Location of the Söbrigen district in Dresden

Söbrigen is a district in the southeast of the Saxon state capital Dresden . It is located on the city limits in the district of the same name , which belongs to the Loschwitz district.

geography

Söbrigen is located 12 km southeast of Dresden city center, the inner old town , on the right bank of the Elbe in the middle of its flat basin . The distance from the district to the Dresden Elbe slopes , which further north form the transition to the Schönfeld highlands , is a little more than 1 km. The district of Söbrigen, which, along with Wölfnitz, is one of the smallest in Dresden in terms of area, is enclosed in the northwest and northeast by Pillnitz . Together with this and other districts, Söbrigen belongs to the statistical district of Hosterwitz / Pillnitz . In the southeast, the Söbrigener Flur is bordered by the Pirna village of Birkwitz-Pratzschwitz at just a few 100 m . On the other side of the Elbe is the Dresden district of Zschieren , which as part of Kleinzschachwitz already belongs to the Leuben district.

In the area of ​​the Söbrigen district there is a particularly thick layer of gravel under a clay cover that was created from deposits from the Elbe . This consists of Vistula glacial sediments and has already been mined in large gravel pits in the neighboring towns of Birkwitz and Zschieren , from which, among other things, the gravel and bathing lake Birkwitz was created. As part of the Kiessand Pirnaer Elbbogen planning approval procedure , the corridors of Pillnitz and Söbrigen were also designated as a mining area. A citizens' initiative founded in 2006 is fighting against the construction of a gravel works for reasons of environmental protection, feared noise pollution and the impairment of the Dresden Elbe Valley cultural landscape ( protected as UNESCO World Heritage from 2004 to 2009 from Söbrigen ).

The village center of Altsöbrigen has been partially preserved to this day. It is located directly on the high bank of the Elbe at an altitude of about 113  m above sea level. NN . With the approximate dimensions of 1000 m by 250 m, the distinctly elongated district of Söbrigen is almost completely built up and, with its few parallel rows of houses, has the character of a small settlement. Larger open spaces in the form of fields are only found in the surrounding area, which already belongs to Pillnitz. The Elbe meadows are relatively narrow at the level of Söbrigen. In the 19th century there was also the Söbrigener Heeger , an island. The Pillnitz Elbe Island is located northwest of Söbrigen . The most important street in the district is Söbrigener Straße, which, coming from Pillnitz, crosses the district lengthways and continues via Birkwitz in the direction of Pirna-Copitz . The Oberpoyritzer Straße runs from the old village center in the direction of Oberpoyritz . The other named streets in the district are called Hockeyweg, Elbeg and Bonnewitzer Weg. The only public transport that goes to the rest of the city is bus line P of the RVSOE .

history

The village of Söbrigen was first mentioned in 1378 as Cebegrin . This designation probably goes back to the name of a Sorbian locator and thus means village of Sebekury . Söbrigen is a Slavic round with a block and striped floor . As early as the 15th century , the place name was guaranteed in a variety of forms. Called Sebiger , Sebegar , Zcebegren , Zcebrian and Zobrian . In the early 16th century it developed via Zobriunn , Sebrigenn and Sobrige to today's place name, which appears for the first time in 1623.

The Elbe village has belonged to the Großgraupa manor since the Middle Ages . From the neighboring town of Cloden, which is described as desolate in 1438, some corridors were incorporated into Söbrigen. In the 16th century, Söbrigen was initially owned by the respected noble family Karras from Electoral Saxony , a branch of which sat at Schönfeld Castle . In 1579, Christoph von Loß d. Ä. , electoral thigh and councilor, the Obergraupa estate and was thus the landlord in Söbrigen. He had already received the Kammergut Pillnitz ten years earlier and gradually expanded its area. Söbrigen has been closely linked to Pillnitz since that time. The administration fell under the responsibility of the office or the administrative authority of Dresden . Until 1539 Söbrigen was parish in Dohna , after that it was in the parish of Hosterwitz ( Maria am Wasser ).

In the early 18th century, the village experienced a slight upswing due to its proximity to Pillnitz Castle , which at that time under August the Strong was expanded and converted in a baroque style and then became one of the focal points of the absolutist court of the Wettins . In 1727, a farm employee who had been privileged to run a beer tavern, a bakery and a slaughterhouse moved into the forester's house, which was previously used as a Hegerhaus and is still located at Elweg 8 today. From 1765, parts of the Pillnitz castle guard were also living in Söbrigen. Between 1786 and 1795, Samuel David Roller , later pastor of the Lausa church in Weixdorf , which is named after him, lived in Söbrigen. His house, which was located right next to the forester's house, had to make way for a ski jump raised by Napoleonic troops in 1813 , but was later rebuilt. A commemorative plaque in a Söbrigen front garden commemorates the pastor, who became known through Wilhelm von Kügelgen's memories of an old man's youth .

The partly preserved village center called Altsöbrigen , in which Elbe fishermen and boatmen probably lived at the beginning, still has several old farmsteads and houses. The basement of the residential buildings is often made of solid sandstone , the half-timbering on the upper floors has often been plastered. To this day, however, many typical village features have been preserved, such as small sheds, wooden water pumps or old weather vanes. However, there were only a few farms in the village, as the surrounding area was mostly cultivated by the Pillnitzer Gut . The local smallholders and cottagers mainly cultivated gardens, fruit and wine, for which the Söbrigen area is particularly suitable because of its soils, the favorable climatic conditions of the Elbe Valley and the south-facing location. The local women often worked as laundresses; Until around 1900 a laundry ship brought the clothes of Dresden citizens to Söbrigen for cleaning and then back again.

At the end of the 19th century, Söbrigen became a destination for the people of Dresden, who, in addition to the charming valley landscape, appreciated the view of Saxon Switzerland and the eastern Ore Mountains . Since 1896 there was a landing stage of the Saxon steamship in Söbrigen . The passenger ferry Söbrigen – Zschieren, which connected the district with the industrial areas of Heidenau on the left Elbe , had to be discontinued in 1992. At that time, the popular Dorfgasthof Sängerheim was also closed. On July 1, 1950, Söbrigen was incorporated into Dresden together with other surrounding towns and has since formed a district of the state capital. To this day it has been shown to be a small residential area on the outskirts.
