history

Local history

A Bronze Age burial ground found in the district documents prehistoric settlement activity. In an unsuccessful search for lignite in 1828, larger parts of tertiary plant fossils were discovered under a weak seam.

The oldest known documented mention of Teicha dates back to 1366, when a Nickil von dem Tiche was recorded in the oldest Görlitz town book . Until the beginning of the 16th century, the village belonged to the Daubitz manor , at the latest from 1532 this was exercised by the manor in Teicha.

Teicha was parish off to Daubitz as early as the pre-Reformation period. When a school was set up in Daubitz during or shortly after the Reformation , Daubitz also became a school for the Teicha children.

In the course of the Peace of Prague , Teicha came with Upper and Lower Lusatia from the Kingdom of Bohemia to the Electorate of Saxony in 1635 . Saxony , which was elevated to a kingdom in 1806, had to accept large cedings of territory to Prussia at the Congress of Vienna , so that Teicha also became Prussian from 1815 for the next 130 years. As part of an administrative reform, Teicha came to the newly founded district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) In the Prussian province of Silesia in 1816 . Its first district administrator was Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich von Roeder , who owned the Teicha estate until 1813.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, two mills , including an oil mill , were operated with water power ; a hydro-powered yarn bleaching facility existed until 1895.

The Teicha mining company , which later became the Rietschen fireclay factory , was founded in 1907 and was dedicated to the mining of loam and clay deposits, which were processed by a brickworks and two potteries , among others .

Teicha has had its own volunteer fire brigade since 1915 .

After the Second World War Teicha 1945 came to the west of the Neisse lying part of the Prussian Oberlausitz back to the land of Saxony and was in the administrative reform of 1952 the county White water in district Cottbus assigned.

The Görlitz cloth manufacturer Lehmann bought the estate in 1945 , where he set up a restaurant with weekly dance and cinema events. Since 1948 the mansion was leased to the district, which housed a tuberculosis sanatorium in it. The building became public property in 1957 and served from 1966 to 1990 as a branch of the Weißwasser Hospital to care for up to 40 chronically ill people.

On March 15, 1992, the four communities Daubitz , Rietschen , Teicha and Viereichen merged to form today's community of Rietschen.

Population development

For the Saxon recess in 1777, three were in Teicha gardeners and 17 cottagers determined.

From the first population census in 1825, the population almost doubled from 190 to 344 in 1925, but then fell back to around 280 in 1946. Apart from a few fluctuations, this level remained until the 1970s, after which the population fell to around 220 in the 1980s and 1990s.

While the place had just under 250 inhabitants at the turn of the millennium, in 2009 it was only 208.

By the end of the 19th century, Teicha was almost entirely German and was on the edge of the Sorbian language area. When Arnošt Muka visited the villages of Upper Lusatia in the early 1880s to compile statistics on the Sorbian population, he counted only 14 Sorbs in the three neighboring towns of Rietschen, Teicha and Neuhammer , who made up 1.3% of the population of the 1047 inhabitants .

Place name

The place name, first mentioned in 1402 as Angnyt vom Tyche and 1405 as de Tyche , was given as early as 1419 with Teiche by dem Dawpiz . This was followed in the 15th and 16th centuries as ponds , ponds or ponds and in 1643 the village of Teicha .

Although the name, which describes a settlement at or to the pond, is of German origin in this form, it was renamed Teichrode during the National Socialist era . As with the non-Slavic place name of Mortka , the decisive factor was probably the Slavic suffix -a . As with most of the renamed places in the former Rothenburg district, they were renamed in 1947.

The Sorbian place name was uniformly reproduced with Hatk in the 19th century . It is made up of has 'pond' and the diminutive suffix -k , which means "small pond".
