geography

Steinbach is located in the northwest of the Moritzburg municipality. It is located about six kilometers northwest of the central district of Moritzburg. To the west, the Steinbach district borders on the Niederau district of Großdobritz (Buschhaus area) and Oberau (Mistschänke / Oberauer Neuteich area ), and to the south is the community of Weinböhla with the Neuer Cultivation district (Heidehof area). To the east of Steinbach is the Radeburg district of Bärwalde . To the north, the district of Naunhof borders the municipality of Ebersbach .

The Bindebach flows through the village itself; in the south of the Steinbacher Flur rises the Hopfenbach , which flows into the Große Röder at Großenhain . It and its tributaries are dammed into four ponds southeast of the locality. Together they form, named after the largest pond, the Köckritz pond group of Moritzburg ponds . Steinbach has a share in the Friedewald and Moritzburg pond area , parts of the corridor are forested. Much of the land around Steinbach is used for agriculture .

In the north of the corridor lies the center of Steinbach with the church and cemetery along the “Dorfstraße”. Single-family housing estates are located on Zehnweg, Mistschänkenweg (" Schwedensiedlung "), Krippenweg and Grossenhainer Straße. There is an Albert Schweitzer Children's Village on the Kriegholz . The regional traffic Dresden serves several stops in Steinbach. The state road 177 leads directly north past the local situation as a connection between Meißen and Radeberg .

history

The "old Mool", location of a former moated castle

In Steinbach there are remains of a medieval moated castle known as the "Old Mool" . The up to three meter high ring wall (80 meters in diameter), a flat hill in the middle of the castle as well as moat and dam systems can still be recognized . Excavation work unearthed ceramic material and tile remains from the 15th and 16th centuries and medieval shards, including a spherical vessel from around the second half of the 13th century.

Steinbach was first mentioned in a document dated March 4, 1250. Margrave Friedrich der Strenge enfeoffed Hermann Koraz with the village in 1361. A Vorwerk was mentioned in 1441. Nickel von Köckeritz exercised the manorial rule in 1459 . This position was then held by members of the Meissnian noble families Schönfeld and Miltitz who were seated at Naunhof . At the beginning of 1547 Steinbach passed to the Elector Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous and initially belonged to the Hayn office , only to be reclassified a little later to the Moritzburg office of the Meißnische Kreis . In the middle of the 16th century the parishes of Steinbach and Naunhof were also merged.

On the 718 hectare (as of 1900) large field, the inhabitants of the Waldhufendorf mainly farmed and raised cattle. Fish farming in the ponds near Steinbach also played a role. Until the 19th century there were other ponds east of the village, including the Rohrteich and the Großer and Kleiner Schönbergteich. The name of the latter two waters goes back to the settlement of Schönberg, which fell into desolation in the 14th century and was once located nearby.

Based on the rural community code of 1838 , Steinbach gained independence as a rural community . From 1875 it was part of the administrative authority of Großenhain . After it belonged to the district of Dresden in 1950 , Steinbach was added to the district of Meißen as part of a district reform on July 25, 1952 , to become part of the Dresden-Land district on December 4, 1952 . On January 1, 1996, it was incorporated into the Moritzburg community and, due to the simultaneous dissolution of the Dresden district, it was incorporated into the Meißen-Radebeul district , from which the Meißen district emerged .

From the end of the 19th century, the settlements on Zehnweg and Grossenhainer Strasse were built, and in 1912 the Moritzburg Brothers' Institution had the Heidehof built, a craft station for those who were difficult to educate. Steinbach was on the route when, from 1924 to 1926, the Dresden Motorcycle Club (DMC) held three large triangular rides on the Moritzburg triangle, which was a forerunner of the Grillenburger triangle . Steinbach has been on the state monuments list since 1936 . In August 1952, four farmers forcibly evacuated from the border area as part of Aktion X were settled in Steinbach and Zottewitz . An Albert Schweitzer Children's Village was built in 1995 and 1996, and numerous single-family houses were built at two locations at the same time. As a result, the number of inhabitants rose sharply and is around 1000 (as of 2006).
