history
Uhsmannsdorf was mentioned in a document as Osansdorf in 1388 . However, as early as 1367 a Nicze Osanstorf and 1376 a Petir Osansdorf are mentioned in the oldest Görlitz town book. The place name suggests that the street village was created by German settlers and named after its locator , an Osann.
In the 1413 Görlitz town books, the brothers Thymo and Nicol von Rothenburg were named as the owners of Osinsdorff . The reinterpretation of the place name happened only gradually, 1562 is called Vsesdorf , 1732 Ußdorf and 1759 Ußmannßdorf . The Spreehammer, located on Neugraben, was originally built in 1527 by the Görlitz Council as a hammer mill settlement on the corridor of the Spree village. This place was owned by the city of Görlitz from 1465 to 1547. In 1531, the hammer master of Spree is mentioned for the first time in the Görlitz interest books.
The location on an army road had an extremely negative effect on local development in times of war. During the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) the village was heavily looted. Half a century later, the Napoleonic Wars also brought much suffering. The war burdens were put at 1425 thalers in 1813, along with taxes and looting by soldiers.
As a result of the Napoleonic Wars, Uhsmannsdorf was in the part of Upper Lusatia that Saxony had to cede to Prussia in 1815. The community was then incorporated into the newly formed district of Rothenburg (Ob. Laus.) .
In 1830 a "memorial oak" was planted on the village square to remind people that "in 1746 a shepherd's wife was tied to the damming column by the executioner and beaten with a broom because she had killed Vogt Christian Wischke with a fence post."
The construction of the Berlin – Görlitz railway line in 1867/1868 by the Berlin-Görlitzer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft brought Uhsmannsdorf a train station that was to prove beneficial for further local development. The manufacturer Otto Künzel had built a sheet glass works in 1890, which made the place widely known.
After the end of the Second World War , Uhsmannsdorf was again a Saxon municipality and, as a result of the administrative reform of 1952, was assigned to the Niesky district .
On January 1, 1999, Uhsmannsdorf was incorporated into Rothenburg / Oberlausitz. The village is the only part of Rothenburg that is not in Rothenburg, but in the Horka area code 035892.
Today the former sheet glass factory as Flachglas Uhsmannsdorf GmbH is the main employer on site.
