresden.

To the south of the village center there was a Dutch windmill in the 19th century on a hill on the Straken, the old connecting route via Wahnsdorf to Alt-Radebeul , which was later demolished. Major fires ravaged the village in 1812 and 1813, but a voluntary fire brigade was not established until 1920. From 1912 to 1914, just before the outbreak of World War I , it was on the field boundary with Boxdorf, between the local windmill on the Gallberg and the Wetterberg, an airfield in operation, which, however, represented competition for the Dresden-Kaditz airfield, which was also emerging at the time , and therefore had to be closed.

On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Reichenberg gained independence as a rural community . The Neu-Reichenberg settlement, which emerged on the border with Boxdorf at the beginning of the 20th century, was incorporated into Boxdorf in 1956, five years later the Dippelsdorf extension was transferred to the Friedewald community. In 1975 the Moritzburg community association was founded, which Reichenberg also joined. The incorporation of Boxdorf and Friedewald to Reichenberg took place on 1 January 1994. Exactly later the municipality Liberec was connected to Moritzburg five years. Until the mid-1990s, the dairy , which today belongs to Radebeul, was Reichenberg's most southwestern point.

Attractions

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Reichenberg dates back to around 1200. A simple Romanesque portal arch on the south wall of the church and an old baptismal font bear witness to this . In the late Gothic period , the sacred building was rebuilt, which essentially got its current shape. The nave was raised and a chancel was added. The church is surrounded by a small cemetery.
