history
Local history
Archaeological excavations of a burial ground on the Sachsenberg prove settlement activity in the area during the Bronze and Iron Ages .
Särichen is first mentioned in a document in 1389. Heinrich Schaff von Serichin , mentioned in 1408, is the first known landlord of the village. The village is parish to Rengersdorf . In 1428 Kaspar von Gersdorff stood on Särichen during the Hussite Wars in league with the city of Görlitz.
In 1771 a parish hall was built, which also housed a classroom and the teacher's apartment. As a result of the Wars of Liberation , the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede a large part of its land area after the Congress of Vienna in 1815. As a result, Särchen came to the Prussian province of Silesia and was incorporated into the newly founded district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) In 1816 .
Until the founding of the empire in 1871, the houses, sometimes even entire farmsteads, were mostly made of clay frameworks and thatched with thatch, but the appearance of the town changed noticeably in the following decades. The construction of the brickworks in Kodersdorf in 1880, which also provided employment to Särichen workers, and the construction of the road from Kodersdorf through Särichen to Horka in 1891/1892 led to the construction of several massive houses, which not only enlarged the village, but also a change in the village image was initiated. In 1899 a new schoolhouse was finally built.
After the Second World War , the parts of Silesia west of the Lusatian Neisse were again assigned to Saxon and Särichen in 1952 to the Niesky district . Also after the end of the war, the manor was expropriated and redistributed as part of the land reform . Until the fall of the Wall , the population was mainly active in agriculture.
As part of the Saxon community area reforms, Särichen was attached to the Kodersdorf community on January 1, 1994.

In 1553, 16 possessed men and 7 gardeners were farming in Särichen . By 1777 the total number of farms increased with a simultaneous shift in the social structure, so that 10 possessed men, 15 gardeners and 10 cottagers were counted.
According to the first population census in 1825, the population increased from 292 to 426 in 1885. According to this, a decrease to below 350 inhabitants can be determined in the interwar period, which was only compensated for shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. After the war, the population rose to 470 in 1950 as a result of refugees and resettlers from the former German eastern regions, and in 1964 the number was only slightly lower at 430. After that, a gradual decline can be observed, which fell below the mark of 300 inhabitants during the fall of the Berlin Wall. Only in 1993 did the population rise again with 305 inhabitants, which at the turn of the millennium reached the mark of 330 inhabitants.
Place name
The place name developed from Serichin (1408) through Serichen (1479), Zcerchin (1545) and Särchen (1791) to today's Särichen . Regarding the other documents, especially the early ones , Ernst Eichler and Hans Walther point out that these are difficult to separate from those for Sercha at Penzig (today Żarka nad Nysą ). The Sorbian place name is documented in 1767 in Christian Knauthe's Derer Oberlausitzer Sorbenenken complex church history as Zarki and in 1894 in Muka as Zdźarki .
The name derives, similar to Groß Särchen ( Upper Sorbian Wulke Ždźary ), Särchen ( Zdźar ) and the relatively nearby Polish places Żarki Wielkie (Groß Särchen), Żarki Małe (Little Särchen) and Żarka nad Nysą (Sercha), from Old Sorbian žďar, žar "fire" from. It can be assumed that the corridor was opened up for settlement by clearing and burning a piece of forest.
