Seidewinkel , Upper Sorbian , is a village in the East Saxon region of Upper Lusatia . It is part of the Elsterheide community and is in the Bautzen district .
Geography and history
Seidewinkel is about one kilometer north of the city of Hoyerswerda and is part of the Sorbian settlement area .
As far as we know today, Seidewinkel (Židźino) was first mentioned in a certificate issued in Prague on March 28, 1401 - the Monday after Palmarum . The document in question was formerly in the Wroclaw State Archives and is considered a war loss. It is contained in Oberlausitz Contributions - Festschrift for Richard Jecht , Görlitz 1938, page 230.
Heinrich von der Duba exercised (according to Knothe ) his hereditary rights until 1441. Through wars, marriage, sale or pledging, the rule of Hoyerswerda and thus also Seidewinkel was subject to a wide variety of governments and dominions - at times it belonged to Bohemia (and thus from 1469 to 1493 to Hungary), Saxony or Prussia .
At that time the place was probably further west in an arch of the Black Elster . The river often brought floods, from which the village population and their arable land suffered. Therefore, the farmers later laid out their farms in the current location.
The inhabitants of the village had to do the Schloss-Vorwerk Hoyerswerda service. "If someone came out of the rulership, the judge had to take care of them himself." In 1744 the Kullmann Chronicle for Seidewinkel u. a. two judges' estates, the Kullmann Chronicle for 1852 four inheritant estates.
After the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the area of the rule Hoyerswerda became part of Prussia, initially to the province of Brandenburg . In 1825 Hoyerswerda was incorporated into the Liegnitz administrative district in the province of Silesia as an independent district .
Seidewinkel formed an administrative community with Nardt and Bergen-Neuwiese from January 1, 1991 to June 30, 1995 , but was a largely independent municipality with an honorary mayor.
On July 1, 1995, Seidewinkel and eight other communities merged to form the municipality of Elsterheide with its administrative headquarters in Bergen . In addition to the development of the infrastructure and the joint tasks in mine rehabilitation, the rural status and thus the customs and traditions in the individual districts are to be preserved.
With the different types of his costumes and the church administration, Seidewinkel belongs to the parish of Hoyerswerda (parish of the Johanneskirche Hoyerswerda ).
Place name
The spelling of the place name changed over the centuries from Sydewinkel (1401), Seydewingkil (1462) and Seydewinckel (1568) to today's German, and via Schidziny (1800) and Zidźin (1831) to today's Sorbian. The name very likely indicates a village in the corner between two watercourses, analogous to similar Sorbian place names such as Židow , derived from žid - "liquid".
In the chronicle of Pastor Salomon Gottlob Frentzel we find in 1744: "It takes its name from dczi denuko, is that, go into the corner, it is as if in a corner, against the wood." In Kullmann-Verlag it says 1852: "Seidewinkel was otherwise further west not far from the Elster, to the left of the current dam, where a fairly large piece of land enclosed with water on two sides (equal to an angle) is still called 'stare' (old)." Jan Meschgang explains the name however, in place names of Upper Lusatia 1973 as follows: “Seidewinkel seems to have been the place of a Seidel in the corner, i. H. apart in the Hoyerswerda forest behind the Black Elster. Seidel is a short form of Siegfried. "
Population and language
For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 408 in the 1880s, including 407 Sorbs and only one German. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population of 73.3%. Since then, the use of Sorbian in the village has continued to decline.
However, some old Sorbian customs still determine village life today. These include the zamping and the carnival beer drinking of men during the carnival season . The annual witch burning follows on April 30th and the maypole throwing in May .
Townscape
The center of the village is the square around the peace oak and the fountain. Seidewinkel has a football field, a volleyball court, a children's playground, a cemetery, a small chapel and a restaurant.
