history

Location of the former Sohra Castle, Vorwerkring

The Waldhufendorf was at the investiture , wrote the Johannishospital Freiberg Sohra Zarowe , 1295 first mentioned. Other historical place names are 1365 Sarowe , 1407 Saraw , 1445 die Sore , 1450 Sora and can denote a place with swamp grass or reeds, but also mean a place with black poplars and slash and burn.

After 1663 the hospital sold most of its corridors. In 1696 the village belonged to the Freiberg council. The administrative districts of the state were the Freiberg administration in 1445, the Freiberg electoral or royal Saxon district office around 1696 to 1856 , then the Freiberg court office from 1856 and, after the judiciary and administration were separated in 1875, the Freiberg administration . Since 1539 the village belongs to the parish of Oberbobritzsch .

The village once had three mills driven by the Sohrbach, two grinding mills and a cutting mill. In the Sohrmühle near the railway line to Dresden and Chemnitz , already mentioned in the so-called Humelius Riss of the Tharandt Forest from 1557 to 1562, near the railway line to Dresden and Chemnitz , warm-blooded animals were bred and trained for riding and driving tourism. The former three-sided Mühlenhof from 1866 was renovated from 1996 to 2000 and the residential building was converted into two residential units.

The upper part of the Sohra corridor with the corridor name Vorwerk was allegedly in the possession of Sohra Castle, which is no longer available today and is only mentioned in local tradition . It is said to have been from Sohra to Pretzschendorf . It is likely to be associated with the weir system in the Oberbobritzsch village hall. In August Schumann's State Lexicon of Saxony (1824) the following is mentioned about Sohra Castle:

[…] The old Sohra Castle, whose Wendish name (Zarow) […] was almost 1/4 hour above the village, […] on the way from Pretschendorf to Oberbobritzsch; now it is difficult for the stranger to find, since only ramparts and ditches are left, but these are completely covered with bushes. But still to the end of the before. One could clearly see the beautiful cellars along with some walls, and even an ancient fresco painting in one place . At that time, the residents brought a lot of building blocks here; an iron door came into the Oberbobritzsch church; [...]

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Sohra came to the Freiberg district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Freiberg from 1990 and was added to the district of Central Saxony in 2008.

On April 1, 1974 Sohra was incorporated into Oberbobritzsch. The merger as the rural community of Bobritzsch took place on March 1, 1994 with Naundorf , Oberbobritzsch and Niederbobritzsch, as a result of which Sohra became part of Bobritzsch. With the dissolution of the Bobritzsch community, Sohra came to the Bobritzsch-Hilbersdorf community on January 1, 2012.
