Markersdorf

Markersdorf (Upper Sorbian: Markoćicy) is a municipality in the district of Görlitz in Saxony, Germany, near to the eastern border with Poland.

About 25 kilometres directly to the south, Markersdorf is also the former German name of Markocice, a small township in Gmina Bogatynia, Poland.

Markersdorf lies at the foot of the Landeskrone, bordering the town of Görlitz to the east.

The municipality of Markersdorf was first mentioned in print in 1360, in a foundation certificate in the Görlitz city book.

The proximity of the city of Görlitz brought the surrounding area not only economic boom, but also suffering in times of war.
