history

Radibor is first mentioned in a document in 1359. However, a parish already existed around 1220. The origin of the place name has not been conclusively clarified, in any case it comes from Sorbian. Based on the oldest known mention as Ratibor , etymologists today consider a combination of rat (war) and boriti se (argue, fight) to be likely. For theories based on the name of a hero who “likes to fight”, there are no parallels in the rest of Lusatia.

The Radibor parish was the only one in Saxony under secular feudal rule that remained Catholic after the Reformation . The conversion to Protestantism was tried several times in the 16th and 17th centuries by the evangelical landlords of the estate, but always failed due to massive resistance from the population.

In 1890 Radibor received a station on the Bautzen – Königswartha railway line , which was later extended to Hoyerswerda . From 1906 it was also connected to Weißenberg and Löbau via the Löbau – Radibor railway line . An extension of the Saxon Northeast Railway via Crostwitz to Kamenz was planned , but this was never realized. Passenger traffic in the direction of Löbau was discontinued in 1972, that between Bautzen and Hoyerswerda in 1999. The two lines were closed in 1998 and 2001 and subsequently dismantled.

In 1895/96 the new parish church Maria Rosenkranzkönigin ( Cyrkej swj. Marije, kralowny swjateho róžowca ) was built in the southern part of the village in addition to the already existing churches - old parish church (13th century) and cruciform church (1397). Its striking tower can be seen from afar.

The places Luppa and Luttowitz were incorporated on January 1, 1994. This was followed on October 1, 1998 by the three districts of Cölln, Großbrösern and Milkwitz in what was then the municipality of Kleinwelka. Milkel joined on January 1, 1999.

Population: language and denomination

For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 571 in the 1880s; 548 of them were Sorbs (96%) and 23 were Germans. In 1956 Ernst Tschernik still counted a Sorbian-speaking share of 73.2% of the population in the municipality of Radibor.

According to the 2011 census, of 3,299 inhabitants, 1,137 were Roman Catholic (34.5%), 1,081 Protestant (32.8%) and 1,081 belonged to another or no religious community (32.8%).

In connection with the Saxon district reform , the municipal administration sought a merger with the neighboring municipality of Großdubrau in 2008 . For this reason, on March 2, 2008, a referendum on the municipal merger was carried out. A narrow majority in Radibor voted in favor of the move, while a clear majority of the major Dubai voters decided against the merger.

Mayor of Radibor is Madeleine Rentsch. On February 9, 2020, she was elected to succeed Vinzenz Baberschke, who had led the community since 1992, with 55.6 percent of the vote. The turnout was 74.7 percent.

education

The municipality of Radibor has the Sorbian elementary and secondary school “ Dr. Marja Grólmusec ”. According to the plans of the Saxon Ministry of Culture, the secondary school should be closed due to falling student numbers. However, the municipality was able to assert itself against this decision before the Higher Administrative Court. The high school is one of four remaining Sorbian high schools in Saxony.
