history

Voigtsdorf manor (around 1860)
Evangelical Church Voigtsdorf

August Schumann mentions in 1825 in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony Voigtsdorf concerning u. a .:

“Voigtsdorf has around 1050 inhabitants, proportionally a lot of goods, which are also mostly well-built, and generally have around 59 (often over 40 acres) Hufen field; also a large and pretty hereditary dish with an inn and a small lime kiln, 2 stately and 2 privative grinding mills; 2 oil mills, several flax crushers u. s. w. The main livelihood is cattle breeding (close to 400 cows) and agriculture, especially flax cultivation ; But many craftsmen also live here, including a well-equipped, very elegant carpenter. "

Albert Schiffner added in 1833 a. a .:

“[…] There are also quartz deposits in the gneiss u. Mica slate , etc. individual feldspar camps . "

The local, former manor belonged to those of Hartitzsch . In 1365 Nicol Hartitzsch took it as a fief from the Meißnische Burgraves after Peter von Erdmannsdorf had owned it. In 1537 Hanus von Hartitzsch received the feud, who died in Dresden in 1578 at the age of 99 and left seven manors behind. His brother Asmus founded the so-called Voigtsdorf line of the sex. He is said to have died at the age of 110, which means that not sons but three grandchildren inherited him. The manor was then divided into two halves: "[...] what the creek on the left bank [in the southeast] lay down Voigtsdorf, the rest was [in the northwest] but top Voigtsdorf." Among the possessions included, among others, a sheep farm, woodlands, a lime kiln , a clay pit near Dorfchemnitz and Wolfsgrund.

There is evidence that the first church was built in the 14th century. In 1617 this was dilapidated, but could not be repaired due to the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War . In 1667–69 there was a fundamental renovation and redesign, and in 1780–82 an extension was made with an extension.
On June 13, 1863, the building caught fire due to lightning and burned down to the foundation walls. The construction of the current building began with the laying of the foundation stone on July 26, 1864, and the consecration took place on October 22, 1866. Originally the ringing consisted of three bronze bells that were removed and melted down during World War II. They were later replaced by steel bells. The church tower clock was renewed in 1966, and the church has been successively renovated since 1992. The parsonage built in 1672 still belongs to the parish, the church school built in 1682 with a teacher's apartment as well as substitute, bakery and water house with bath room as extensions of the parsonage. Some of the buildings mentioned have been preserved to this day.

The Voigtsdorf manor with Voigtsdorf and Wolfsgrund belonged as an exclave to the office of Wolkenstein until 1832 . Only then was it incorporated into the Freiberg district office . In 1857 Hans Adolph von Hartitzsch - the last liege lord of Voigtsdorf - died . The inheritance went to von Lüttichau , owner of the manor in Dorfchemnitz. As a result, the local manor district was dissolved.

In 1852 a school was built in Obervoigtsdorf. However, this and the church school were soon no longer sufficient. On October 21, 1879, it was decided to build a new school, the location chosen was a plot of land on Zethauer Strasse and thus roughly in the center of the town. In 1939, a third classroom was given its purpose through expansion, after which the school in Obervoigtsdorf could be dispensed with. In 1957 a kindergarten was built. In 1974 the school building was extended. As a result of falling student numbers, the school was finally closed in 2000. After the subsequent renovation work, the building now houses a kindergarten and daycare center, as well as club rooms.

On July 1, 1897, Voigtsdorf received a railway connection on the narrow-gauge Mulda – Sayda line , but the station was over 4 kilometers east of the town center and therefore extremely unfavorable. On July 18, 1966, operations were stopped and the line was later dismantled. The manor buildings were razed after the Second World War.

On January 1, 1994 Voigtsdorf was incorporated into Dorfchemnitz.
