history

Early history and the Middle Ages

The area around Altdöbern has only been populated since the Neolithic Age , but there are no statements about the continuity of these settlements. In general, however, it is assumed that the area around Altdöbern remained practically deserted for a long time, as many Germanic tribes migrated from the Niederlausitz area. The immigration of West Slavic groups in the 6th century hardly touched the area around Altdöbern either. Afterwards the Lusitzi settled the area coming from the north until they were defeated in the course of the eastward expansion in the 10th century and the area came under the sovereignty of the German feudal state. As a result, the first German feudal estates came into being in the 11th century . The internal development of the Sorbian Lusitzi resident in the region was not disturbed by this. Nevertheless, there is no evidence of a Slavic rampart in the area of ​​today's Altdöbern, which suggests that it was still uninhabited at that time. In 1165 founded Dietrich von Landsberg the Cistercian monastery Dobrilugk what significant influence on the settlement of the surrounding areas (including today's Altdoebern) had. It is believed that the predecessor of today's Altdöbern church has existed since 1200 .

Each of the years 1239 and 1241 was in a charter Otto von Köckritz as lord called without giving residence and property was then widely believed that he or his father lord must have been from Altdöbern. This year was generally accepted as the founding date of Altdöbern and was even found in the local seal between 1934 and 1984 . The oldest official mention of Altdöbern can only be found in a document dated November 13, 1285 . There, the place is still called Latin Dobere and in a later copy Dobir . The name comes from Slavic and means village in the ground or village in the valley .

Modern times

In 1571, Hans von Dieskau had the moated castle demolished and replaced by a mansion with a tower in the Renaissance style. That was the laying of the foundation stone for Altdöbern Castle , which still exists today . The first plague cases were only reported in 1599 compared to places in the immediate vicinity . However, there was no epidemic . In the Thirty Years' War Altdoebern was spared, although troops of Wallenstein and Mansfeld passed by near and there was in the Lower Lausitz numerous looting. In 1748, Carl Heinrich von Heineken ordered a large-scale redesign of Altdöbern.

Until Pastor Lehmann's death in 1814, Lower Sorbian (Wendish) was still preached in Altdöbern , then only in German. Arnošt Muka found only 50 Wendish residents in Altdöbern in 1884.

In 1943 part of the embassy of the Kingdom of Sweden was housed in Altdöbern Castle. On April 19, 1945 Altdöbern was occupied by units of the 1st Ukrainian Front without resistance . Not inconsiderable damage was caused when the German air force attacked the advancing Soviet units in Altdöbern towards the evening of April 19 . As a result, a total of three residential buildings were also destroyed. The local brewery and electricity switchboard were bombed and burned out. In the days remaining until the end of the war, seven civilians were murdered by members of the Red Army , and more than 40 others committed suicide before the town was taken.

Administrative history

Altdöbern and its present-day districts belonged to the Calau district from 1817 to 1952 (until 1947 in the Prussian province of Brandenburg , 1947-1952 in the state of Brandenburg ). 1952-1993 the places were part of the district Calau (until 1990 in the GDR - district Cottbus , 1990-1993 again in the state of Brandenburg). Since the district reform in 1993 they have been in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district.

Chransdorf was incorporated into the municipality of Altdöbern on January 1, 1926. Peitzendorf was incorporated into the municipality in 1928. Klein Jauer followed on July 1, 1950. Ranzow and Reddern joined on February 1, 2002.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Karl-Heinz Fritze from Niederorschel and approved on February 27, 2006.

Blazon : "Split of blue and silver, in front a sheet of silver paper, covered with a blue-lined golden lily , in the back three red diagonal bars."

The lily on the arch goes back to the watermark of the former Altdöbern paper mill. The municipality of Altdöbern has only had this coat of arms since 2006. Until then, Altdöbern only had a round official seal on which there was a stylized representation of the market and the year 1285 (founding of Altdöbern). In 1938 there was a first competition to find a coat of arms. The community elders decided on a design that depicts a moated castle, a hammer and a ploughshare, but was never implemented.
