Local history

Wall behind the Ulbersdorf church

Ulbersdorf was laid out as a Waldhufendorf in the second phase of the German eastern settlement. The first documentary mention of the village in 1432 was followed shortly afterwards in 1443 by the documentary mention of the 12th / 13th centuries. Century church. In that year the Vorwerk was also mentioned, from which the manor arose in the following century .

An outer wall behind the church and a moat bear witness to a medieval, early German moated castle on the Schneckenberg with a tower hill from the first half of the 13th century. Raschgärtner's robbery castle is an old hilltop castle from this period , of which indistinct remains have been preserved on the Bad Schandau – Sebnitz railway line . This complex , also known as the Old Castle , is said to have served to protect medieval trade routes such as the Old Bohemian Glass Route.

Despite the creation of a second manor, the two manors Niederulbersdorf and Oberulbersdorf and thus the lordship over the village were initially owned by the Hermsdorf / Hermannsdorf families and later by Lüttichau , only in the intervening phase was there a temporary separation. When the Niederulbersdorf estate burned down in 1780, only the barn was preserved and it was not rebuilt. Ulbersdorf Castle , which was built on the 15th / 16th The manor house of the Oberulbersdorf manor, dating back to the 19th century, has been rebuilt several times.

In the 1870s, a railway connection between Upper Lusatia and the Saxon Elbe Valley was built with the Bautzen – Bad Schandau railway line and opened in 1877. Ulbersdorf received a slightly outlying train station, which improved the traffic situation in the place and increased the number of excursions.

Since 1923, a World War II memorial on the site of the old moated castle has been commemorating those who fell in the war . It was added after the Second World War .

The estate was expropriated in 1945 and its land was distributed to agricultural workers and ten new farmers as part of the 1947 land reform .

After the village was under the care of Hohnstein in the late Middle Ages, under the Hohnstein office in the early modern period and under the Pirna administration from the end of the 19th century, the Sebnitz district in the Dresden district came about as part of the administrative reform carried out in the GDR in 1952 .

On January 1, 1994, the communities Ehrenberg , Goßdorf , Lohsdorf , Rathewalde and Ulbersdorf were incorporated into the city of Hohnstein. As a result of the two district reforms in Saxony, the district of Sebnitz was merged into the district of Saxon Switzerland in August 1994 and this in turn 14 years later into the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains .

As a result of a flood on August 7, 2010, the railway line was not passable for several months due to undercuts near Ulbersdorf, among others.
