history

Municipal administration of Striegistal in Etzdorf

From the settlement to the Reformation

The majority of the villages were founded in the course of the German settlement in the east under Margrave Otto between 1156 and 1162. In 1162, Emperor Friedrich I, Barbarossa, at the request of the margrave, confirmed that he could donate 800 Hufen land, which he had cleared and made arable at his own expense, to a monastery, the later Altzella monastery . In a document from 1185 the boundaries of the Altzella monastery are described. After that, apart from Arnsdorf, Dittersdorf, Kaltofen and Naundorf, the territories of all other villages in the Striegistal community belonged to the foundation area. Although not a single name of a village in the Striegistal municipality is mentioned in the boundary description, it can be assumed that the majority of the villages existed in 1162.

It cannot be proven whether the settlement of the 800 hooves was already complete at that time. Recent research results allow the conclusion that the village of Kaltofen, possibly also Goßberg, came into being later. Böhrigen is already mentioned in a document dated June 9, 1183. From this document and from archaeological findings it is known that there were attempts to colonize the region before 1156.

From the Reformation to the middle of the 19th century

A few years after the Reformation, Ulrich von Mordeisen became the landlord of the villages of Berbersdorf, Bräunsdorf , Goßberg, Großschirma , Großvoigtsberg, Kaltofen, Kleinschirma, Kleinvoigtsberg, Kleinwaltersdorf, Langhennersdorf, Lossnitz, Mobendorf , Seifersdorf, Pappendorf and Reichenbach, which formerly belonged to the Altzella monastery . After Ulrich von Mordeisen's death, his sons inherited the villages. All three had no interest in owning five villages each. They sold them to the Saxon ruling house. Rudolf Mordeisen took the longest time. He had inherited the villages of Pappendorf, Mobendorf, Berbersdorf, Goßberg and Kaltofen. The purchase contract with Elector Christian is dated July 5, 1587. These villages were added to the Nossen Office , which was founded in the course of the Reformation, and administered from there for centuries.

In the district of Berbersdorf in 1701 two men got into a witch trial as part of the witch hunt , in the district of Marbach in 1700 an old man.

Incorporations
