Skoplau has been a district of the city of Colditz in the Leipzig district in Saxony since 2011 , previously the place was a district of Zschadraß .

Location and accessibility

Skoplau is about 6 km northeast of the city of Colditz. After a landslide in 1978 the state road 44 leading through the village was closed, and since then there has been no direct road connection between Colditz and the district of Skoplau. Skoplau can be reached via a detour via the Colditz district of Podelwitz . In mid-2013, the section of the S 44 between the junction to Podelwitz and the Skoplau location was completely expanded. The part between the exit in the direction of Colditz and the junction of the K 8394 district road to Meuselwitz was, however, not passable for another two and a half years because further security measures had to be taken due to underground movements. This section reopened on December 11, 2015 after over 37 years of closure.

history

As a settlement, Skoplau was first mentioned in documents in 1265 under the name Zcopolowe . On July 1, 1950, Skoplau was incorporated into Commichau. With its 35 inhabitants, Skoplau is one of the smallest districts of the city of Colditz.
