Location of the community Schöpstal in the district of Görlitz

Schöpstal ( Upper Sorbian Šepcowy Doł ) is a municipality in the district of Görlitz in the east of the Free State of Saxony . Schöpstal belongs to the administrative association Weißer Schöps / Neisse . It consists of the villages Ebersbach, Girbigsdorf, Kunnersdorf and Liebstein.

Geography and traffic

The municipality of Schöpstal is located in the eastern part of the district of Görlitz and borders the district town of Görlitz . The districts along the Weißen Schöps are classic Waldhufendörfer .

Schöpstal is cut in the northeast by the federal highway 115 and the federal highway 4 . The former railway line to the Königshain quarries , which had a train station in Ebersbach, has been converted into a cycle path. In the north-east, the Berlin – Görlitz railway line and the eastern end of Bundesstraße 6 touch the municipality.

The Weisse Schöps runs through the community from south to north, in a partly deeply cut river valley that narrows to less than 100 m between Ebersbach and Kunnersdorf and is enclosed by increasingly steep slopes. The agriculturally used areas on both sides of the Schöps have a heavy but fertile clay soil which, however, tends to become wet. For this reason, the agricultural cooperative in Ebersbach is one of the pioneering companies in ploughless tillage in Saxony. Hardly any remains of the original hoof division have survived after the move to a large block corridor . The Königshain Mountains rise near Liebstein in the west .

history

The district Girbigsdorf is first mentioned in 1282, Ebersbach 1285, Kunnersdorf 1319 and Liebstein 1330. The villages Girbigsdorf, Ebersbach and Kunnersdorf were created as Waldhufendörfer as early as the first half of the 13th century in the course of the German settlement in the east . Even before the settlement in the east there must have been a thin settlement on the Schöps, as the existence of Slavic or early German castle walls in Liebstein and Ebersbach shows. In addition, tithe income from the Wenceslas Church in Jauernick from Ebersbach and Kunnersdorf has been handed down. These could come from a time when the Jauernicker Großpfarrei looked after the entire surrounding area, and did not expire when the parish of Ebersbach or later its Kunnersdorf branch was established after the settlement of the places under German law. Only in Liebstein has the original form of the village and corridor of a round hamlet with a block corridor been preserved .

A stay of the then Ascanian sovereign Otto V in Ebersbach in 1285 and the not entirely credible report of Duke Johann von Görlitz's escape from angry citizens of the city to Ebersbach suggest that Ebersbach, like the nearby Königshain, was sovereign property and perhaps around 1200 belonged to the domain around Reichenbach.

As the first proven noble owners of Ebersbach, “Vraw Else Bischoffswerdyne and Hans, ir son zu Ebirspach” appear in the Görlitz Liber acticatorum in the first years of the 15th century . Their connection to the von Bischofswerde family in Görlitz, which was often documented as early as the 14th century, is unclear and could then be described as ministerial . In any case, those from Bischofswerde auf Ebersbach had a close relationship with the city of Görlitz. The named Hans von Bischofswerde was still captain of the Nikolaiviertel during the Hussite Wars. Even then and back in 1509 the family owned a house in Nikolaigasse. In 1528 two brothers from Bischofwerde are referred to as "some of Gorlitz Mitburgere" and they also occasionally married their daughters to Görlitz patrician sons .

Their manorial rule extended to Ebersbach and Kunnersdorf. Ebersbach they had due to inheritances two outworks in own economy , the "upper and nidern stone Stock" . In addition, they were court lords and patron saints of the Ebersbacher church and its Kunnersdorfer branch. From a local historical perspective, the conflicts are also of relevance, in which they in 1449 with the von Gersdorf auf Königshain around certain watercourses, in 1467 with their own pastor around the beer bar and the Kunnersdorfer branch and in 1511 with the city of Görlitz, which prevented them from importing foreign beers, were involved. In 1491, because of the murder of the Ebersbach pastor, the interdict was placed over the entire district.

In Girbigsdorf, the von Bischofswerde also owned a farm, whose pertinence included not only possessed people, but also the mill and a quarter of the court revenue as well as the district of Rosenfeld (Ober-Girbigsdorf). Otherwise, the Görlitzer Hospital in Girbigsdorf had already owned the Görlitzer Hospital at the end of the 13th century, and Görlitzer patricians had also owned it from the middle of the 15th century. In 1544 a bridge triggered a dispute with Görlitz.

In 1584 the von Bischofswerde sold Ebersbach to Job von Salza . The Girbigsdorf property remained as a dowry until her death in the possession of Katharina Plaunitz, a born von Bischofswerde, and in 1608 went to her nephew Siegmund von Hermsdorf. In 1613, Job von Salza founded a diaconate to look after the Kunnersdorf chapel.

During the Hussite Wars , the Thirty Years 'War , the Seven Years' War and the Liberation War , the places of the Schöpstal were affected.

Between 1952 and 1955, agricultural production cooperatives were founded in Girbigsdorf, Ebersbach and Kunnersdorf ( Liebstein was incorporated from Königshain to Kunnersdorf in 1950) .

On January 1, 1994, the communities of Ebersbach, Girbigsdorf and Kunnersdorf merged to form the new community of Schöpstal. On January 1, 1999, the moat settlement was separated from Schöpstal and incorporated into Görlitz.
