Ulbersdorf church

Ulbersdorf has been founded as a Waldhufendorf during the second phase of the German eastward expansion. It was first mentioned in 1432, in 1433 the church from the 12th/13th century was first mentioned, too. A 1433 mentioned vorwerk became a manor in the 16th century and even a second manor was built. For most of the time both manors belonged to the same families.

Wolf Adolf August von Lüttichau (1786–1863) was born in Ulbersdorf. He became later intendant of the Saxon State Theatre in Dresden. He and his wife Ida von Lüttichau (1798–1856) used Ulbersdorf manor as a second residence.

In 1877 the Bautzen–Bad Schandau railway line was built between the Upper Lusatian town Bautzen and Schandau at the river Elbe. Ulbersdorf railway station was located outside the village.

A World War I memorial was built in 1923. Additions were made to it after World War II.

In 1947 a land reform happened in Ulbersdorf like in most municipalities within the Soviet occupation zone.

On 1 January 1994 the municipalities Ehrenberg, Goßdorf, Lohsdorf, Rathewalde and Ulbersdorf were incorporated into the town of Hohnstein.
