Atterwasch ( Lower Sorbian Wótšowaš ) is a village in the municipality of Schenkendöbern in the Spree-Neisse district in Brandenburg .

location

Atterwasch is located on the L 46 between Kerkwitz and Schenkendöbern , about six kilometers southwest of Guben. The B 320 passes the village about two kilometers north. To the north of Atterwasch is the Schenkendöberner See and the Schwarzes Fließ stream.

history

People settled here early on. So flint artifacts were found north of Atterwasch. To the southeast, a burial site from the Late Bronze Age was excavated in the 1990s. The founding of today's village probably took place around 1235. On September 29, 1294, the provost Dietrich von Guben acquired a large part of the village, so it was the first documentary mention. Later the property was transferred to the Benedictine monastery in Guben. Little is known about other owners. In 1818 197 inhabitants lived here, in 1871 about 303.

In 1962 the LPG "Am Schwarzen Fließ" was founded, which in 1972 merged with LPG Tierproduktion. Further associations with other LPG companies existed until 1990 as LPG animal production "Otto Thiele".

On October 26, 2003 Atterwasch was incorporated into Schenkendöbern.

Attractions

In the list of architectural monuments in Schenkendöbern , five architectural monuments are listed for Atterwasch .

church

Atterwascher village church

The church and the rectory in Atterwasch are listed as architectural monuments . The oldest known written mention of the church comes from the State Archives in Wroclaw. The church is already mentioned in a letter from Margrave Dietrich from 1294. It is assumed that the east gable with its arched group of windows could still come from this period. After the Thirty Years' War the church was rebuilt and consecrated again in 1685. The 5-storey tower extension made of red brick dates back to 1840. The top of the tower is the top of the former virgin monastery in front of Guben.

The altar, a baroque crucifixion altar, was erected in 1713. Its origin is unknown. The pulpit comes from the Renaissance and was previously in the old town and main church of Guben. The stairs to the pulpit were shortened in the course of the installation in the Atterwascher church. The gallery is adorned with coats of arms (families Grünewald and Zobeltitz) and Bible verses. The organ was built in 1905 ( Grüneberg company from Stettin). It has 7 registers with 405 pipes, a manual and a pedal. In 1991 it was restored ( Scheffler company from Frankfurt / Oder).

The rectory received media attention across Germany in 2016 when the Spree-Neisse district ordered the dismantling of an installed photovoltaic system, as it did not fit into the existing ensemble of monuments, although at that time the demolition of the monument to enlarge the Jänschwalde opencast mine was planned .

economy

energy

Alongside Kerkwitz and Grabko, Atterwasch is one of three villages that were to be completely relocated and dredged according to Vattenfall's original plans for the planned Jänschwalde-Nord open-cast lignite mine . The residents of the three places protested annually in January with a star march against the plans of the group. However, on March 30, 2017, the new owner LEAG announced that it would not expand Jänschwalde.

The planned devastation of the three locations was discussed by the documentary filmmaker Peter Benedix in the films Heimat auf Zeit (2009) and BrückenJahre (2014).

A biogas system (195 kW output ) and several solar systems in Atterwasch generate more electricity from renewable energies than the village itself consumes.
