history

Schmorkau was first mentioned in a document in 1342. The place name probably comes from the Sorbian word šmrók (today's standard: šmrěk ) for "spruce". For a long time, the street green village was divided into two parts with a corridor along the Otterbach. To the right of the brook was the Upper Lusatian side, the Meissner side to the left of the stream formed an exclave of the Mark Meissen within Upper Lusatia . Administratively, the Meissen side belonged to the Stolpen office ; the Upper Lusatian side since 1777 to the Bautzen district and from 1843 to the regional court district of Bautzen.
With the reorganization of the Saxon administrative structures, both Schmorkau Meißner Seite and Schmorkau Oberlausitzer Seite were assigned to the Königsbrück court office in 1856 and to the Kamenz administration in 1875 . In 1890, both rural communities were united to form the community of Schmorkau, which remained an independent community until 1994.
The most striking buildings in town are the Protestant church and the castle. The castle in its current form was built in 1898, with the history of the castle and park complex going back at least to the 18th century. Approx. In 1910 it passed from private ownership to the property of the German Reich. In the following period it was used as a hospital for the Königsbrück military training area. After the withdrawal of the Soviet troops in 1992, the castle stood empty for years before it was taken over and gutted by the Neukirch community in 1998 . From 2002 to 2017 it was managed by the private Schloss-Schmorkau renovation and operator company, which had set up a museum (postcards, photography) and a gallery in the building.
With 492 inhabitants, the village is the largest part of the Neukirch community; the population has been largely constant over the past two years. There is also a lively club life in Schmorkau. A fisherman's festival takes place the day before German Unity Day.
Even at carnival time, the Schmorkauer Karnevalsclub e. V. Carnival events carried out. The carnival club has a long tradition; carnival has been celebrated in Schmorkau since 1972.
