Sürßen is a district of the town of Dohna in the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district in Saxony . It belongs to the village of Röhrsdorf .

geography

Sürßen is about 1.5 kilometers west of Dohna's old town . It is located on the plateau between Müglitz in the east and Lockwitzbach in the west south of the Elbe valley . Sürßen is located on a small stream that flows east through the Sürßengrund to the Müglitz. The Spargrundbach marks the southern field boundary. There Sürßen also has a share in the nature reserve "Spargrund bei Dohna". The fruit growing around Borthen and Röhrsdorf also shapes Sürßen and its immediate surroundings.

Adjacent districts of Dohna are Tronitz in the southwest, Gorknitz in the immediate northern neighborhood and Dohna city center in the northeast. The Müglitztal districts of Falkenhain and Ploschwitz are neighboring to the southeast . The next place to the south is Crotta , which is also part of the municipality of Müglitztal .

In Sürßen, streets from the direction of Dohna city center, Tronitz and Bosewitz meet. Due to the small size of the place, the address of the houses is simply Sürßen, supplemented by the respective house number. Sürßen does not have a direct public transport connection; Line B of the Dreßler travel service stops in Gorknitz, around 500 meters away .

history

Sweetness on a map from the 19th century

The Slavic place name comes from * siŕšeń, the Old Sorbian word for hornet , and thus means "village where there are (many) hornets". It is probably a mock name that the place possibly got because of particularly intrusive residents. The place name was first mentioned in 1289 as part of the personal name "Fridericus Sursen", so that historians assume that there was a manor house in Sürßen at that time. Further documents mention 1311 a "Frisco von Sorsen" and 1350 a "Bernhardus de Suersen". The current spelling of the place appears for the first time as early as 1445/47. Until the beginning of the 17th century, however, many other spellings were also in use, including "Zschorrßen", "Zschurrschen", "Sirschen", "Surschen" and "Sirßen".

Sürßen was created from two round shapes , which is why the village complex is also known as a double round shape. The place is within a 278 hectare block corridor with 13 to 14 hooves . At first it was owned by the Burgraves of Dohna . From 1321 to 1406 Sürßen was designated as an allod of the Altzella monastery near Nossen . In 1548, Sürßen was an official village, and the Dresden council also owned some shares in it at that time. In the 16th century, Elector Johann Georg I enfeoffed Joachim von Loß on Pillnitz and Schönfeld , a son of Christoph von Loß the Younger , with Sürßen as well as Mügeln and Heidenau . The lords of Bünau inherited the manor and sold it to Rudolph von Neitschütz in 1649 .

In 1683 the Appellate and Senior Consistorial Councilor, Dr. Adam Christoph Jacobi took over the estate. In 1764, Sürßen was considered a dry manor. This means that there was no mansion with residential and farm buildings in the place anymore, but the landowners' rights of land and judiciary still existed. Sürßen remained in the Jacobis family until 1823, when it was transferred to Dr. August Ferdinand Hauschild inherited. In 1835 there was a big fire in the village, which destroyed eight estates, a garden, the community center with school and the blacksmith's shop. The last lords of the manor were the von Globig family from 1838 until after 1860. The manor ceased to exist in the 19th century.

The administration of Sürßen was initially the responsibility of the Dohna Department, then the Pirna Office from the 16th century and then the Pirna Court Office in 1856. On the basis of the rural community order of 1838 , Sürßen gained independence as a rural community . In 1874 this was part of the Pirna administration . On July 1, 1950, Sürssen (then spelling) was incorporated into Gorknitz and was part of the Pirna district from 1952 onwards . On January 1, 1993, the community of Gorknitz merged with Borthen and Röhrsdorf to form the new community of Röhrsdorf. Since its incorporation into the city of Dohna on January 1, 1999, Sürßen has belonged to Dohna. The place was and is also a parish in the local Marienkirche .
