Hohwald was a municipality in the Sächsische Schweiz district, in Saxony, Germany. It consisted of Berthelsdorf, Langburkersdorf, Niederottendorf, Oberottendorf, Rückersdorf and Rugiswalde.

History

The municipality was created on 1 January 1994 through the merger of three former municipalities Berthelsdorf, Langburkersdorf and Rückersdorf.[1] The name was taken from the forest area Hohwald which is located north-east of the municipal territory. On 1 August 2007 it became part of Neustadt in Sachsen,[1] after the residents decided on the 13 May 2007 to join the larger town.[2]
