St. Jacob's Cemetery Church in Ortrand. (Cemetery Chapel). Info: A 13th-century hall church, Ortrand's oldest architectural monument. It lies on the Way of St. James, the pilgrimage route to the tomb of the church's patron saint, James the Elder, in Santiago de Compostela. St. Jacob's Church was Ortrand's parish church until the 16th century. Since then, it has served as a burial church.

In 1754, local judge Lehmann pushed through the construction of a church building "against the grumbling of a few stubborn people." The old wooden chapel in the plague cemetery outside the village (to the right of the former town hall) was in such a deplorable condition that "dogs and swine could pass under the threshold." We do not know the builder. It is highly likely that local craftsmen erected the church. Before this construction project began, there were apparently many disagreements among the residents at the time, so that even the building materials that had already been brought in were quickly sold. The church itself is a simple half-timbered structure with sparing Baroque elements. It is said to have seated 250 people. This number may have corresponded to the population of the village at the time. The communion vessels, chalice, two jugs, and two plates, as well as the candlesticks and baptismal font, all made of Zins, are still in use today. The interior of the chapel is quite simple. To save space, the pulpit was placed directly above the altar. There's nothing pompous about it, and that's precisely what makes it so beautiful. It's also noteworthy that only the morning and sunny sides have windows, while the other two sides of the nave remain windowless. In 1921, the church in Zschornegosda was thoroughly renovated. It also received a new roof, pews were repaired, and the church was modernized by replacing the old, inadequate lighting with electric light. At the same time, a large painted plaque of honor, listing the names and dates of the 74 Zschornegosda soldiers who died in World War I, was hung. A special purchase was a large pedal harmonium, as an organ was too expensive. The Luther Memorial in Zschornegosda was dedicated on December 3, 1933 (the first Sunday of Advent). Afterward, Luther's name was transferred to the village church. The boulder from an open-cast mine is approximately 1.20 m high and 1.35 m wide. The applied bronze plates are from the Lauchhammer art foundry. The upper circular one bears a relief of Martin Luther's head. The lower rectangular one bears the inscription: "In memory of Martin Luther * 1483 - 1546." The occasion was the 450th anniversary of Martin Luther's birth. Source: Schwarzheide Local Chronicle

Worth seeing! Incidentally, the castle is visible from afar when coming from the north on the Pulsnitz cycle path.

Always sad to see how many men have fallen in such small places.

It's always sad to see how many people died in the war.
