history

Due to some burial grounds in the area around Bathow, it can be assumed that the area was settled from the younger Bronze Age . In the 6th century, Slavic tribes migrated from the Elbe and Lusatian Neisse rivers to Lower Lusatia. Bathow was first mentioned as Bothow in 1402 and is called Bathow from 1463 . The place name comes from Slavic and refers to a former owner of the village. Other place names included Bato in 1527, Bate in 1761 and Bathow again from 1843 .

In 1757 a Kossätstelle was mentioned in the middle of the village, two years later five Kossaten and one Büdner were recorded in Bathow . In 1818 there were eight campfire sites with 62 inhabitants in Bathow . A brick factory was opened in Bathow in 1859, and the number of inhabitants rose to 81 by 1891. Around the 19th century, the brickworks stopped operating, which was also noticeable in a sharp decline in population, shortly after the closure, the number of inhabitants fell to 54.Bathow was historically parish after Schlabendorf am See , where funerals were also carried out until 1926, afterwards Bathow got its own cemetery. Later the place was parish to Zinnitz , where the children also went to school. In the 1980s, the Bathow manor was demolished.

After the Congress of Vienna Bathow came with the entire Lower Lusatia to the Kingdom of Prussia , where the place belonged to the district of Calau . In 1950 Bathow was affiliated with the municipality of Zinnitz . On July 25, 1952, Zinnitz came with Bathow to the Calau district and after the fall of the Wall was in the Calau district in Brandenburg . After the district reform in Brandenburg on December 6, 1993 , Zinnitz and Bathow were assigned to the newly formed district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz . Zinnitz was incorporated into the city of Calau on December 31, 2001 together with the other previously independent communities Buckow , Craupe , Groß Jehser and Gollmitz .
