history
In 1411 Rodewisch was first mentioned in a document as Redewisch. The exact origin of the name is not known. Ernst Eichler explains the name, -wisch speak concerning bundle of hay or straw, tufts, Wedel, broom . This has been considered a hallmark and national emblem since ancient times. A sign of this kind was probably put up when the clearing began.
The oldest settlement is on a flood-free terrace around today's St. Petri Church. Originally on the outskirts of the village was the Göltzsch moated castle, which was probably built in the late 13th century (later the Obergöltzsch manor, today's so-called castle island ). Balthasar Friedrich Edler von der Planitz resided here in the 16th century . He became known through the sale of part of his possessions, especially large forests up to the Bohemian border as well as Neustädtel , Stützengrün and Schönheide to the Saxon Elector August in 1563. He died shortly before the conclusion of the purchase contract, which his brother Hans Friedrich and his widow Magdalena, nee von Back, negotiated and signed. Archaeological excavations were carried out in the area of the former castle from 1937 to 1939 under the direction of the later Saxon state curator Hans Nadler . The results of this excavation can be viewed in the museum opened in 1951. In 1602, three manors were created through the division of the nobles von der Planitz: Obergöltzsch, Untergöltzsch, Niederauerbach. According to the contract of February 9, 1856, these properties were merged to form the Rodewisch political community. They belonged to the Plauen office until the 19th century .
A local hammer mill was converted into a brass mill in 1603 and only shut down in 1924. In 1875 the place received a rail connection to Zwickau and Oelsnitz / Vogtl. , on May 8, 1924 Rodewisch was raised to the city .
At the Rodewisch school observatory, the Sputnik was observed for the first time with the help of binoculars on October 8, 1957. This is where the first photograph of the Sputnik 1 launch vehicle was taken on October 13, 1957.
Tell about the origin of the place
The pagan Count von Schöneck had a daughter whom he loved very much. The Christian Count von Planschwitz wooed her and wanted to convert her to his faith. But her father did not want to allow his daughter to turn away from his gods. One day the two counts go to war together. Count von Planschwitz falls and gives Count von Schöneck his bloody sash as a final greeting to his beloved. In an emergency, Count von Schöneck invokes his gods and swears to them, if he wins, to sacrifice the person he meets first on his return home. When she sees the bloody sash, his beloved daughter runs towards him, worried about Count von Planschwitz. As a man of honor who does not break his vows, the count begins the day of sacrifice with a heavy heart. But his daughter flees at night and only takes her lover's sash with her. She wanders through the woods for a long time before taking a break at the Göltzsch at dawn . Here she vows to dedicate her life to the Christian God if she is warmly accepted by the relatives of Count von Planschwitz. She wants to build a house in this place and be loyal to her lover forever. To find the spot again, she ties the bloody sash to a hazel bush. Due to wind and weather, the sash is soon just a red smudge. The Ob der Göltzsch estate , which the daughter of Count von Schöneck, who soon died of Gram, had built, was given the name Rothe-Wisch (Rodewisch).

traffic
railroad
Rodewisch is on the course book route 539 and today has regional train connections to Zwickau , Falkenstein / Vogtl. , Klingenthal and connections to the Czech Republic ( Kraslice / Sokolov / Karlsbad ). Rodewisch was connected to the railway network in 1875, when the Zwickau-Lengenfeld-Falkenstein line first went into operation.
Traffic has been handled exclusively by the private Vogtlandbahn since 1997 , using RegioSprinter diesel multiple units . Before that, Deutsche Bahn operated the route with diesel locomotives ( class 110 and class 132 ) and passenger coaches from the DR . After the original three tracks were dismantled, the town of Rodewisch lost its status as a station town in 1968, and the station was converted into a stop on demand at the end of the 1990s. There is no supra-regional or long-distance traffic. Due to the increased number of passengers, however, the status of an on-demand stop was revoked, so that every train stops in Rodewisch today.
In the 1970s, the Leipzig- Klingenthal winter sports train ran through Rodewisch, but only stopped in the district town of Auerbach. In 2000, a railway bridge was completed in the border town of Klingenthal, so that more extensive rail traffic is possible again from Rodewisch than was the case with the daily Zwickau-Falkenstein passenger trains for three decades.
In Kraslice it is now possible to switch to the Czech private railway GW Train Regio , but most trains run on the Zwickau-Sokolov route, whereby the Zwickau-Klingenthal service is a service of Vogtlandbahn GmbH and the Klingenthal-Sokolov route (see Sokolov-Klingenthal railway line ) is an offer from GW Train Regio. The Vogtlandbahn between Klingenthal and Zwotental is controlled by Czech train drivers, the ticket controls are carried out by the Vogtlandbahn itself. In Sokolov and Karlovy Vary there is a connection to the express train network of the Czech railways České dráhy . While the connections to Kraslice and Sokolov are offered daily, Karlovy Vary (via Chodov ) is only served on weekends. A special feature of the connection to Zwickau is that the trains do not end at the main train station, but continue to run as a tram to downtown Zwickau after they stop there . In 1997, 2006 and 2008 there were changes in the route, so that for a short time Adorf (1997), the Czech Mariánské Lázně (2006) and Bečov nad Teplou (May and June 2008) could be reached directly from Rodewisch. Bečov was 111 (railway) kilometers away from Rodewisch, the furthest destination ever directly accessible.
Rodewisch is crossed several times a year by steam trains from various traditional clubs, although these trains stop in Rodewisch at irregular intervals. At the beginning of the 20th century Rodewisch also had a second train station on the Herlasgrün – Falkenstein railway line , but this was on Rebesgrüner Flur and was transferred to the city of Auerbach / Vogtl in 1939 . sold, where it is still used today as the “Auerbach ob. Bf.” station.
bus
Rodewisch has a bus station that is quite large for the size of the city and represents a hub in regional bus traffic. From here you can reach: Auerbach / Vogtl., Falkenstein / Vogtl. , Treuen , Annaberg-Buchholz , Schneeberg , Chemnitz , Zwickau , Plauen , Reichenbach , Johanngeorgenstadt , Geyer , Aue , Klingenthal . Rodewisch has three inner-city bus routes with connections to the Obergöltzsch Clinic, the Randsiedlung and Rützengrün.
Despite the good rail and bus connections, there is no direct transition from the train station to the bus station in Rodewisch (approx. 1.5 kilometers away). The establishment of a bus line has been under discussion since 2007.
Economy and Infrastructure
schools
- Friedrich Schiller School Primary School (approx. 250 students)
- Johann-Heinrich-Pestalozzi-Gymnasium (approx. 700 students)
- Vocational school center for business Rodewisch (approx. 450 students)
Göltzschtalhalle
The Göltzschtalhalle Rodewisch (built in 1996) is a multi-purpose sports hall (45 × 27 m) that is primarily used for school and club sports. The hall can be divided into three individual halls (each 15 × 27 m) using curtains. Lowering or lowering devices in the hall floor and ceiling area guarantee quick conversion to other sports.
Hospitals
In 1893, on the Göltzsch manor, which was bought by the Saxon state in 1888, a state remedial and care facility for the mentally ill was established in Untergöltzsch. From 1964 this institution was operated as a district hospital for psychiatry and neurology . After 1990 it was named the Saxon Hospital for Psychiatry and Neurology Rodewisch . The general hospital Klinikum Obergöltzsch , of which the Vogtlandkreis is responsible, and the first-mentioned clinic were renovated and expanded at great expense after 1990.
Culture and sights
Buildings
- Castle Island and “Göltzsch” Museum: The Göltzsch Museum was opened in 1951. The excavation pieces of the old moated castle, which were uncovered on the island site from 1937 to 1939, formed the basis of his exhibits. Thousands of everyday items from the 13th to 16th centuries were painstakingly excavated, conserved and partially restored. The monument conservationist Hans Nadler received his doctorate in 1940 with a dissertation on the findings.
- The St. Petri Church (1736) has a pulpit altar from the time it was built, an altar by the Zwickau carver Peter Breuer , which is dated to around 1516, and a statue of St. Peter by the same artist. An Annunciation angel from 1714 and the Jehmlich organ are also impressive .
School observatory and planetarium "Sigmund Jähn"
The building on Rützengrüner Höhe was opened as an independent observatory in 1965 after it had been on the tower of the Pestalozzi School for a few years. In 1985, a planetarium with a dome diameter of eight meters was opened on the site. With the help of a Zeiss star projector, not only the starry sky can be shown, but also other cultural events such as B. Concerts take place.
With an objective diameter of 305 millimeters, the Cassegrain reflector is the largest telescope in the observatory. The primary focal length is 1800 millimeters, the secondary focal length 5500 millimeters. With it, the lunar surface, planets, double stars, star clusters, gas and dust nebulae and galaxies are observed and photographed.
