geography

Districts of the city of Sebnitz

The city of Sebnitz is located in the valley of the river Sebnitz and its side valleys between 250 and 460 m above sea level between Saxon Switzerland and the Lusatian mountains . In terms of nature, the urban area is located in the West Lusatian hills and mountains , but borders directly on the Upper Lusatian highlands . Since the natural area of ​​Saxon Switzerland is also very close, the landscape around the city is varied. Sebnitz's local mountain is the Tanzplan (Tanečnice) mountain , which is already in the Czech Republic . East of Sebnitz is Dolní Poustevna (Niedereinsiedel) in the Schluckenau tip .

The districts are Sebnitz, Altendorf , Lichtenhain , Mittelndorf , Ottendorf , Saupsdorf (all incorporated on October 1, 2012 as the Kirnitzschtal municipality founded on March 1, 1994 ), Schönbach (incorporated on December 1, 1935), Hofhainersdorf (incorporated on January 1, 1920 ), Amtshainersdorf (July 1, 1950), Hertigswalde (July 1, 1950) and Hinterhermsdorf (October 1, 1998 ). The district Hinterhermsdorf lies above the Kirnitzschtal about five kilometers southeast of the main town.

history

founding

Sebnitz is a foundation of German farmers from Franconia . The name is probably derived from Sebenica (= Finkenwaldbach ). The oldest documentary evidence for the brook was in the Upper Lusatian border document from 1223/1241, in which the ownership of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Diocese of Meißen were recorded. Between the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century, the square market square of the settlement was built as the center of the market settlement.

Development into an artificial flower city

The town hall, built in the middle of the market in 1714/15, was destroyed by fire in 1854. The shed-like house next to it, the meat banks (butchers' stalls) were destroyed by floods in 1804. Sebnitz was an agricultural town, d. H. Crafts, trade and agriculture were the livelihoods of the citizens. Linen weaving was the most important of the crafts. Since the 16th century, weavers have mostly worked on behalf of publishers (billing agents). They exported to many countries around the world. With the decline of hand-weaving, caused in particular by the industrialization of this branch of industry in England, the production of artificial flowers gained in importance due to the influence of German-Bohemian flower makers. In the middle of the 19th century the city had 4,000 inhabitants and 375 houses, in 1881 there were 6,354 inhabitants and in 1900 there were 8,648 inhabitants. On September 15, 1854, a major fire destroyed the entire town center and the traditional medieval townscape. A total of 72 houses, 42 barns and back buildings, the town hall and the school fell victim to the flames.

Sebnitzer Christmas tree decorations

From around 1870 to around 1910, Sebnitz was a center for the manufacture of Christmas tree decorations . Unlike in centers like Gablonz or Lauscha , the Sebnitz jewelry was made at home . In this case, soldered together iron wire scaffolding or shapes made of cardboard or cotton with materials such as perforated films were (punched Sequin , sheets) radicals, chenille , tinfoil , Plätt , tinsel , Kantillen (Bouillon wire, Leone wires), artificial flowers , Gablonzer hollow glass rods, glass beads, cardboard or scraps (cachets ) decorated. He could not hold his own against the industrially manufactured Christmas decorations, which is why production finally ceased.

Center of German artificial flower production

Sebnitz became the center of German artificial flower production around 1900. At that time there were over 200 small and large flower factories with permanent workers and thousands of home workers. On March 17, 1894, local researcher Alfred Meiche suggested setting up a local history museum in the local newspaper Grenzblatt . In the spring of 1908, the trade association took on the matter and the first exhibits were housed in the city school at the church. In 1909 an exhibition was set up and on May 23, 1909 the Sebnitz City Museum was opened, which was given new premises in 1930.

End of the Second World War

Mayor Steudner was removed from office on May 11, 1945 and the doctor Muder was appointed as the new mayor. On September 30, 1945, Sebnitz temporarily had 14,500 inhabitants due to the reception of many expellees and refugees. On November 12, 1945 Karl Seewald became the new mayor. On June 1, 1946, Sebnitz had 13,203 residents and 1,304 houses and 183 businesses. On February 16, 1948, 1847 children in 47 classes with 35 teachers attended primary school. On July 12, 1948, the Abitur was taken for the first time at the newly founded college for business and administration . During the GDR times, VEB Kunstblume Sebnitz was one of the largest employers in the region. In addition, VEB Hebezeugwerk Sebnitz was located in the city, which in 1950 took over the site of the former Sebnitz paper factory and manufactured cranes there.

Administrative division in the GDR

The postal code of the city of Sebnitz in the GDR was the number 8360. The municipality number of the city was 121530 - Dresden district - Sebnitz district - The size class (GK) of the city was 14.

After the turn

However, after the reunification of Germany and the introduction of the market economy in the new federal states, many industrial companies had to close. Today there is only a small amount of flowers , especially in show workshops , as the regional expression for the production of artificial flowers at home is called. In January 2002, Hinterhermsdorf was awarded the gold medal in the 20th national competition at the Green Week in Berlin. Our village should be more beautiful - our village has a future . In 2003, Sebnitz hosted the Saxon Day . In August 2008, the former border clearance systems to the neighboring Dolní Poustevna / Niedereinsiedel were removed.

Changes in the organizational structure since 1952

In 1952, Sebnitz became the district town of the Sebnitz district . Sebnitz lost this status in the course of a regional reform in 1994 . In 1995 Sebnitz became a major district town . The neighboring community of Kirnitzschtal was incorporated into Sebnitz on October 1, 2012. As a result of the incorporation, the Hinterhermsdorf exclave , which was incorporated on October 1, 1998, got a direct connection to the urban area again.

Media scandal in November 2000

In November 2000, the city of Sebnitz hit the headlines nationwide. On the basis of testimonies, which an expert opinion by the criminalist Christian Pfeiffer classified as credible, many media reported that the six-year-old Joseph Kantelberg-Abdullah was drowned on June 13, 1997 by racist German youths in an outdoor pool in Sebnitz and hundreds of guests did not intervene. The Dresden Public Prosecutor's Office then issued arrest warrants for three suspects. The actual cause of death of the boy was a heart attack while swimming, followed by drowning, triggered by a congenital heart defect , which was concealed by the mother during the investigation , as Der Spiegel reported in January 2001. The events surrounding the boy's death led to months of intensive nationwide reporting, during which the then Chancellor Gerhard Schröder received the boy's mother.

The film director Volker Schlöndorff was also interested in the supposed material. Shortly before the real cause of death was discovered, the city council passed a 66-point catalog (How to continue in Sebnitz?) , In which the city summarized demands totaling 34 million DM . In addition to preventive youth projects, the document called for the state government to renovate the railway line to Bad Schandau (20 million DM), a weather station (20,000 DM) and press trips for editors-in-chief to dialogue with young people from Sebnitz (50,000 DM).

Flood 2010

On August 6, 2010, heavy rains began over the area of ​​Sebnitz, whereupon the city's river of the same name rose sharply, as a result of which the market flooded and made it almost inaccessible. In addition, several cellars were full and streets were flooded. Within days the water receded and showed the extent of the damage. Most of the market had been badly damaged. The resumption of classes at Sebnitz schools was originally planned for August 9th, but had to be postponed to August 11th due to the inaccessibility of the market and the way to school.

775th anniversary of the city of Sebnitz

For the 775th anniversary of the city of Sebnitz, a large city festival took place from June 17 to 19, 2016. The highlights were a historical parade with many depictions of the settlement history, the development of the city and its districts. At the end of the three-day celebrations, a 50-meter high-mast motorcycle show by the Wisdom siblings took place on the historic market square, followed by a fireworks display.

116th German Hiking Day - Fresh up!

The 116th German Hiking Day took place in Sebnitz from June 24th to June 27th, 2016 . Program highlights during these days were many cultural events on the town's market square, with a parade of 58 hiking clubs. It is customary for the pennant of the German Hiking Association to be carried from town to town like the “ Olympic flame ”. In 2017, a hiking group from Sebnitz will carry the pennant on foot to Eisenach , the next host city.

During his visit on June 26, 2016, Federal President Joachim Gauck was received in Sebnitz with aggressive chants such as "Get out of here" and "Traitor to the people". The incident made headlines nationwide. Mayor Mike Ruckh said after the visit that he and the Federal President had prepared for such incidents. About "90 percent of the mob" did not come from the city. The overwhelming majority of Sebnitz citizens and visitors welcomed Federal President Gauck, who attended the 116th German Hiking Days as patron, with warm joy and applause.
