Oberwartha has a rich history. Its history stretches back about 1000 years. Oberwartha lies on the left bank of the Elbe. It sits on a high plateau between Dresden and Meißen.
Oberwartha belonged to the Gau Nisan. This was the lower land at the foot of the Saxon Ore Mountains. Bishop Benno introduced the first vines in 1066. He designated land in Oberwartha for wine growing.
Oberwartha and the Brauschenkengut were first mentioned in 1266. Bishop Albert II bought a Vorwerk from the Hospital Meißen. He also acquired land from Conrad v. Boritz. In 1266, he dedicated this acquisition to the Meißen Cathedral Chapter. This was for his soul’s salvation. It also served to honor two deceased people. Oberwartha was known as “Bischofswartha”. This was because dignitaries of the Diocese of Meißen often stayed here.
Ownership of the village passed through the hands of church dignitaries for about 250 years. Ulrich v. Wolffersdorff bequeathed land to residents in 1501. They had to deliver grain and oats to Meißen. They also had to bring manure to the vineyard.
In 1501, ownership was divided among residents. They were subject to secular and ecclesiastical duties to the Meißen Cathedral Chapter. There were two landowners. Nine gardeners, one tavern, one mill and one smithy existed then. The Bischofliches Behausung had a yard. It had meadows, orchards and vineyards.
In 1507, Matthes Gansauge was granted the Oberwartha Schenke. Donat Rudoph married a widow of the Potzschers in 1631. He became the Brauschenkengut owner. Croats invaded Oberwartha during the Thirty Years’ War. This led to looting and arson. Hans Rudoph expanded the estate in 1709. It included land in Unkersdorf and Hühndorf. Oberwartha has also seen fires over the years.
Oberst Graf von Donhoff occupied Oberwartha in the Seven Years’ War. The community had to provide money and food.
Franz-Karl Lucius named the estate Kellerhof. He received permission to build a wooden observation tower. Fritz Arndt took over the Brauschenkengut in 1885. He made extensive renovations. In 1892, Fritz Arndt renamed the Brauschenkengut to Klostergut. He aimed to make the place more popular. He wanted to promote it as a health resort. He pursued modern ecological agriculture. He changed the village’s infrastructure.
King Friedrich-August III visited the Klostergut in 1907 and 1914. Erwin Schiviz von Schivizhoffen took over the farm in 1919. In 1922, a bronze memorial plaque was unveiled for World War I victims. Hans Froberg leased the Klostergut from 1931 to 1948.
Today, the Oberes Förster Gut is being restored. A Böblingen investor initiated the measures in 2007. The Oberes Förster Gut continues to evolve. It blends historical significance with modern living.
