history

The place was first mentioned in 1186 as "Sivritthissare". Ernst Eichler interpreted this form as "Siegfriedssora". The actual place name was therefore preceded by the locator name Siegfried . The place name Sora is most likely derived from the Middle High German “sor”, which means “dry” / “arid” (see Söhrewald ). A distinction was made in the 14th century between “Sar magnum” (Latin for “large sora”) on the one hand and “Sar parvum” (Latin for “small sora”) or “Wenygin Sayr” (“little sora”) on the other Page. How these locations are to be demarcated can no longer be reconstructed. Eichler suspects that Kleinsora refers to the Kneipe district in the east of Sora. The place name changed over the centuries via the forms "Sar", "Sara", "Saraw" and "Soraw" to the current spelling, which was added in 1875 to distinguish it from the Wilthen district of the same name . Wilsdruff ”.

Around the village, whose inhabitants earned their income from agriculture, a 354 hectare forest hoofed field extended . The manorial rule was exercised by the respective owners of the Limbach manor ; for centuries, management was the responsibility of the Meissen estate . The Soraer church was a parish church around 1500 , it became a branch church of Limbach in the 16th century . From 1850 again parish church, it belongs since 1925 to Röhrsdorfer parish . In addition to the church, several other buildings in the village are protected as cultural monuments (see list of cultural monuments in Sora ). In 1856 Sora was part of the Wilsdruff court office and then joined the Meißen district administration , from which the district of the same name emerged. It lost its independence on March 1, 1974 when it was incorporated into Klipphausen. On July 1, 1950, Lampersdorf and Lotzen were incorporated into Sora.

In the district of Kneipe in the east of Sora, whose name goes back to a restaurant that was formerly close to the intersection and was viewed somewhat disparagingly, three cottagers lived in 1723 , in 1875 there were 21 residents in the pub and 18 in 1925.
