history
The place name Seifersdorf was first mentioned in 1335 as "Syffridisdorf". It is of German origin and means "village of a Sigfrid ", so it refers to a locator name . Analogous to this, the place names of numerous villages in the area, including Lotzdorf , Cunnersdorf and Hermsdorf, were formed . The forms “Syfirstorf”, “Seifferschdorff” and “Seifferstorff” have survived from later times. In order to be able to distinguish Seifersdorf from places of the same name in Saxony, it was referred to as “Seifersdorf b. Radeberg ”. In September 2018 the local chronicle was published under the title "Seifersdorf bei Radeberg".
The oldest traces of settlement in the corridor are the remains of a Bronze Age castle rampart on the castle hill. Seifersdorf was then created in the course of the German East Settlement through clearing in the middle of a contiguous forest area, which consisted of Friedewald , Karswald , Massenei , Dresdner , Laußnitzer and Königsbrücker Heide , among others . The residents of Seifersdorf lived mainly from agriculture ; they managed 13 hooves of 16 to 24 bushels each . The two-row village was surrounded in 1900 by an 839 hectare forest hoof-like striped field .
Seifersdorf is on the old salt and glass road over the Steinberg.
A parish church already existed in the village around 1500 . For centuries, the manorial rule in the place was exercised by the owners of the Seifersdorfer Rittergut , mentioned in 1454 , from which Seifersdorf Castle , which was last redesigned from 1819 to 1823 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the English neo-Gothic style, emerged .
In Seifersdorf there are two memorials to those who fell in World War I and World War II. The one for World War I was laid out in front of the rectory. Between 1914 and 1918, 31 men were killed or were considered missing. The memorial for World War II was officially opened in 2003 on the day of national mourning at the Seifersdorfer cemetery in the presence of many affected families by the former Seifersdorfer pastor and OLKR i. R. Dieter Auerbach inaugurated. Between 1939 and 1945, 100 men were killed or were considered missing.
In 2015, a Seifersdorfer resident acquired the building of the former Gasthof Zum Treuenhund and has been renovating it since then according to monument protection regulations. Since the Open Monument Day in 2018 , the scaffolding at the Brühlschen Obergasthof , as it was previously called, has been dismantled. Interior construction work is currently still necessary until the building including the outdoor facilities has been completely repaired.
Castle and Church
Seifersdorf belonged to three large families from 1460 to 1945, whose history is directly related to the castle and the Seifersdorfer church. In the old church there was already a box for the patronage family, which was also found in the new building. From 1460 the von Haugwitz family, who came from the Nossen region, was in Seifersdorf. The family was heavily in debt before the von Grünrodt family from Liptitz near Wermsdorf / Saxony took over rule in 1585 . In 1747, Hans Georg von Grünrodt died without any descendants as the last of his family. Seifersdorf passed to Heinrich von Brühl , who had been entitled to Seifersdorf from 1731. The Brühls were there until 1945.
Coats of arms of the families at Seifersdorfer Castle and in the church
A marriage coat of arms from 1531 with a ram's head for Haugwitz / Schlieben for the Haugwitz family at the castle on the right front. Margaretha von Schlieben came from the Pulsnitz house. In the church there is a tombstone in the left area of the altar with a kneeling knight and his wife: "The only testimony from the century of the Reformation is the tomb of Jobst von Haugwitz (around 1533-1579) and his wife under the pulpit. It bears witness the coat of arms of the families Schleinitz, Gränsing, Schlieben, Haugwitz, Miltitz, Geismar, Staupitz, Hundt of the contemporary importance and the rich relationship of the family. A Haugwitz was also the last Catholic bishop of Saxony.… The Chancellor and later Bishop of Naumburg Georg I von Haugwitz was enfeoffed with Seifersdorf by Elector Friedrich II as early as 1461. The feudal law mentions Kirchlehn and "Altar of Barbara" in 1465. Saint Barbara was a martyr of the persecution of Christians in the 3rd century.
To the left of the main portal of the castle is a coat of arms with a jumping dog for the von Grünrodt family (Grünrade). This coat of arms can also be found in the courtyard of the palace as well as the plaque with the initials WDVG 1625 for Wolff Dittrich von Grünrodt II. The Seifersdorfer Church was built in 1604 by Wolff Dittrich I von Grünrodt. The builder of the church can be found with a man-high knight sculpture to the left of the altar and receives a thank you wreath every year at the church fair. The church is still a burial place for the von Grünrodt family today. The knight kneeling in the altar is Dittrich von Grünrodt, who came from Liptitz in 1586 and took over Seifersdorf. The jumping dog from the Grünrodt coat of arms can be found several times in the Seifersdorfer church. The Grünrodts were buried in the crypt in the Seifersdorfer church until 1811. Then the remains were placed in a grave at the northern church with the inscription: remains of the Grünrodt family, 1811.
The crypt was needed for Hans Moritz von Brühl, who died in Seifersdorf in 1811. For him and his wife Tina, who died in 1816, the right panel of the crypt in the church was let on the floor in the altar area. In 1837 the crypt slab for Carl von Brühl, the artistic director of the royal theaters in Berlin, followed immediately. There are other graves of the von Brühl family around the church. The family coat of arms of the von Brühl family is an angle. This can be found in the castle portal and in several places on the castle and church.
In 1892, the last Count of Seifersdorf, Karl Brühl-Renard, together with his wife donated the large donor window in the church. The couple's family coat of arms can also be found there. At the same time, there were major renovations in the castle. The stucco and wooden coffered ceilings that still exist today were pulled in and the theater hall expanded in favor of servant apartments.
The last Seifersdorfer Countess Agnes von Brühl-Renard was the chairwoman of the church council until 1945. Her husband Karl von Brühl-Renard was the co-founder and founder of the Kleinwachau Epileptic Asylum, today Kleinwachau - Saxon Epilepsy Center Radeberg . He was head of the house until his death in 1923.
The Seifersdorfer parish belongs to the parish Radeberger Land of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony .
There is a Luther cross on the Steinberg.
The Seifersdorfer Valley
location
The valley, named after the town of Seifersdorf, is a cut of the Großer Röder on the western edge of the Westlausitzer Platte , it begins in Liegau-Augustusbad at the Grundmühle and extends to Grünberg (district of Ottendorf-Okrilla). The Seifersdorfer Tal landscape garden with its memorials for family members of the von Brühl family and friends of the Weimar district ( Gottfried Herder , Duchess Anna Amalia von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and other friends Johann Gottlieb Naumann ) was laid out by Christina von Brühl from 1781. Her only son, Carl von Brühl , later continued his mother's work.
As a result of various regional reforms after the fall of the Wall, the landscape garden is now in the Seifersdorf, Liegau-Augustusbad, Schönborn and Grünberg districts, with the largest part being in the Seifersdorf and Schönborn districts.
The Landesverein Sächsischer Heimatschutz e. V. acquired the entire area of the historic core valley with the monuments after reunification and commissioned the Seifersdorfer Thal e. V. with the further maintenance of the landscape garden. The rest of the space is privately owned.
Mills in the Seifersdorfer Valley
There are several mills in the valley:
- the Grundmühle, which today belongs to Liegau-Augustusbad;
- the Marienmühle in the center of the landscape garden, a restaurant is currently to be set up again;
- the former Niedermühle, which used to be a paper mill, was used as a labor camp from 1934 to 1936 . Then the first NSDAP district school was set up in what was then Gau Sachsen . From 1940 over 200 Bessarabian Germans were housed there for a year before they were brought to Poland . In the last months of the war and afterwards, the former school was used as a resettler and expellee camp. Later physical education for Seifersdorfer and Wachau students took place there. Today the entire area has largely fallen into disrepair;
- the Kunathmühle (former board mill ) belongs to Schönborn. All that remains of the former mill is the chimney, which was secured on site.
Management of the place
The administration of the place was incumbent on the Dresden office until the middle of the 19th century . From 1856 Seifersdorf belonged to the Radeberg court office and then came to the Dresden administration . On the basis of the rural community code of 1838 , Seifersdorf gained its independence as a rural community . From 1952 it belonged to the Dresden-Land district , after its dissolution then to the Kamenz district and since 2008 to the Bautzen district . In 1994 Seifersdorf merged with Leppersdorf and Wachau to form the large community of Wachau. It is not a matter of incorporation, but rather of a voluntary association.
