Weickersdorf ( Upper Sorbian Wukranćicy ) is a place in Eastern Saxony .

The settlement founded during the eastern colonization had been part of Goldbach since January 1st, 1977 and has belonged to the town of Bischofswerda in the Bautzen district since July 1st, 1996 .

location

Weickersdorf is close to federal highway 6 on the Dresden – Görlitz railway line . In 1909 the Weickersdorf train station was inaugurated in the presence of the Prince of Schwarzburg .

In addition to the town of Bischofswerda, located about two kilometers to the northeast, the villages of Goldbach , which also belongs to Bischofswerda, border Weickersdorf in the north and Klein- and Großdrebnitz in the southwest. The courtyards “Chikago”, “Grüne Linde” and the nearly dilapidated “Hentschelmühle” are located in the parcel a bit away from the village center. They border the Hungerau area .

Origin and origin of the name

The village was probably founded in the second half of the 12th century by Frankish settlers. Weickersdorf is mentioned for the first time around 1226 next to Goldbach and Geißmannsdorf on a return contract from King Ottokar of Bohemia to the diocese of Meißen and written there as Uikerisdorf . The name contains the designation of a locator Wīggēr or Wīghēr (i).

Settlement construction

Weickersdorf is a typical Waldhufendorf . The central axis is formed by Dorfstrasse and Dorfbach, which run almost parallel through the entire village. Like many Waldhufendörfer, Weickersdorf is a double-row village whose mostly three or four-sided farmsteads were built according to plan to the right and left of the valley edge of the Weickersdorfer Bach over a length of 1.5 kilometers. They are each assigned a strip of land in the clearing area behind the farm. Only in Niederdorf is the double-row arrangement interrupted where the Weickersdorfer pond was up until it was drained around 1800 and where a partially marshy meadow extends today. The few earlier garden foods and cottages are mainly in the upper village.

The Weickersdorfer pond was first mentioned in 1413 and extended to a size of almost ten hectares as far as Kleindrebnitz. It was part of the Stolpener Amtsteiche , which were of great importance for Weickersdorf, as well as for the surrounding towns of Kleindrebnitz and Goldbach.
