history

The place name Wölfnitz is derived from Wolf , the first name of a German locator , and thus etymologically actually goes back to the wild dog of the same name , which is also depicted in the old community seal. However, there is a German- Slavic mixed form since the ending -nitz shortening the Sorbian word for village represents or simply people means (see, Dresden ). Wölfnitz can therefore be translated as Wolfsdorf or People of the Wolf . The place arose as a farming hamlet with a block and striped corridor . In 1357 it was first mentioned as Wolfticz , in 1380 it was called Wolfenewicz . The place name then developed in the 15th century via the forms Wolffenicz and Wulfenitz to Wölffnitz , when the village was named in 1521. In the further course of the 16th century the spellings Wolffnitz and Wolfenitz appeared.

Wölfnitz belonged to the Vorwerk and Kammergut Gorbitz, which until the expropriation in the course of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945/1946 maintained an additional property , which as Altwölfnitz 2 was the largest property in the village. The Wölfnitzer inhabitants lived almost exclusively from agriculture and were for centuries to compulsory labor obligation, except for the inheritance and free good Altwölfnitz 3. This was from 1647 owned by the personal physician of the Elector Johann Georg I. Dr. Sylvester Kundmann (born May 26, 1597 in Falkenau, died September 10, 1676) and was exempt from all taxes from 1666. Wölfnitz was in the area of ​​the office or the administrative authority of Dresden . It was originally parish to Briesnitz ; from 1913 it belonged to the Gorbitz parish .

Settlement houses Am Stieglitzgrund in Wölfnitz

Compared to the villages in the surrounding area, Wölfnitz was unusually small in size and until the end of the 19th century therefore only had the organ of the assembly of all male residents instead of a municipal council. Altwölfnitz was limited to about 10 buildings. Outside the small village center there were only two houses until around 1895: As early as 1748, a country house with a simple baroque facade and rococo elements was built for a Dresden doctor at today's Olbernhauer Straße 1 , which is now a listed building. His name, House of Satisfaction , is inscribed in the cartouche of the basket arch vault above the old driveway. Around 1810, in connection with the expansion of Kesselsdorfer Straße to Chaussee, the Wölfnitzer Gasthof, first mentioned in 1816, was built. After 1945 it housed the Filmbühne Wölfnitz cinema . In 1988, three years after a fire, it had to be demolished.

From 1896 on, some new apartment houses were built away from the village center. Only now did the population of Wölfnitz noticeably increase. As part of a western extension Wölfnitz was on January 1, 1903, among others, together with Loebtau , Übigau , Plauen and Kaditz according incorporated Dresden and since then makes up a part of the state capital. Subsequently, several allotment gardens were created on the old agricultural areas . In 1925 and 1926, small semi-detached houses were added. To this day, Wölfnitz has retained its non-urban character.
