Zschachwitz
Zschachwitz was the name of a community that has belonged to Dresden since 1950 .
history
For several centuries, the name Zschachwitz initially referred to a village in the southeast of the Elbe valley , which is now known as the Dresden district of Großzschachwitz . The addition Groß- was placed in front of the name of this place in the late 18th century and had become necessary because at that time the name Kleinzschachwitz had become natural for a neighboring village on the other side of the Lockwitzbach, which had been called Zscheisewitz .
In the 19th century , Groß- and Kleinzschachwitz co-existed; the name Zschachwitz was temporarily out of use. This changed at the beginning of the 20th century . After the planned unification of the two rural communities failed and Kleinzschachwitz was then incorporated into Dresden on April 1, 1921 , Großzschachwitz looked around for new partner communities.
Finally, on January 1, 1921, the neighboring Sporbitz was incorporated into Großzschachwitz . The resulting community with its seat in Großzschachwitz was called Zschachwitz from then on, because the danger of confusion with the now Dresden-Kleinzschachwitz was banned and people thought back to their own history. A year later, Meusslitz , to the east, was added.
During this time, Zschachwitz, like the neighboring Niedersedlitz, was an up-and-coming town at the gates of the Saxon state capital. Zschachwitz received a railway connection on the Dresden – Bodenbach line . The local S-Bahn stop is therefore still called Dresden-Zschachwitz and not Dresden-Großzschachwitz or even Dresden-Sporbitz according to its actual location .
The forerunner of the sports club FV Blau-Weiß Zschachwitz , which also played its home games in what was then the Zschachwitz district of Sporbitz, was founded at a time when the community of Zschachwitz existed, which is still reflected in the club's name today. The soccer team plays today in the 7th league, the state class Saxony East.
From the middle of October 1944 to the end of April 1945 there was a satellite camp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp , whose 1,000 prisoners had to do forced labor for Mühlenbau und Industrie AG (MIAG).
On July 1, 1950, the municipality of Zschachwitz with its three districts was incorporated into Dresden. Today the term Zschachwitz stands for Großzschachwitz, i.e. the actual Zschachwitz, or the former municipality of Zschachwitz, and is sometimes used in contrast to Kleinzschachwitz or, more rarely, for the entirety of Groß- and Kleinzschachwitz. To this day a distinction is made between the statistical districts of Klein- and Großzschachwitz ; in the latter, the districts of Großzschachwitz and Sporbitz now again form a unit, whereas Meußlitz belongs to the statistical district of Kleinzschachwitz.
