Thiemendorf is the southernmost and at the same time the highest district of the East Saxon community of Waldhufen in the district of Görlitz .
geography
The Waldhufendorf Thiemendorf is located in a two kilometer long valley in the Königshain Mountains north of the Hochstein . This valley is closed in the east by the Schoorstein , from which the Dorfbach rises.
Surrounding towns are Wiesa in the northeast, Rengersdorf , Torga and Liebstein in the east, Königshain in the south, Arnsdorf in the southwest and Nieder Seifersdorf , Baarsdorf , Attendorf and Ullersdorf from west to north.
To the north of the location, the federal motorway 4 runs through the Königshainer Berge tunnel . The next connection points are Nieder Seifersdorf (92) in the west and Kodersdorf (93) in the east.
history
Thiemendorf was first mentioned in 1389 under the name Tymendorf , when the corner of Radeberg sold his shares in the Thiemendorf and Holtendorf estates to his brother Jone . The local form as Waldhufendorf as well as the early name form indicate that it is a settlement from the phase of the second German eastern settlement , which was created by a locator named Thiemo or Thimon . The village was probably only laid out a few decades after the villages in the region, when the fertile valleys of the Black and White Schöps were already occupied. Thiemendorf was presumably parish in Arnsdorf since the town was founded , but this can only be proven for the early 17th century due to the late beginning of the parish registers.
In 1426 ten residents of Thiemendorf were summoned to the Görlitz court, as they were accused of having broken into the house of Matthes Jon von Markersdorf and robbed there.
Heinrich von Radeberg, mentioned in 1420 and 1421, was the last Thiemendorfer landlord from the Radeberg family . After his death, Thiemendorf stayed with his widow until she also died in 1458. Since the marriage remained childless, the village fell back to the Bohemian crown , which at that time owned the two margravates of Lusatia.
The new feudal lord came from the Rabenau family . During this time, Thiemendorf probably split into several shares, since around 1483 Balthasar von Gersdorff sold his share of Arnsdorf, which also included some subjects from Thiemendorf, to Balthasar von Rabenau.
After Balthasar von Rabenau died childless in 1530, the Bohemian King Ferdinand I sold the feudal right over Thiemendorf to Wolf von Nostitz in Ullersdorf. This began the more than 400-year rule of the von Nostitz family, which only ended in 1945 with the expropriation and the subsequent land reformation. Since 1591, the neighboring Thiemendorf and Wiesa estates have always belonged to the same landlord.
Through the Peace of Prague of 1635 , the margravate of Upper Lusatia and Lower Lusatia came to the Electorate of Saxony , including Thiemendorf, during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) . Shortly after the war , the villagers, who were forced to eat , bought the right to build a mill on the village stream and grind their grain there.
Probably from the year 1726 the people of Thiemendorf were encouraged to send their children to school in Arnsdorf. Since the children often had to help out in the local economy or on the manor, most of them only rarely and irregularly attended school.
As a result of the Wars of Liberation , the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede a large part of its land area after the Congress of Vienna in 1815. As a result, Thiemendorf came to Prussia and in 1816 was incorporated into the newly founded district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) In the province of Silesia .
Due to the replacement of compulsory labor in the middle of the 19th century, which was partly paid for with agricultural land, some residents were forced to look for other forms of income in order to be able to support their families. Some of them went to the nearby stone quarries from which granite was extracted.
After the Second World War , the parts of Prussian Upper Lusatia to the west of the Lusatian Neisse were again assigned to Saxon and Thiemendorf in 1952 to the Niesky district as its southernmost municipality.
From the mouflon population settled in the Harz Mountains in 1906 , several animals were brought to the Königshain Mountains in 1965. This population increased to around 150 animals by the end of the 1970s.
As part of the Saxon municipal area reforms, Diehsa , Jänkendorf , Nieder Seifersdorf and Thiemendorf merged on March 1, 1994 to form the municipality of Waldhufen .
When planning the continuation of the Federal Motorway 4 from Bautzen to Görlitz , the original route of the Reichsautobahn near the Königshainer Mountains was discarded for nature conservation reasons and a motorway tunnel was built north of Thiemendorf instead . A relic of the original planning is an already built bridge on the Reichsautobahn, which is located in a forest near Thiemendorf.

In 1529, 19 possessed men (farmers) and 5 gardeners worked in Thiemendorf . In the next 250 years the social structure had shifted so much that in 1777 there were still 6 possessed men, but 17 gardeners and 3 cottagers . Five economies were in desolation this year. Around 1725 Thiemendorf still had 8 possessed men and 14 gardeners.
While Thiemendorf still had 276 inhabitants in 1825, the number rose rapidly towards the middle of the century, so that over 400 inhabitants were recorded in the 1860s. A slow decline ensured that Thiemendorf still had 388 inhabitants in 1885. After that, the number of inhabitants fell rapidly, which was further favored by the First World War , so that Thiemendorf in 1922 only had 280 inhabitants.
Only after the Second World War did the population rise to over 400 through the reception of refugees and displaced persons. The general population decline in the GDR and urbanization had a strong impact on Thiemendorf. In 1971 there were only 309 inhabitants and in 1988 only 217 inhabitants.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the influx of people from the surrounding cities rose sharply, so that at the turn of the millennium Thiemendorf had more than 300 inhabitants again.
