geography

The place at the confluence of the Lausenbach in the Große Röder was first mentioned in 1350 as "Hermansdorf". In 1449 there was a Vorwerk (manor) in the place, then in 1552 a manor , from which Hermsdorf Castle developed. Hermsdorf, which was part of the parish of Lausa , had around 1,400 inhabitants in 1990. Since January 1st 1999 it belongs to Ottendorf-Okrilla.

In Hermsdorf the federal highway 97 ( Dresden - Hoyerswerda - Guben ) leaves the federal highway 4 at junction 83 Hermsdorf . Before the rededication , the B 97 led through the town on Dresdner Strasse ( Königsbrücker Landstrasse in neighboring Weixdorf ).

history

The manor Hermsdorf was acquired by Otto von Carlowitz in 1461 . From 1553 to 1575, Christoph von Carlowitz built Hermsdorf Castle on it, an elongated, almost imperceptibly bent building in the Renaissance style with three towers in front, two side and one central stair tower, comparable to the Jägerhof (Dresden) . The castle courtyard is surrounded by walls with thick, round corner towers, as was the case with the original Moritzburg castle , and framed on three sides by a moat. Carlowitz was followed by Hans Harrer ; The owners were from 1586 Hans von Zschieren and from 1607 stable master Count Georg von Bindauf († 1617).

After a fire, the builder led Ezekiel Eckhardt from 1654 renewal through which he continued after 1657 the basic rule of the manor Hermsdorf including Wahnsdorf by transferring Elector Johann Georg II. Of the Electoral possession of the Lord Marshal Johann Georg Freiherr von Rechenberg had passed . The rich early baroque stucco in the entrance hall and in the palace chapel, which is located in one of the four round towers, were probably created by Italian traveling artists.

Front facade of the castle

In 1699 Field Marshal Heino Heinrich von Flemming bought the estate. His son Count Adam Friedrich von Flemming (1687–1744) had the building restored in the Baroque style after a fire in 1729, with George Bähr providing the design; he emphasized the central wing with a large triangular gable into which oval windows are inserted and crowned the stair tower with a curly stone dome, reminiscent of the stair tower crowning of his Dresden Frauenkirche . In addition, Count Flemming laid out a baroque garden with a canal, which was later converted into an English landscape garden.

From his estate, the estate was auctioned in 1756 to Countess Charlotte Sophie von Hoym , the daughter-in-law of Carl Siegfried von Hoym . Until the death of her son Adolf Magnus von Hoym in 1775, the Hoym'sche Schloss Guteborn with its associated villages became Beigut von Hermsdorf. Guteborn then falls to the last male representative of the Saxon line, Gotthelf Adolph von Hoym (1731–1783). From 1808 Heinrich Ludwig Burggraf and Count zu Dohna , a grandson of Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf and grandson -in-law of Charlotte Sophie von Hoym, owned the dominion of Hermsdorf. He had been managing the estate since his marriage in 1800 at the request of the grandmother of his first wife Mariana Amalia von Schönberg (born August 10, 1779 in Hermsdorf, † September 10, 1805 in Lausa), but had to turn it to Ernst in 1823 Thank God von Heynitz sell. Under Heinrich Ludwig Graf zu Dohna, the palace developed from 1800 into a center of Herrnhut - Pietist piety and the Saxon awakening movement , which the new owner of Heynitz continued from 1823 .

Rococo hall from 1890

From 1865 Prince Georg von Schönburg-Waldenburg (1828–1900) was the owner. Around 1890 he had the ballroom furnished with delicate stucco work in the Rococo style. His daughter Anna Luise von Schönburg-Waldenburg, who later became Princess Anna Luise von Schwarzburg , was born at Hermsdorf Castle on February 19, 1871 . Prince Georg was followed by his son Hermann (1865–1943), while his younger brother Ulrich Georg (1869–1939) took up residence at Guteborn Castle .

During the GDR period and afterwards until 1998, the palace was used as a nursing home and therefore the historic interior design has been destroyed except for the ballroom and the entrance hall. Today it belongs to the community and is used for events, weddings, etc.

In the castle park there is an oak tree with a chest height of 6.70 m (2016) next to the pond.
