Sandförstgen , Upper Sorbian , is a district of the East Saxon community of Hohendubrau . The village is located in the Sorbian settlement area in the western part of the district of Görlitz in Upper Lusatia .
geography
Sandförstgen is just under five kilometers north of the city of Weißenberg , which has a junction of the same name on the federal motorway 4 (section Bautzen - Görlitz ). Between 1815 and 1945 the Saxon-Prussian border ran between the two places, which at this point still forms the district boundary between the Bautzen district and the Görlitz district. The Hohe Dubrau rises in a north-easterly direction .
Surrounding villages are the Hohendubrau districts Groß Saubernitz in the west, Weigersdorf in the north, Groß Radisch in the northeast, Jerchwitz in the east and Gebelzig in the southeast. In the south, beyond the district boundary, lies the Weißenberg district of Wuischke .
history
Local history
Sandförsten is a relatively young place. The settlement, laid out as a round hamlet in the corridor of Obergebelzig, was first mentioned in a document in 1732. The manor was exercised by the manor Obergebelzig, and spiritually Sandförstgen was also subordinate to the Evangelical Church of Gebelzig.
After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Upper Lusatia was divided, with the Kingdom of Prussia receiving the larger northeastern part. As a result, Sandförstgen was added to the newly founded district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) In 1816.
In the second half of the 19th century, clay that was directly below the surface of the site was mined about 500 meters south of the village. The brown coal lying under the tertiary clay was also mined and delivered to the brickworks of Groß Saubernitz and Niedergebelzig, among others.
After the Second World War, belonging to the state of Saxony again, the municipality of Gebelzig with its districts Groß Saubernitz and Sandförstgen became part of the Niesky district in 1952 .
As a result of the district reform of 1994, Sandförstgen became part of the Lower Silesian Upper Lusatia District and has belonged to the Hohendubrau municipality as one of nine districts since July 1, 1995 as a result of the merger of the municipalities of Gebelzig, Groß Radisch and Weigersdorf . As a result of another district reform, Sandförstgen has been in the Görlitz district since August 1st, 2008 .

When the state examinated in 1777, four possessed men , four gardeners and three cottagers were reported for Sandförstgen .
At the beginning of the 19th century, Sandförsten had 66 inhabitants who were spread across 12 farms. By the beginning of the second half of that century, the population rose to around 100, although in 1884 the proportion of Sorbs was 78%. Before the end of the century, the population figures were collected together with Obergebelzig . The language change to German took place mainly in the first half of the 20th century.
Place name
Document mentions are Klein Förstgen (1732) on Johann George Schreiber's map of Upper Lusatia, Sand-Förstgen (1759) on the map of the Markgrafthum Upper Lusatia by Peter Schenk, Förstgen (1777) and Klein Förstgen and Sandförstgen (1791). The prefix used in each case serves to distinguish it from the church village of Förstgen , which is about 15 kilometers to the north ; the preference for the prefix sand (which probably refers to the predominant type of soil) over small should serve to better distinguish between small forstchen (west of Bautzen).
The Sorbian name evolved from Borschka (1767 at Knauthe ) Borschcžka (1848) for valid today Borštka (1885). In 1920 the name was reproduced as Pěsačna Borštka . The Sorbian name is probably due to a Sorabization from the German forest to Boršć . This correspondence in the German and Sorbian name can be observed in Salzenforst , in Oberförstchen and the neighboring Kleinförstchen , in Kronförstchen and in Förstgen . Only in Sandförstgen is the Sorbian name prefix-free, but the word ending has been expanded to include the lowering suffix -k in the feminine form -ka .
