history

The beginnings of the settlement go back to the 11th century, when the place was the center of a Burgward district, the only one east of the Elbe . The name of the village comes from Old Sorbian and means behind the mountain . At the end of the 12th century, a church consecrated to St. Andrew is mentioned, in the place of which a simple wooden structure probably had previously stood.

Viticulture can be traced back to 1218. This makes Zadel the Elbe wine village with the oldest documented winemaking tradition.

On January 21, 1216, a Tammo de Sconevelt ( von Schönefeld ) witnessed the transfer of the Zedele (Zadel) estate with all the hooves in the village and the church of St. Andrew to the cell of St. Maria ( Altzella monastery near Nossen) by the Margrave Dietrich .

A first school is mentioned for Zadel from 1550. In 1959 a ten-class polytechnic high school was founded in the village, which was named "Bertolt-Brecht-Oberschule" in 1968 and was converted into a primary school in 1992.

Zadel was independent until March 1, 1974, after which it was part of the municipality of Diera and since January 1, 1999, the district of Diera-Zehrens.

The vineyards of Schloss Proschwitz begin east of Zadel . The associated winery is located directly on the village green, while the castle itself is a few kilometers away in the Meißner district of Proschwitz .

St. Andrew's Church

The old church was demolished in 1841 and a new building in neo-Gothic style was erected in its place , which was consecrated in 1842. In 1842 the interior was decorated by master painters from Meissen. The altarpiece and epitaph are from the old church.

In the tower of this church there is an old Zorbern cult image, which was buried under or in the vicinity of the first church building when Christianity was introduced. This idol is compared with the Bamberg finds and seems to come from this time.
