history

Say of the Riesa giant as the origin of the name

Giant Mound, 2014

The legend was first recorded in 1785 by the Boritz pastor Johann Friedrich Ursinus. Once a giant came to the bank of the Elbe on his wandering. Before crossing the river, he stopped for a moment. He felt a pressure in his boots that came from the grains of sand and small stones that had accumulated over the long journey. He sat on the bank, groaned, pulled off his boots, and turned them over. This created a large hill on which Riesa's first houses were built. This is how the people of Riesa explain the name of their city.

Based on this story, the giant is one of Riesa's names. The giant crowns a variant of the city's coat of arms and is considered the city's mascot. Since 2004, the master brewer Gunter Spies from HammerBräu in Riesenhügel has officially embodied the Riesa city mascot. The Riesa giant is one of Saxony's most popular city mascots. For a number of years a huge festival was celebrated on the last weekend in August . The Riesaer Riese award is given annually in the city to citizens to be honored in the categories of economy, culture, sport, volunteer work and life's work. For the citizens' festival of 20 years of German unity in Dresden, he represented the entire district. In April 2014 he received the RIESAER GIANT in the honorary office category for 2013.

Historical origin of the name

In fact, Riesa is derived from Riez owe . This name, latinized as Reszoa , appears for the first time in a document from Pope Calixt II from October 1119, when Dietrich I , Bishop of Naumburg , consecrated the oldest monastery of the Mark Meissen . He used the name of the small Slavic settlement in the immediate vicinity of the monastery in the area where the Jahna flows into the Elbe. Risowe means something like terrain cut, so that the name of the city can be freely translated as "place at the river mouth" or "place on the river". The place name Riesa is first recorded in 1451.

Timetable

After the abbey was dissolved in 1554, it was converted into a castle, since 1874 town hall, 2007

In the time of the Roman emperors and the migration of peoples , a nameless Elbe-Germanic small tribe of the Hermunduren is proven in the area around Riesa . In the course of the Great Migration, they moved westwards and Slavic Sorbs settled the area. This was probably loosely dependent on the Thuringian tribal areas further to the west , which is reflected in the archaeological finds. During that time, near the confluence of the Jahna and Elbe rivers, the Riezowe settlement emerged, one of many in a relatively densely populated area. The period of German dominance in the region began in the 10th century. However, the place was only mentioned in writing a few centuries later after the so-called German eastward expansion . From around 1111 a four-sided closed farm on the slope of the Jahna was converted into a monastery, an event that a document from Pope Calixt II recorded in October 1119. It was about the German monastery in the Mark Meissen. The local monks almost brought the monastery to economic ruin. A short time later, the Augustinian Canons took the fate of the monastery into their own hands. Since knowledgeable monks were in demand all over the country, they were gradually recruited and nuns took their place. There was a double monastery for 35 years. In 1542 the 17  nuns of the Order of St. Benedict had to leave their home, which was given as a fief in 1554. In 1623 the was a market town Riesa by the chamberlain of the Saxon electors , Christoph Felgenhauer , the city charter granted, linked to the right, twice a year markets to stop. However, Riesa lost this right and remained relatively insignificant as a market town until the development of the railway system, until it was elevated to a town for the second time in 1859. In 1635, shoemakers, tailors and tanners came together to form the first craft guild.

Railway bridge over the Elbe

A post office was first built in the city in 1820. When the first train of the Leipzig-Dresden Railway crossed the new Elbe bridge in 1839 , economic development began rapidly. The handling of goods from ship to rail brought the community significant income. With the rail connections to Leipzig, Dresden , Chemnitz , Jüterbog , Elsterwerda and Nossen , Riesa developed into an important rail hub in northern Saxony. The foundation stone for the settlement of important industries was laid in 1843 with the iron hammer mill. In 1848, the Elbe-Blatt was the first weekly newspaper, which later became the Riesaer Tageblatt , which appeared until April 23, 1945 and has been published again since 1991.

Road bridge over the Elbe

1858 began with the entry of a cavalry squadron of the Saxon cavalry Riesa's garrison history. In the period that followed, the city became the third largest garrison town in Saxony. In the German War (1866) two arches of the wooden Elbe bridge were burned down.

In 1878 a steel lattice road bridge was completed next to the railway bridge over the Elbe and in 1888 the inland port. 1912 between Riesa and Lauchhammer the first high voltage cable in the world for 110 kV built. At the end of the Second World War , Wehrmacht soldiers blew up the road bridge over the Elbe. The new construction of the road bridge over the Elbe was inaugurated in 1956, 200 m above the old bridge. From 1952 to 1990 Riesa was the district town in the Dresden district .

After reunification , the 9th  Panzer Division of the Group of Soviet Armed Forces in Germany withdrew from Riesa.

After the city belonged to the district authority of Großenhain and was district-free from 1924 to 1946, Riesa was the administrative seat of the Riesa district from 1952 to 1994 ; on August 1, 1994 the district merged with the district of Großenhain , with Großenhain becoming the administrative seat of the new district . Riesa has been a major district town in the Free State of Saxony since 1994 .

On September 23, 2008, the city received the title “ Place of Diversity ” awarded by the federal government .

In 2011, the castle bridge over the harbor between Gröba and the city center , which was blown up by Wehrmacht soldiers in 1945, was reopened, thus completing the Elbe cycle path in the Riesa city area. The new building has been co-financed by private donations since 2004.

Population development

Population pyramid for Riesa (data source: 2011 census)

With the industrial revolution, Riesa was able to grow into a town, especially since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1952 Riesa became a district town. After the fall of the Wall in 1989, Riesa's population fell rapidly - as in most other medium-sized cities in Eastern Germany. Above all, the closure of the steel mill and the associated rise in unemployment led to the population falling from almost 52,000 inhabitants (1981) to currently only 31,000.

Economy and Infrastructure

VEB Zündwarenwerke Riesa

The large district town of Riesa was an industrial city during the GDR era. The city was particularly shaped by the steelworks, the largest metallurgical combine in the GDR with over 13,000 employees . The turning point in 1989/90 led to the collapse of many industrial companies (including cotton spinning mills, aropharmaceuticals, consumer - bakery products) and a strong emigration of the inhabitants from Riesa.

The economic basis of the city remained industry, currently the electronics, steel, food, automotive supplier and chemical industries are represented, which at the same time form the prerequisites for small and medium-sized crafts. Thanks to the collaboration with a Swabian pasta manufacturer, the traditional Riesa pasta production could be continued and is now the market leader in Germany.

The matchmaking factory founded in 1923 was closed in 1993. While the products come from other countries, the logo with the R in a circle is still used.

The Muskator-Werke GmbH animal feed went into bankruptcy in 2015.

A turning point was achieved with the 1999 Sumo World Cup in the SACHSEN Arena , which was completed in the same year , and the trend was consolidated by further international sporting events. This 8,000 square meter multifunctional hall, which can hold up to 13,000 spectators, can be used for sports competitions as well as for concerts and other events. A highlight of this development was Riesa's participation in the “Olympia 2012 campaign” in Leipzig.
