The location is at a height of about 280  m above sea level. NN and clearly exceeds the valley floor of the Elbe . The terrain slopes slowly to the east towards the Elbe valley . Steinbach is located on the Zschonerbach , which enters the Zschonergrund a little further east . The district of Steinbach has retained its village character, although there is a motorway immediately to the east of the village. There are several residential buildings outside of the village center on Grundstrasse , in which several four-sided courtyards have been preserved. The extensive, agriculturally used areas are characteristic.

Neighboring districts are the other Dresden districts Unkersdorf and Roitzsch in the north, Podemus in the east , which is already part of the Mobschatz village , and Zöllmen and Pennrich in the south. The Wilsdruffer district of Kesselsdorf borders in the southwest .

Similar to the Zöllmener, the Steinbacher Flur is also cut in the middle by the route of the A17 , which runs here in a north-south direction and bridges the Zschonergrund. The village center is mainly connected to the surrounding districts by the Grundstrasse and the parallel district road 6240.

history

The original Waldhufendorf Steinbach was first mentioned in 1361 with its current spelling. The place name is of German origin and refers to the location of the place on the Zschonergrundbach; The name of the Dresden district Kemnitz , which comes from the Slavic language , at its confluence with the Elbe, also means Steinbach. In 1378 the village is referred to as Steynbach and in 1403 again as Steinbach . To distinguish it from the many other places with this name - there are seven more in Saxony alone - it had the addition of bei Kesselsdorf in 1875 .

The area around Steinbach was settled as early as the Bronze Age , as evidenced by various finds from the area. In 1922, a Roman bronze coin with the likeness of Emperor Constantine II , which dates from the 4th century, was discovered on the Steinbacher Flur. Steinbach itself was not founded until the time of the German settlement in the east , i.e. in the 13th century. To the east, probably near the Schulzenmühle , was the now desolate place Zschon , after which the Zschoner Grund was named. The elongated shape of the Steinbach district, which extends far to the east, can also be explained by the fact that the corridors passed from Zschon to Steinbach.

Steinbach was located on the old connection between the Altzella monastery near Nossen and Leubnitz , a district in the south of Dresden. In the 14th century, the residents of the Meissen Lorenzhospital and the Dresden office were subject to interest. In the years 1445 and 1539 a Vorwerk is mentioned in Steinbach . As early as the middle of the 16th century it is documented that Steinbach was divided into two parts; this lasted for another 300 years and also led to a division into an area belonging to the Dresden office and an area belonging to the Meissen office .

In the somewhat larger part, which belonged to the Scharfenberg manor and thus to that of Miltitz , Hufner farmed arable land . The smaller part was initially subordinate to the branch of the von Schönberg family , who sat on the Rothschönberg manor , and consisted of cottagers who were engaged in viticulture and fruit-growing . By dividing the estate , the manorial rule over the Schönberg district passed to Hans Heinrich von Schönberg , who had recently acquired the Maxen manor, together with the nearby Leuteritz in 1691 . Even Adam Rudolph von Schönberg , the last Postmaster General at the Electoral Saxon court in Dresden, in the 18th century was one of the people Ritzer landlords .

Steinbach and its neighboring villages around 1821

Initially, Steinbach was completely parish into Briesnitz , but the division meant that the greater part of the village was subordinated to the Unkersdorfer parish . Since 1902, both parts have belonged to the Unkersdorf parish. Agriculture dominated as the occupation branch of the residents; a windmill was also operated in the village. In the middle of the 18th century, wars severely affected the village. Steinbach was in the middle of the battlefield of the Battle of Kesselsdorf . During the Seven Years' War , Prussian troops burned down several farms, which then lay desolate for several years. There were also fighting in Steinbach during the Wars of Liberation .

As a result of the introduction of the Saxon rural community order , Steinbach also received the status of a rural community with corridors stretching over 155 hectares. For this purpose, both parts of the village were united and jointly subordinated to the Wilsdruff court office and, from the end of the 19th century, to the administrative authority of Meissen . Only a few years after the Second World War did Steinbach lose its independence. On July 1, 1950, it was incorporated with Roitzsch to Unkersdorf and came as part of this community in 1974 to Gompitz, which was enlarged by Ockerwitz in 1993 . With the dissolution of the Dresden-Land district on January 1, 1996, Steinbach became part of the Meißen district . On January 1, 1999, it was finally incorporated into Dresden . The construction of the A17 motorway, against which several opponents of the motorway demonstrated between 1997 and 1999 in a hut village between Steinbach and Zöllmen, took place around 2000.
