The name of the settlement was originally "Neudörfel am Streitwald", as the New Alphabetical Directory of Places published in 1837 shows, but adds that the place is usually called Streitwald. The name Streitwald existed even before houses were built, as can be seen from Christian Gottlob Wabst's work “Historische Nachrichten”, published in 1732, with this description: “The Streitwald, a piece of Holtz that borders up to Stollberg, is also Chur- Saxon loan pieces. "

history

Streitwald is a street village with several alleys, which was created on the northeastern adjacent, first mentioned forest area ym Streitholcze . This name probably came about due to the fact that a dispute over the forest between the Schönburgers on Hartenstein and the Niederzwönitz manor on the one hand and the Grünhain monastery on the other, ended in 1476 with an agreement and the setting of a three-layer stone. In 1582 the Hartstein part of the wooded area came to the Lichtenstein branch of the Schönburg family. When a game fence was being set up, they had a gate built near the top of Affalter near where there was a forester's house in 1603.

According to a legend, the name Streitwald is said to have originated after an attempt by the abbot of the Grünhain monastery to appropriate the forest, which belonged to the Schönburg possessions while the Schönburg lords were on a crusade. The abbot died over this attempt. His successor met with those who had returned from the crusade in the open fields and came to an understanding with them. A peace stone was set up at this point. According to popular belief, because of the ordination by a Grünhainer abbot, in powdered form, he bestowed miraculous powers in the event of physical suffering. The forest has been called Streitwald since the agreement.

Christian Lehmann reports that in Streitwald a “miracle fountain” was set in “work pieces” in 1608. "The fountain's real strength and virtue comes from a rich silver corridor".

After the winter 1714/15 "gypsies" multiply the forester's house Streitwald had visited and had left his life in the military site clearance, a 24-year-old uninvolved Koehler, were of Otto Wilhelm von Schoenburg the beautiful Burgi's rule from 1715 forest as the owner of parcels to clearing and House building provided, from which a housing estate developed. The names Neudörffgen or Streithäußer were used for the small settlement in 1723 . In 1750 there were already 28 cottages here. In 1821 August Schumann wrote in his Staats-, Post- und Zeitungslexikon about the development of Streitwald a. a .: “ Neudörfel, located on the Streitwalde near Lößnitz, is also often called Streitwald. About a hundred years ago there was only a single forester's house on this site, and only then was it gradually added. “He continues:“ Neudörfel has around 60 houses and 300 residents who are parish in Lößnitz, and among whom is a princely forester. In the south it collides with Affalter, and in the hallways it borders with the Grünhainer and Stollberger districts. "The population structure was different due to the cottagers fundamentally those of Waldhufen villages low- and Oberaffalter. In addition to modest agriculture, the residents were mainly weavers, stocking weavers and quarry workers. In the so-called Albrechtsche Schieferbruch there was a horse peg around 1860 .

Church, school and incorporation

Streitwald used to be parish in Lößnitz, but believers now go to church in Affalter.

Streitwald already had a "secondary school" before 1845. A school building of its own was set up in 1863, but only used until it was incorporated into Affalter. This took place on April 1, 1939. Together with Affalter, Streitwald came to the city of Lößnitz on January 1, 1999.
