Saritsch , Upper Sorbian , is a place in the East Saxon district of Bautzen and has belonged to the municipality of Neschwitz since 1993 . The place is located in Upper Lusatia and is part of the Sorbian settlement area .
geography
The place is located about nine kilometers northwest of the large district town of Bautzen and four kilometers south of the community center in the Upper Lusatian region . The floodplain of the black water stretches to the south and east of the town . In a north-westerly direction, the terrain rises towards the Windmühlenberg (207 m). The Wetro landfill is located here today.
Saritsch is a square-like estate settlement with the estate in the northeastern part of the village. The neighboring towns are Krinitz and Luga in the northeast, Loga on the other side of the Schwarzwassers in the south and Pannewitz in the west.
history
The Saritscher Windmühlenberg probably had religious significance in the Bronze Age ; At least that is what jewelry finds suggest. In addition, Bronze Age fragments and a grave were found at the northern exit of the village, which are attributed to the Billendorfer culture .
The place itself developed on the site of a medieval moated castle, the location of which is still recognizable today by a rise in the ground, and was first mentioned in 1412 as Scharezk . Other forms of name recorded are Sarecz (1416), Saricz (1514) and Saritzsch (1580).
The manor house (first mentioned in 1412) in Saritsch goes back to a medieval moated castle, the remains of which have been proven in a water-rich depression on the south-eastern outskirts. The mansion was enclosed by a moat that could be flooded in case of danger. In the 16th century, this fortification, secured by ditches, was abandoned and the manor house, which still exists today, was built on the northeastern edge of the village.
In 1722 the estate came into the possession of the von Theler family's descendants for approx. 220 years (until 1946) through Hans Christoph von Theler. Since the descendants were mostly female, and it used to be customary to take the man's name, superficial observers refer to this as a change of ownership or sales within the family were common.
In 1843 the first school was built, in which the children from Loga, Uebigau and Krinitz as well as the Protestant children from Dreikretscham , Weidlitz and Pannewitz were taught. In 1848, the Saritsch farmer Jan Wróbl was the secretary of the Sorbian peasant petition against the aristocracy, which was drawn up by 69 community boards. In 1879 the "Wendish Association" was founded, which had about 50 members and u. a. comprised a choir and a theater group, which was considered "the most active Sorbian touring stage at the time". His meeting place was the inn in neighboring Loga.
In 1912 the construction of the Radibor - Kamenz section of the Saxon Northeast Railway was approved, whereby Saritsch would have received a stop on this. However, the realization of the project was delayed by the local farmers and landowners and finally abandoned after the outbreak of the First World War . In 1913 the school was rebuilt.
On November 7, 2000, the fugitive rapist and murderer Frank Schmökel was arrested in an arbor in Saritsch. There was an exchange of fire. Schmökel had fled almost two weeks earlier in Strausberg , 150 kilometers away . The search for him had caused a stir throughout Germany.
Saritsch was an independent municipality until April 29, 1993; since 1936 the districts Loga , Pannewitz (with Weidlitz ) and Uebigau (with Krinitz ) belonged to the municipality.
Place name
The German place name is based on the older Sorbian. This is attributed to the geographical location of the place "behind the river" ( za rěčku ) black water. Jan Arnošt Smoler offered a more poetic interpretation based on a naming after zarěk ("the cursed / exiled").
Mansion
The Saritsch manor house in its current form was built in 1860 as a two-storey building with a hipped roof in the late classicist style with a uniform facade structure and arched windows.
There is a pigeon tower in the courtyard. After 1945 the building was used by the municipal administration as a cultural center and consumer outlet. Privately owned since 2009 (www.herrenhaus-saritsch.de)
Saritsch mill
Until 1977, Saritsch owned a post windmill built in 1733 on the north-western Windmühlenberg, which was in operation until 1940. Towards the end of the Second World War , the Mühlenberg served as an observation post. The mill was badly damaged in fighting, but restored in 1952/53 on the initiative of Theodor Schütze and consecrated on December 4, 1953. As part of the expansion of the clay pit there, the mill was dismantled and rebuilt on the Totenberg between Luga and Quoos . It can still be viewed there today.
population
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 122 inhabitants in the 1880s; 111 of them were Sorbs and eleven Germans. The language change towards German took place in Saritsch in the first half of the 20th century. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik only counted a Sorbian-speaking population of 33 percent in the community. Since then, the use of the Sorbian language in the village has continued to decline.
The believing residents are predominantly of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination. The place has been parish to Neschwitz since 1809; previously he belonged to the parish of Göda . Since 1908 there has been a chapel of the Neschwitz parish church in Saritsch; since 1931 also a cemetery.
Economy and Infrastructure
The Saritscher Agrar GmbH cultivates the fields in the area and uses u. a. old manor buildings.
